< INVESTIGATIVE ><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Construction Mafia<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re known as the Construction Mafia \u2013 community groups who demand a cut in building projects around the country, sometimes even resorting to violence and intimidation to get their way. From some form of employment, sub-contracting to their small businesses or in some cases straight up cash \u2013 they say they\u2019ll continue to hold construction sites to ransom until they receive their share. Carte Blanche investigates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

< MONEY MATTERS ><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming Budget: Difficult Decisions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Amid another looming downgrade, with spiralling debt, weak growth and a slow pace of reform, last year\u2019s medium-term budget gave a clear roadmap of what the government needed to do. Finance Minister Tito Mboweni said reversing the trends required urgent action, but can he make the difficult decisions needed to save the economy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Absolute Right to Inherit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Private wills are untouchable \u2013 as long as you are not financially responsible for minor children, you can pass on your assets or disinherit whomever you choose. But what if discrimination on grounds of being female, or adopted, excludes children in a family from what they believe should be theirs? In a legal first, the Constitutional Court is considering whether all children in a family have an equal right to inherit in a constitutional dispensation that promotes equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

< WILDLIFE HEROES ><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derek Watts: \u201cWhen you look at the challenges facing the world and this country, one elephant may not seem to be all that much. But this little albino elephant called Khanyisa is a story of true survival and fighting against the odds, showing that cruelty doesn\u2019t always win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khanyisa \u2013 The Albino Elephant<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Trapped in a snare for several days without food or water and seriously injured, Khanyisa \u2013 a rare albino elephant calf didn\u2019t stand a chance. At just six months old, her herd eventually abandoned her, leaving her to battle the elements alone. Now with a little help from some friends, she\u2019s on the road to recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
