Gentrifying the inner city?<\/h3>\n

Fattis Mansions once stood as one of the grandest apartment blocks in downtown Johannesburg, but with broken windows, no electricity and years of neglect, the building is in a severe state of decay.\u00a0 Despite this, hundreds of people still called it home. Then in July this year, the Red Ants moved in, evicting residents and dumping all their belongings onto the streets. Developers say they want to return the apartment block to its former glory, but some residents claim they own the flats they lived in. Gentrifying the inner city, or an attack on the poor?\u00a0Carte Blanche investigates.<\/p>\n

Coal Wars<\/h3>\n

Desperate to maintain the value of their properties and their health, the people of Ogies on the Mpumalanga Highveld are taking on coal mines in a massive legal battle. Carte Blanche meets residents of the coal belt who claim government continues to issue mining licenses while their homes are being damaged through encroaching blasting and clouds of coal dust are causing serious respiratory illnesses.<\/p>\n

Declining Adoption Numbers<\/h3>\n

In recent years, the rate of child adoptions in South Africa has declined substantially. Now the Department of Social Development in KZN is accused of deliberately slowing down the adoption process in the province, leaving hundreds of children stuck in places of safety without the hope of finding loving families.\u00a0Carte Blanche explores a system in crisis.<\/p>\n

Sardine Run<\/h3>\n

The sardine shoal migrating along the KZN coast was once described as the greatest on earth, resulting in the legendary annual sardine run. But stocks have drastically plummeted and over the past two years, fishermen have netted almost nothing. Carte Blanche asks: what\u2019s happened to our sardines?<\/p>\n
