Beitbridge Border Bribes <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the face of it, it costs just a few hundred rands to illegally move goods across the border of South Africa and Zimbabwe. But with hundreds of smugglers operating on either side of the Beitbridge border, it\u2019s a lucrative source of income. South African National Defence Force soldiers patrol the multi-million rand fence between these two countries. So, how is it possible that the smugglers (also called \u201ccarriers\u201d) continue to operate so brazenly? In this exclusive investigation, Carte Blanche takes its cameras inside this criminal network to reveal who\u2019s really running this illicit operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bongani\u00a0Bingwa:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u201cIt was a match made in heaven. Post democracy, the ANC had voters eating out of its hands. What has gone wrong to put the dream-marriage now on the rocks?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An End to the Liberation Fairy Tale? <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the perfect match: a party that delivered the nation\u2019s liberation,\u00a0and an electorate hungry for the fruits of freedom. From \u201994, election after election gave the ANC comfortable majorities as it continued to enjoy unwavering support, even as the cracks of factionalism began to show. With the vast majority of voters not even bothering to turn up on the day, what does it mean for South Africa\u2019s future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Celebration of\u00a0Afrikaaps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A strange dialect for some, but a rich and beautiful\u00a0language for others:\u00a0from the playful\u00a0greeting\u00a0of\u00a0\u2018haalihaa\u201d to the friendly acknowledgement of\u00a0\u201caw\u00ea\u201d,\u00a0Afrikaaps\u00a0is\u00a0now taking its rightful place as an historical but often denigrated language.\u00a0And it\u2019s all\u00a0thanks to the efforts and energy of a new, younger generation of\u00a0people determined to\u00a0take it from its Creole roots into the mainstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capetonian Chris\u00a0Bertish\u00a0is the ultimate waterman. From surfing death-defying waves to paddling solo and unsupported 4500 miles across the\u00a0Atlantic Ocean, he has set\u00a0a number of\u00a0world first paddle records. His next groundbreaking goal is to wing foil from California to Hawaii in the United States harnessing\u00a0the\u00a0wind\u00a0to power his adventure across the Pacific – all in aid of conservation awareness and to raise money for Operation Smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
