Coming up on Carte Blanche this Sunday 9 February 2025:

DRC: A Time of Trouble
 

A diplomatic spat between President Cyril Ramaphosa and Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame has set tongues wagging.

At the centre of their dispute are the deaths of over a dozen SANDF soldiers during a military takeover of the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s key city, Goma.

The M23 rebel group, allegedly backed by Rwanda, took control of the city in an escalation of the decades-long conflict that has left hundreds of people dead or displaced.

This week, Kagame denied any knowledge of his troops being active in the DRC, while vowing that Rwanda would continue to protect its own interests. Amid veiled threats, relations between South Africa and Rwanda remain tense.

Now, as South Africa awaits the repatriation of its deceased and injured soldiers, Carte Blanche asks what the future holds for our influence in the region and whether it’s time for all the soldiers still deployed in the DRC to return home. 

Producer: Hamilton Wende
Presenter: Govan Whittles



 

A Passion for Cricket
 

Imagine a cricket tournament that’s not just about the game. It’s a celebration and showcase of some of South Africa’s upcoming talent. This is SA20, our country’s top T20 cricket league.

But it’s more than big hits and fireworks. It’s about people and their stories. Friends and teammates Codi Yusuf and Nqaba Peter talk about how their lives have changed, and former Proteas captain Graeme Smith reveals why the tournament’s success is no coincidence.

From the fans to the players, we share stories from inside the SA20 tournament.

Producer: Floris Kotze
Presenter: Govan Whittles 
 


Chaos on the Border
 

It happens without warning: Hundreds of cattle and sheep are driven out of farms in the dead of night by stock thieves operating along our border with Lesotho.

The stolen livestock is moved quickly, leaving farmers helpless to act. Across the Telle River, dozens of undocumented foreign nationals try to cross into South Africa, their washed-up bodies often the only evidence of their failed attempts.

Others smuggle high-value stolen vehicles into Lesotho to be sold on the black market.

Carte Blanche investigates how lax border control in the Free State and Eastern Cape is fuelling criminality along the frontier with Lesotho.

Producer: Sinethemba Nogude
Presenter: Masa Kekana 
 


Premiere episodes of Carte Blanche air on M-Net on Sundays at 19h00.
