COVID-19 Second Wave<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Gauteng to KwaZulu-Natal, hospitals are running out of ICU beds, oxygen supply is low and ambulances full of critically ill patients are being turned away and \u2013 with a vaccine still some time away \u2013 South Africa\u2019s healthcare system is struggling to cope under the weight of an upsurge of COVID-19 patients.  As a new, more contagious variant of the coronavirus spreads throughout the country, government has once again tightened regulations, but is it enough? Carte Blanche heads to KZN to investigate the impact of the second wave in this key province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claire Mawisa:<\/strong> \u201cSome people get involved in alleged pyramid schemes, well aware of the high risk of losing their investment. It’s high stakes gambling for them, trying to get money out before the entire scheme collapses. What many don’t know though is that, even if one gets a payout from the scheme, all those monies could still be seized after a successful investigation. A friendly warning to those who participated in the MTI scheme: do not spend the money you earned \u2013 law enforcement may be on its way to you!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cape High Court has set four provisional liquidators the task of tracking down assets that can still be found after the mammoth Mirror Trading International shut down in December \u2013 this after numerous investors were unable to withdraw their money. Marketed as a multilevel bitcoin investment scheme and valued at up to R9 billion, MTI claim they\u2019ve made up to 10% in returns per month using a computerised trading system. But why was the Financial Sector Conduct Authority unable to find evidence of trading success by the company? Has the CEO really disappeared as has been widely reported? Carte Blanche reveals how 300,000 members were duped out of their life savings as investigators try to account for nearly 23,000 Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hollywood Hokum<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arts world internationally is reeling from the impact of COVID-19 on live performances and movie productions, but that hasn\u2019t stopped one enterprising local talent agent from marketing his services to aspiring actors and making big promises of fame and gigs in Hollywood. He even presented acting workshops to help his aspiring stars get ready for the big time. Now, some clients say it was all too good to be true and the money they poured into the dream just bought them pie in the sky. Carte Blanche investigates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Africa\u2019s First Wave COVID-19 Successes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early on, experts predicted that the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic would cripple Africa\u2019s vulnerable healthcare systems. But across the continent \u2013 for a short time at least \u2013 some countries proved far more resilient. Now, they\u2019ll have to do it again as a second wave of infections continues to spread. Carte Blanche analyses how some countries rallied, using novel approaches and smart technology \u2013 including robots and drones \u2013 to help in the fight against the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
