From diesel skimming to tanker hijackings and petrol depot robbery: over the years, Carte Blanche has investigated multiple criminal networks fuelling the illicit trade in what&#8217;s known as liquid gold. But as old schemes are exposed, criminals evolve. Now, fuel spiking \u2013 blending diesel with cheaper ingredients, often paraffin \u2013 has taken off on an industrial level. &nbsp;It\u2019s a criminal MO affecting every South African and costing the country millions of every day. After several months of investigating these illicit operations, we uncover an elaborate cross-border tax fraud scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Producer: Nicky Troll | Presenter: Macfarlane Moleli<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=GeXrgE4R_jg\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AmaPanyaza<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thirty-year-old Andrew Make is lucky to be alive. For weeks, he lived in excruciating agony from injuries sustained in a savage beating. His attackers, he says, weren\u2019t criminals but Gauteng\u2019s new crime busters known colloquially as AmaPanyaza. He alleges they forced their way into his house claiming to be searching for drugs. When they found none, Make claims they turned on him in a frenzy of shouts, punches and kicks. His is one of several allegations made against the Crime Prevention Wardens. Hastily trained, how well-equipped are they to keep the streets of Gauteng safe and can they be trusted to stay on the right side of the law themselves?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Producer: Bongani Bingwa | Presenter: Bongani Bingwa \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Un-Welfare | Carte Blanche | M-Net\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_TZRDbRDCPg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WATCH AGAIN: Un-welfare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This story originally aired on 18 June 2023.<\/strong> Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are the backbone of the social care system in Gauteng. They provide food, shelter, and medical care for some of the most vulnerable members of society, often reaching people and places that government simply can\u2019t. Now, as Gauteng considers a policy shift for NGOs &#8211; which could reduce the very funding that these organisations need to stay afloat &#8211; the social security net that has been supporting those in need could finally crumble. But why is government so intent on changing the playing field?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=d_tCezvUbn4\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saving Private Rhino<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Poaching has decimated our rhino population, a scourge that continues unabated despite concerted attempts by conservation groups and others to stem the tragic tide. Now, this threatened species has been given a lifeline: 2 000 semi-wild rhinos, once owned by a high-profile businessman and breeder, will be rewilded into reserves across the continent. It\u2019s an audacious plan with significant risks, but the purchase of the world\u2019s largest population of privately owned rhino could be a game-changer for these mammals. Can this ambitious conservation effort help secure a future for the white rhino? &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Producer: Julian Sun | Presenter: Masa Kekana<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">CARTE BLANCHE: THE PODCAST<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hope in a Hopeless World<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve seen the devastation of the Israel-Hamas War and South Africa won\u2019t be left unscathed.
