Zimbabwe: A New Dawn?

As soldiers patrol the streets of Harare, taking over the state broadcaster ZBC, the ruling party Zanu-PF continues to deny reports of a military takeover in Zimbabwe. Meanwhile, hope is rising that the country may finally see long-awaited change. Carte Blanche gets in-depth analysis on these political developments.

Stock Theft

Usually when a criminal is sentenced to serve time behind bars, that marks the end of his unlawful activities. But one scamster has been running a sophisticated operation, stealing from desperate farmers – seemingly from within his cell – inside Kroonstad Prison. From cattle, to sheep – livestock theft has been taken to a whole new level.  Carte Blanche investigates this cunning conman.

Producer: Nicky Troll
Presenter: Devi Sankaree Govender

The digital age has heralded new unprecedented means of surveillance, and as more of our personal information goes online, our lives are now subject to State-sponsored espionage. Governments with dubious human rights records are using mass surveillance technology to thoroughly track and quell any murmurs of dissent – and Western companies are providing the technology to do so.
