Water Restrictions<\/h6>\n

Hefty fines await consumers as municipalities implement water restrictions. Government lays the blame squarely on the drought, but water experts firmly believe it could have been prevented, despite low rainfall figures across the country. Carte Blanche asks: Is the drought perhaps a convenient scapegoat for mismanagement of resources and crumbling municipal infrastructure?<\/p>\n

Visa Vitriol<\/h6>\n

The Department of Home Affairs\u2014described by some as \u2018horror affairs\u2019\u2014introduced visa-handling service VFS in 2014 to streamline administration. But for foreigners – many of whom bring rare skills and investment into the country, applying to live and work in South Africa and complying with immigration regulations is still a nightmare experience. They report an expensive and cumbersome process in which the Department of Home Affairs allegedly rejects 40 percent of applications out of hand. Carte Blanche investigates.<\/p>\n

Honeymoon Castaways<\/h6>\n

What constitutes a dream honeymoon? How does a terrifying row across the Pacific with the love of your life sound? Riaan Manser and his new wife Vasti decided they wanted a story to tell their children, so the couple embarked on a trip to Hawaii in a one ton rowing craft. Two days in, they were hit by a huge wave in the dark and their craft capsized. Carte Blanche joins the Mansers for a frank and amusing reflection on the most dangerous trip explorer Riaan has ever undertaken.<\/p>\n
