On Carte Blanche this Sunday, 16 May 2010:

President Zuma

This week marked one year since Jacob Zuma became South Africa’s President. It also saw the opposition accuse the ruling party of “sacrificing democratic principles on the altar of egoism” for only mildly sanctioning ANC youth leader Julius Malema for his utterances and outbursts.

Carte Blanche reflects on challenges and controversies confronted by our leader over the past year.

Presenter: Derek Watts
Producer: Kim Cloete
Journalist: Xoli Matomela

E. coli

Three ministers were charged by agricultural unions this week for failing to protect South African rivers from continuous pollution. And a high-ranking Water Affairs official admitted to Parliament that government has for years failed to prevent municipal sewage works from discharging human waste into our waterways.

Carte Blanche sniffs out some seriously high E. coli levels in rivers and asks if we’re in the poo.

Presenter: Bongani Bingwa
Producer: Liz Fish

Monkey Town III

Apes in captivity need specialist care for emotional and intellectual well-being. That’s a fact. But at Monkey Town in Somerset West chimpanzees were sometimes chased about with a weed-eater and deprived of stimulation while the baboons - in their struggle for dominance - killed members of their pack.

Now there’s a new broom at this private zoo in the Western Cape and Carte Blanche paid a return visit.

Presenter: Annika Larsen
Producer: Hein Ungerer

John Cleese

“He who laughs most, learns best”. The words of John Cleese, whom most remember as Basil Fawlty, the dysfunctional owner of an English seaside hotel.

From Monty Python to A Fish Called Wanda, he’s evoked laughter the world over. He was recently in South Africa, to shoot Spud, the movie. Carte Blanche caught up with him on location in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.

Presenter: Derek Watts
Producer: Nguni Productions



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