Carte Blanche reports from the United Kingdom where an entire crop has been produced without any human intervention in the field and with robots and autonomous vehicles doing all the work.<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Eugene Botha<br \/>\nPresenter: John Webb<\/p>\n<h3>One-on-one with President Emmerson Mnangagwa<\/h3>\n<p>Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa, the man who rose to power in a military coup, is in the hot seat. Free and fair elections could restore the political legitimacy of a government still isolated by the international community and suffering under the yoke of sanctions. Ahead of a much contested general election at the end of this month, Carte Blanche follows Mnangagwa on his campaign trail to Chinoyi, northern Zimbabwe, where he\u2019s made bold promises to rebuild his country.<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Kate Barry<br \/>\nPresenter: Devi Sankaree Govender<br \/>\nResearcher: Siniketiwe Hlanze<\/p>\n<h3>Sextortion<\/h3>\n<p>What\u2019s a sexy nude photo between new friends? Well, sending explicit images of yourself to a stranger could cost you thousands of rands and serious reputational damage. Sextortion is the latest method that cunning criminals posing as potential intimate suitors use to extract money from hapless victims. It\u2019s a form of blackmail in which sexual information or images willingly shared by the victim are used to extort money from them. \u00a0Across South Africa, the numbers of incidents of sextortion have increased exponentially.\u00a0Carte Blanche investigates.<\/p>\n<p>Producer: Sophia Phirippides<br \/>\nPresenter: Devi Sankaree Govender<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/m-net.dstv.com\/show\/carte-blanche\/videos\/carte-blanche-coming-up-sextortion\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the trailer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Line-ups are subject to change.
