Illegal Roadblocks<\/h3>\n

In the aftermath of the alleged murder of a young man at the hands of the Johannesburg Metro Police, Carte Blanche examines the legality of some roadblocks, unsupervised roadside stops and the power of the police to stop and detain motorists. As thousands of drivers claim unlawful abuse by officials soliciting bribes, are roadblocks a crime prevention measure or just another way to extort money from fearful motorists?<\/p>\n

Kynsna Animals<\/h3>\n

In the rush to escape the Kynsna fires, many people left their pets behind.\u00a0 But despite the dangers, fire fighters still fought to rescue the terrified animals.\u00a0 Now forensic investigators have concluded that the devastating fires were caused by human negligence which also resulted in the decimation of wildlife, livestock grazing pastures and added trauma for pet owners. How did animal welfare organizations cope with the influx of injured animals?<\/p>\n

Down The Drain<\/h3>\n

Corruption, wastage and mismanagement at State-owned enterprises and in government departments \u2013 that\u2019s the recipe costing South African taxpayers billions of rands every year.\u00a0 But how much is really going down the drain? Carte Blanche tallies up the costs and the massive losses to State coffers.<\/p>\n

The Threat to Great White Sharks<\/h3>\n

Shark cage diving is a multi-million rand industry, bringing international tourists to the shores of Gansbaai, but for months, not a single Great White Shark could be spotted. Instead, the carcasses of four Great Whites washed ashore. Tourism waned and businesses battled to survive. \u00a0Why did the sharks disappear? Carte Blanche investigates.<\/p>\n
