Mugabe Falls
As millions of Zimbabweans celebrated the resignation of Robert Mugabe as President of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa, Mugabe’s former right–hand fist, prepares to take over the reins as interim president of the country.

Boxing Grannies
Gogos are packing a punch in a bid to win the battle against old age. Twice a week, women between the ages of 60 and 75, are learning to “float like a butterfly and sting like a bee”, as they train with a former body builder in Cosmo City. The training is tough and the fitness regimes are exhausting, but it’s giving these women a new lease on life. Carte Blanche enters the ring with these extraordinary women.
