On the small screen, sports broadcaster Motshidisi Mohono is a commanding figure. Sharp witted, talented and knowledgeable, Mots โ€“ as sheโ€™s affectionately known โ€“ has solidified her place among the giants of rugby commentary and analysis. But it wasnโ€™t always this way: this award-winning sportscasterโ€™s navigation of live TVโ€™s often unnerving terrain has taken years. Now, broadcasting to local and international audiences, sheโ€™s considered one of the industryโ€™s leading lights. And, as sports fans prepare for next monthโ€™s Rugby World Cup, Mots has emerged as a beacon of inspiration for anyone who dares to follow their dreams. In the Springboksโ€™ final home match before the tournament, Carte Blanche joined her pitchside.

Senzo Meyiwa: The first suspect

It has resonated across South Africa for years: the 2014 murder of Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa in his girlfriendโ€™s house in Vosloorus. This week, the pathologist who examined Meyiwaโ€™s lifeless body detailed the last moments of the popular soccer playerโ€™s life. But the shooting didnโ€™t just end Meyiwaโ€™s life: it forever changed the life of another young man from the community. Days after the brutal killing, police rounded up Zamo Mbatha, the first suspect in Meyiwaโ€™s murder. Mbatha was detained for two weeks before the court abruptly ordered his release; police did not have enough evidence to link him to the case. But it was too late for Mbatha. With many still believing that he was Meyiwaโ€™s killer, his life was altered. Ten years later, as five other men stand trial for Meyiwaโ€™s murder, Mbathaโ€™s multi-million rand lawsuit against the police has come to a standstill. Carte Blanche examines how his wrongful arrest as the first suspect shattered his world. Your favourite episodes are now available on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://linktr.ee/carteblanchetv

Horror in the inner city

Itโ€™s a Thursday morning in a hijacked building in Johannesburgโ€™s inner city. A fire breaks out on the first floor and soon sets the dilapidated building ablaze. Trapped inside, dozens of people โ€“ men, women, and children - are unable to escape the flames. In the street below, onlookers frantically call for help as people attempt to save themselves by jumping from upper-storey windows. Hours later, as rescue workers pull the dead from the debris, the scale of the disaster becomes clear. Blame is soon shifted to NGOs working in the inner city by officials denying any culpability in the tragedy. But few could argue the victims would not have suffered such excruciating deaths had the warning of at least the past two decades been heeded. The same NGOs as well as the media and several politicians had been warning of the dangers posed by Joโ€™burgโ€™s hijacked buildings. Yet the problem grew unchecked and now 77 people are dead.
