Later, spam calls be gone! And how well do you know your national symbols? But first: it’s been called one of the biggest, most dramatic political comebacks in recent history. As Donald Trump wins a second term in the Oval Office, his election victory reveals a lot about the American voter. With just over half of the US population saying “Yes, we want more of Trump”, his presidency is sure to deliver a fair amount of chaos.

Later, the US elections are here and it could be an uncomfortably close race. And a win for families as Tiger Brands offers to pay up.

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Another tender, another scandal. But it might not be too late. Then, it’s back to school for ANC members. We ask: what’s the point? Later, the US elections are here and it could be an uncomfortably close race. And a win for families as Tiger Brands offers to pay up. But first: this past week’s mini-budget was hardly one for the history books. With a strong emphasis on early retirement and public-private partnerships when it comes to infrastructure projects, we unpack some of the key points.]]></itunes:summary>

		<description><![CDATA[All for show… Why this year’s BRICS Summit felt rather pointless. Later, why hundreds of medical professionals are fleeing to Canada. Then, society is seemingly calling it quits on news. Why that’s a problem. And how one women’s vision reshaped the mental health conversation in South Africa. But first, another girl found dead at the hands of a depraved man. The country recoiled in horror as 6-year-old Amantle Samane was raped and murdered in Orlando East in Soweto last week. She becomes yet another young life lost in the most brutal way imaginable. With a man in custody, and court proceedings expected to continue this coming Friday, young Amantle’s murder comes as the country grapples with two more court cases involving child trafficking and murder. We look at how these handful of cases serve as a reflection on our very broken society. <a href="https://www.dstv.com/m-net/en-za/show/carte-blanche">Carte Blanche Website</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on X</a> &middot; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on Facebook</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[South Africa officially enters a new political era. So, now what? Then, the IEC takes a battering as voters and some political parties say: we expected better. Later, we ask: what more needs to happen before the humanitarian crisis in Gaza gets the urgent attention it deserves? And a new medical trial could change the way we handle everything from dentistry to bone diseases. But first, it’s the big C-word many of us have been anticipating. As the IEC declares this year’s election results, coalition negotiations are already in high gear. And with Jacob Zuma’s MK Party kicking dust in the faces of many major political parties, the intricate coalition game is sure to deliver a few more surprises. <a href="https://www.dstv.com/m-net/en-za/show/carte-blanche">Carte Blanche Website</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on X</a> &middot; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on Facebook</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[South Africa's education landscape faces a sobering reality. Alongside issues like bullying, substance abuse and vandalism, rampant sexual abuse and grooming add to the burden experienced by many schoolchildren. Many cases go unreported, but the statistics paint a clear picture of a trend that demands urgent attention. Having recently launched on Mnet Channel 101, a four-part documentary series called School Ties takes a sobering look at a culture of grooming and sexual abuse within some of the country's most elite private schools. We're joined by series producer Richard Gregory to find out more about Operation Nemo, a specialized police investigation into sports coaches targeting vulnerable students, and why school ties should serve as a wake-up call for parents and educators alike. <a href="https://www.dstv.com/m-net/en-za/show/carte-blanche">Carte Blanche Website</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on X</a> &middot; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on Facebook</a>]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1404575</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the years, Carte Blanche has done several investigations into alleged child sexual abuse at various elite boys’ schools across the country. Our focus was primarily on several sports coaches who are either currently facing allegations of child grooming and sexual assault, or have been prosecuted. One thing that was seen in all our investigations was the culture of secrecy that so often prevents victims from speaking out against their abuser. Masa Kekana sits down with Luke Lamprecth from Women and Men Against Child Abuse to gain more insight into why paedophiles often choose aquatic sports to gain access to their young victims, what schools can do to ensure career paedophiles aren’t able to move from one school to the next, and why parents should also guard themselves from being groomed. <a href="https://www.dstv.com/m-net/en-za/show/carte-blanche">Carte Blanche Website</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on X</a> &middot; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on Facebook</a>]]></description>

One thing that was seen in all our investigations was the culture of secrecy that so often prevents victims from speaking out against their abuser. Masa Kekana sits down with Luke Lamprecth from Women and Men Against Child Abuse to gain more insight into why paedophiles often choose aquatic sports to gain access to their young victims, what schools can do to ensure career paedophiles aren’t able to move from one school to the next, and why parents should also guard themselves from being groomed.]]></itunes:summary>

But with a potentially life-altering election looming, this might be the most important SONA in years… No spark was found, but a recent lacklustre report on the 2021 July riots certainly sparked controversy.

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since another taxi strike erupted on the streets of Cape Town in August, negotiations between City of Cape Town officials and taxi industry representative body, SANTACO, have been ongoing. Insiders say discussions have been fraught as both sides thrash out the finer points of an agreement that would not only protect commuters, but ensure there’s a mutual understanding between officials, taxi drivers and operators. We caught up with conflict resolution specialist, Andre Vlok, to find out where previous negotiations most likely fell apart, and get his views on possible long-term solutions. <a href="https://www.dstv.com/m-net/en-za/show/carte-blanche">Carte Blanche Website</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on X</a> &middot; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on Facebook</a>]]></description>

		<title>UPDATE: A Hard-Knock Life</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1357259</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1357259</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In March 2023, we investigated a Swedish businessman and self-styled philanthropist who’d made sweeping promises to an impoverished community in the Limpopo town of Alldays. We uncovered how he’d failed to keep those promises, failing the area’s children and becoming embroiled in a dispute in which the local municipality appeared reluctant to intervene. It was an outcome for which the children and their desperate carers were paying the ultimate price. But happily, things have changed as the businessman has fled the country, and the children in need were finally given access to this life-changing centre. <a href="https://www.dstv.com/m-net/en-za/show/carte-blanche">Carte Blanche Website</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on X</a> &middot; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on Facebook</a>]]></description>

		<itunes:summary><![CDATA[In March 2023, we investigated a Swedish businessman and self-styled philanthropist who’d made sweeping promises to an impoverished community in the Limpopo town of Alldays. We uncovered how he’d failed to keep those promises, failing the area’s children and becoming embroiled in a dispute in which the local municipality appeared reluctant to intervene. It was an outcome for which the children and their desperate carers were paying the ultimate price. But happily, things have changed as the businessman has fled the country, and the children in need were finally given access to this life-changing centre.]]></itunes:summary>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1354324</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Years of tension between the City of Cape Town and the taxi industry came to a head this week as wanton violence spilled onto the city’s highways and streets, unwitting commuters and other civilians caught in the middle. On Thursday last week, taxi bosses unexpectedly suspended their services to embark on a week-long stay-away that left thousands of desperate commuters stranded. Many of them, including school children, attempted the long treacherous journeys home on foot. Violence soon followed as buses and other vehicles were burnt and stoned, and troublemakers sowed chaos on commuter transport routes by intimidating workers trying to get to and from work. At the centre of the stand-off was a demand that impounded taxis be released, something the City’s authorities refused to consider. By Thursday evening, and after several rounds of tense negotiations, the taxi industry finally gave in. <a href="https://www.dstv.com/m-net/en-za/show/carte-blanche">Carte Blanche Website</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on X</a> &middot; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on Facebook</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1345661</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1345661</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[In May this year, a body was found on a beach in Macassar in the Western Cape. The victim, a young woman, had been brutally raped and murdered before being dumped in the sand. There were no witnesses, and over the next few days, three more bodies were discovered in this small community. But it wasn’t always like this: elderly residents who have lived in the once-peaceful fishing village their whole lives recall happier times. But in the past decade, conditions have deteriorated so dramatically that Macassar is no longer safe, with gangs from inside and outside the area roaming the streets. With the police apparently powerless to help, Macassar is under siege. <a href="https://www.dstv.com/m-net/en-za/show/carte-blanche">Carte Blanche Website</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on X</a> &middot; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on Facebook</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the running calendar, the Comrades Marathon is the toughest race on earth. Local and international competitors train for months, sometimes even years, for the opportunity to complete the brutal 89 km run. For the last-place finishers, the medal is priceless: confirmation that they’ve completed the race before the 12-hour cut-off time. But this year, something went horribly wrong and hundreds of runners were cut off “too soon”. In fact, there were hardly any runners near the finish line when the gun went off at the 12-hour mark, leaving the field uncharacteristically empty. With runners crying foul, claiming they’ve been unfairly deprived of their hard-earned medals, what went wrong? <a href="https://www.dstv.com/m-net/en-za/show/carte-blanche">Carte Blanche Website</a> &middot; <a href="https://twitter.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on X</a> &middot; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/carteblanchetv">Chat on Facebook</a>]]></description>
