Durban\u2019s Drug Turf War<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting of alleged Durban drug lord Yaganathan \u201cTeddy Mafia\u201d Pillay led to an unimaginably barbaric scene when gangsterism and mob justice collided in a community beset by poverty and drug addiction. The people of Shallcross have been caught in a violent drug turf war that’s claimed seven lives in drive-by shootings in just 13 months. In a community where drug lords are said to enjoy the protection of the community and alleged crooked cops, Carte Blanche explores the driving forces that ended in blood on the streets as police appeared ineffective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derek Watts:<\/em><\/strong> \u201cWhile South Africa focuses primarily on the vaccine rollout, another vital element \u2013 oxygen \u2013 is somewhat overlooked in the ongoing fight against COVID-19. Across the country, oxygen supplies are critically low and rural areas are worst-hit. But a doctor in the Eastern Cape has developed a relatively simple device that could save the lives of many.\u201d <\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OxERA \u2013 a Breath of Fresh Air in COVID-19\u2019s Second Wave<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For doctors on the frontline of the COVID-19 fight, manpower and resources have been stretched to the limit as the deadly second wave continues to ravage the country. With oxygen suppliers battling to keep up with the demand, Carte Blanche meets a local doctor from Frere Provincial Hospital in the Eastern Cape with a unique combination of skills, training and friends that have enabled him to devise the ingenious OxERA device. Already recognised by the government\u2019s regulatory authorities, the proudly local invention has enabled doctors to help some critically ill patients receive oxygen and prevent their lungs from collapsing \u2013 for many, the difference between life and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
