Coming up on Carte Blanche this Sunday (5 May):

Elephant Apology

The footage of an elephant “care” taker hitting his charge in the face with a stick caused an outcry against Brian Boswell's Circus, which uses live animals in its acts.

Now the carer, who’s been suspended, says he’s sorry and that his behaviour was out of order, while circus owner Brian Boswell says he’s sent the elephants away on a holiday. Carte Blanche reports back.

Producer: Linda de Jager
Presenter: Devi Sankaree Govender
Journalist: Sasha Schwendenwein

Protection of State info

After five years of debate and redrafting, the Protection of State Information Bill has been enacted. With 800 amendments, is it fair to liken it to Apartheid-era security legislation - and will it withstand scrutiny under our democratic constitution? Carte Blanche asks some experts.

Producer: Este de Klerk
Presenter: Bongani Bingwa
Journalist: Chwayitisa Futshane

Thandora’s Lucky Day

Our story on elephants in the circus once again raised the issue of the treatment of captive animals. But here’s one about a cull orphan that was given its freedom after 24 years in the Bloemfontein Zoo. Carte Blanche reports on a first for Africa.

Producer: Linda de Jager

Malaria

A super species of malaria mosquito with unusual habits is buzzing around Kenya. Will the new advances made by South African scientists be able to bite back? Carte Blanche finds out if this mozzie is cleverer than us.

Producer: Neil Shaw
Presenter: Neo Motaung

Celiwe and Pippie

Each year in South Africa, thousands of children are burnt because of the careless use of candles, paraffin stoves and open fires. Pippie Kruger was born to parents with the will and the means to save her life when she sustained 80 percent burns to her little body.

Now the Kruger’s efforts to bring miracle skin cloning technology to South Africa has also made a difference to five-year-old Celiwe Maseko. Carte Blanche was there when the bandages came off.

Producer: Amalia Christoforou
Presenter: Chantal Rutter-Dros



Carte Blanche is on M-Net on Sundays at 19h00.
