Pakistani Mafia In SA
It’s the stuff of movies - cross-border abductions, extortion, kidnapping and murder. Except it’s not happening in Hollywood, but right here on the Free State border with Lesotho. Carte Blanche takes you into the heart of the mafia-type syndicates terrorising Pakistani nationals living in South Africa.

Charmaine Phillips
Charmaine Phillips captured the imagination of South Africans in the early eighties as a fresh faced girl with, it seemed, a heart of stone. At the age of just 21, she was convicted of murder - not once - but four times. Now, more than two decades on, she’s done her time, but hasn’t forgotten her years behind bars. A Carte Blanche insider tells us about Charmaine’s life on the outside.

Full Catastrophe Living
Meditation is nothing new and yogis have been claiming the benefits for hundreds of years. But the effects of this ancient practice on health and well-being have always been a belief rather than proven theory. But now clinical trials on “mindfulness” patients are showing startling scientific results. Can mindful meditation be the key to chronic pain and depression? Carte Blanche finds out.
