The Greatest Love: Watch Carte Blanche, this Sunday 20 December 2020 at 19:00, only on M-Net<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a special Carte Blanche broadcast, we take Christmas to the next level with celebrated musician Belinda Davids as she helps us unwrap some of the great developments to have emanated out of a year of global upheaval and suffering. With Davids\u2019 characteristic four octave vocal range, we usher in Christmas Eve with a celebration of love and courage.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Great Transnet Fuel Fightback   <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuel is like liquid gold on the black market and from diesel skimming to hijacking petrol tankers and robbing petrol depots \u2013 Carte Blanche has exposed every modus operandi. Now criminals target Transnet fuel pipelines buried at least two metres underground in a network that spans 3800km over five provinces. While it may be more labour-intensive for criminals, the rewards make it worth the effort. But as an assault on essential infrastructure and one that causes major long-term environmental damage, the punishment is just as severe. We investigate how this priority crime is receiving the attention of the investigators and prosecutors engaged in a high-tech war on fuel thieves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenging the Climate Clock<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the last couple of years at the height of summer, Carte Blanche has covered devastating storms in Mozambique \u2013 with the names Dineo and Idai synonymous with lives and livelihoods lost \u2013 these extreme weather events are manifestations of the global climate emergency. We have featured one scientist after another with the message that although it\u2019s late in the day, there\u2019s still time to do something \u2013 and that because the crisis has been caused by humans, solutions must come from us. Now we celebrate a team of local experts that has been awarded the British Council\u2019s coveted R10 million Newton Prize which recognises their research unearthing vital new knowledge to prevent a looming food security crisis in the Western Indian Ocean. We meet Professor Michael Roberts from Nelson Mandela University\u2019s National Oceanography Centre and one of the young scientists working with him off the coast of Africa to challenge what seems inevitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lockdown Charity Becomes Food for All<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When hard lockdown hit this year, food queues and soup kitchens sprung up to alleviate the burden of what analysts predicted would be food scarcity of biblical proportions. Reaching across neighbourhood boundaries in Cape Town, some richer suburbs assisted with food parcels and supplies. Carte Blanche investigates how outreaches of charity have grown into a food garden movement based on bonds of enduring partnership and experts volunteering their time online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making a Difference at Tygerberg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carte Blanche visits the specialised teams that are working around the clock on the 20th project of the Carte Blanche Making a Difference Trust \u2013 a state-of-the-art two-bed cardiothoracic neonatal and paediatric intensive care unit for children with congenital heart, chest or lung conditions in Cape Town\u2019s Tygerberg Hospital. More than 7000 babies are born here every year and a fifth will need surgical procedures. We thank the project partners and sponsors whose generosity and vision sustain the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
