Night Shift<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man is rushed into the emergency unit, battling to breath. He urgently needs oxygen but, in his state of confusion, is fighting off the doctors. Moments later, a teenager is wheeled in with multiple stab wounds \u2013 earlier left for dead in a pool of water on a freezing night. Battling fatigue and sometimes violent patients, this is the Mitchells Plain Emergency Unit where inexperienced doctors become trauma specialists. Carte Blanche spends a night, watching these selfless doctors desperately trying to save lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicken Dump<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A truck reverses onto a veld outside Potchefstroom, tipping its contents into a shallow quarry \u2013 chicken offal from a nearby abattoir. But it\u2019s not the first time an accredited chicken abattoir supplying major retailers has ruffled feathers: insiders have long accused it of unhygienic and unsafe working conditions. Carte Blanche investigates whether there\u2019s substance to claims this well-known brand is intent on cutting corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nice to Meat You<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They call themselves farmers of the future, but these innovative scientists don\u2019t own any grazing land or livestock. Instead, this ground-breaking new start-up in Cape Town is growing real meat, guilt free, in a lab. Currently, their hamburger patty costs an eye watering R3000 to produce, but that could soon change as they upscale their operations. And it doesn\u2019t end there: they\u2019ve set their sights on securing a slice of the supermarket trade by growing chicken, lamb and pork. Carte Blanche gets a taste of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soaring Everest<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

South African Pierre Carter is an unassuming man. He enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, their four dogs in tow. But beneath this calm exterior is a man with an appetite for danger. So much so that he set off on the adventure of a lifetime to the Himalaya\u2019s, not only to climb Mount Everest, but to fly off it. The Springbok paraglider perched about 800 metres below the summit of the world\u2019s highest peak and took the terrifying leap, successfully landing and making history. But Pierre isn\u2019t done yet. Carte Blanche takes flight with the first man to legally paraglide off Mount Everest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
