Dewani Trial

Explosive revelations formed part of the first week of Shrien Dewani’s murder trial. It’s been four years since his wife Anni was shot and killed during an allegedly staged hijacking while on their Cape Town honeymoon. Carte Blanche reports on the trial that once again has the eyes of the world on the South African criminal justice system.

David O’Sullivan and Katy Katopodis will be joined in studio each week by legal experts, psychologists and social media pundits to analyse the latest developments of the Dewani trial.*

Perlemoen Poachers

Rogue Resellers

Fair deal or rip off? With more electricity price hikes on the horizon, many consumers are opting for pre-paid electricity. But for some, hopes of managing consumption and reducing energy expenses turn to rage as add-on costs mount. Carte Blanche investigates pre-paid costs and so-called ‘rogue resellers’.

Bone Marrow

Finding a bone marrow stem cell donor match could mean the difference between life and death for people with leukaemia. But with only 67 000 donors on the South African Bone Marrow Registry the chances of finding a match are slim. Carte Blanche reports on lives saved and hopes not yet realised.
