Their preservation order freezes R1.6 billion, but that is just the beginning, says the NPA. They hope to recover another R50- billion.\u00a0In an exclusive interview, Carte Blanche sits down with Suzanne Daniels, the Eskom executive, who was the first to recommend these companies pay back the money, but was suspended shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Joy Summers<br \/>\nPresenter: Devi Sankaree Govender<br \/>\nResearcher: Tony Beamish<\/p>\n<h3>Young Heroes<\/h3>\n<p>At just 12 years old, their selfless efforts to assist victims of the Kroonstad train crash have earned them the admiration of the entire nation. After witnessing the incident, the two boys fearlessly rushed to the scene to help the injured, pulling babies and the elderly from the train. Carte Blanche meets young South African heroes Evert du Preez and Mokoni Chaka.<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Mart-Marie Faure<br \/>\nPresenter: Macfarlane Moleli<\/p>\n<h3>DA Future<\/h3>\n<p>As the governing party, the ANC is experiencing resurgence under the new leadership of Cyril Ramaphosa, trouble is brewing in the opposition camps of the Democratic Alliance. From Cape Town, to Port Elizabeth, to Johannesburg, major internal power struggles plague the DA.\u00a0 Can the official opposition survive the political fallout in the Western Cape and its key metropoles throughout the country?\u00a0 Carte Blanche analyses a party, seemingly in disarray.<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Liz Fish<br \/>\nPresenter: John Webb<\/p>\n<h3>Highway Rock Throwing<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s a deadly practice, often with fatal consequences. Gauteng and KZN have seen a renewed spate of rock throwing from highway bridges, causing serious damage to vehicles, claiming lives and injuring several motorists. But are these just reckless pranks or part of a devious plan to rob injured motorists of their valuables?<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Nicky Troll<br \/>\nPresenter: Claire Mawisa<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/carteblanche.dstv.com\/coming-rock-throwing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the trailer<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Telemarketing: Your Rights<\/h3>\n<p>We all loath those persistent telemarketing calls offering anything form insurance policies to cellphone contracts. Locally, it\u2019s big business and when it comes to marketing phone calls, South Africa now ranks among the top 5 most spammed countries in the world. But is it legal to offer unsolicited credit or to keep your private contact\u00a0details on a database after you\u2019ve asked for it to be removed? Carte Blanche finds out what your rights are as a consumer.<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Sophia Phirippides<br \/>\nPresenter: Macfarlane Moleli<\/p>\n<h3>Mugabe Boys<\/h3>\n<p>Pouring expensive champagne over a luxury watch to prove it&#8217;s real is the kind of excessive behaviour that enraged Zimbabweans, but it\u2019s also how Robert Mugabe\u2019s sons, earned themselves an international reputation for party excess and big spending.\u00a0 After years of splurging on lavish hotel rooms and designer clothes in South Africa, will Mugabe&#8217;s fall from power put an end to his sons&#8217; jet-setting lifestyles?<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Journeyman Pictures<\/p>\n<p>Line-ups are subject to change.
