From Table Mountain to public hospitals, in this week\u2019s episode of Carte Blanche, the team examines personal safety and questions whether the State should limit a citizen\u2019s right to own firearms.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masa Kekana: \u201cImagine nurses with their hands full at an under-resourced state health facility trying to save the life of a patient that was stabbed in a brawl. Then suddenly, thugs walk in to \u201cfinish off\u201d the patient and stab anyone in their way, including nurses and patients. This actually happened! How are healthcare workers expected to save lives and protect their own safety as well as that of their patients?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REALITY CHECK > INVESTIGATIVE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety in Public Hospitals<\/strong>
A knife, a pair of scissors and a few metal objects that could easily be used as weapons \u2013 in an extensive investigation covering some of Gauteng\u2019s state-run hospitals and clinics, Carte Blanche goes inside these facilities to put their security measures to the test. With violent incidents of shootings and stabbings happening inside public health facilities, we investigate why it\u2019s seemingly become so easy to breach hospital security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cycling on Table Mountain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was supposed to be pro cyclist Nic Dlamini\u2019s year, as he worked to represent South Africa at the Olympics, has become a tough journey back to health as he nurses a broken arm, sustained in December when park rangers on Table Mountain assaulted him over his permit to ride. Carte Blanche asks how the country\u2019s reputation can be restored in the face of ongoing complaints against park rangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disarming Citizens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police Minister Bheki Cele ideally wants South Africans not to own firearms. In a country rated as one of the most violent in the world; where crime and murder rates sometimes outstrip some war zones and where the safety of citizens is often in their own hands, Carte Blanche asks how it would impact the pervasive climate of crime in the country.

SPORT > INVESTIGATIVE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wilting Proteas<\/strong>
The Proteas are a national treasure, but with a number of disastrous defeats on the pitch; major internal disputes in the boardroom and serious allegations of mismanagement and bad governance, Cricket South Africa is in a tailspin. Could the appointment of a new interim CEO and Director of Cricket finally put an end to the team\u2019s decline? Carte Blanche sits down with the new appointees, who are now squarely in the firing line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
