Lens on Luthuli House

This week’s #OccupyLuthuliHouse campaign brought tension to the streets flanking the ruling party headquarters. Scuffles broke out between those protesting current ANC party politics and those determined to defend them. Among demands made to the ANC by campaign organisers is a call to immediately recall President Zuma and for the NEC to follow suit and resign. Can the ruling party withstand an onslaught from its own members? Carte Blanche asks: what do these voices of discontent mean for the ANC?

Microplastics

It’s predicted that by 2050 there will be more plastic in our oceans than marine life. But even more detrimental to fish, humans and the environment are so-called microplastics—tiny but deadly pieces of plastic containing toxic chemicals that end up in fish and ultimately in us. Carte Blanche asks: what are the long term consequences of microplastics on our oceans and our food security?

As the alleged boss of the so-called Cato Manor Death Squad, Booysen speaks frankly to Carte Blanche about charges levelled against him, the abuse of state resources, his life in the force and the capture of democratic institutions.
