Desperate parents are looking to stem cell therapy as a revolutionary cure, travelling as far as India for help. But mainstream medical experts warn that it\u2019s premature to recommend it as a standard treatment for Autism. Carte Blanche investigates.<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Sophia Phirippides<br \/>\nPresenter: Derek Watts<\/p>\n<h3>Cape drought<\/h3>\n<p>Western Cape dam levels have dropped to a critical 18% and with no sign of winter rain to bring much-needed relief, the province has been declared a disaster area. Emergency plans are hurriedly being put into place to supplement existing water supplies, while long-term solutions are being sought. The city has meanwhile urged residents to only use water for absolute essentials, but consumption still remains way above target levels. Carte Blanche asks: will the disaster declaration result in swift action or is it too little too late?<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Michael Duffet<br \/>\nPresenter: John Webb<\/p>\n<h3>A cut above \u2013 SA\u2019s sheep shearing champion<\/h3>\n<p>The sporting rivalry between South Africa, New Zealand and Australia is legendary but there\u2019s one sport in which South Africa is the undisputed World Champion \u2013 blade sheep shearing. Recently 400 competitors from 31 nations battled it out in the International Sheep Shearing Championships and once again, South Africa came out tops. It\u2019s a physically demanding sport but for titleholder Mayenzeke Shweni, sheep shearing is more than just a game.
