Carte Blanche this Sunday (17 November):
Adoption ObstaclesThere are two million children in South Africa who would benefit from adoption – but incredibly, only 500 of them are on the official list. Carte Blanche speaks to desperate wannabe parents, among them a South African couple living in France, who are being bludgeoned by officialdom.

The Body Count Is the Eastern European mafia in Johannesburg out of control? What are authorities doing to stem a tide of violence that this week saw more deaths after a bomb blast at the offices of Czech fugitive Radovan Krejcir?
According to the Hawks, interviewed by Carte Blanche, Krejcir is “an entrepreneur”. But underworld sources and private eyes have an entirely different view.
Producer: Bernadette Maguire
