In January this year, we reported on the sinister criminal network that had taken root at Fort Hare University in the Eastern Cape. Our story exposed the extent of the rot, including how those standing up to extensive corruption within the institution were being intimidated and even killed.

Edward van den Berg is a self-appointed visionary. After receiving a “commission from God", he established the Immanuel Theology Institute International. Inspired by the parable of Moses, and offering certificates, diplomas and degrees, the so-called Doctor, Professor, Chancellor and Archbishop of his own multicampus online university insists he’s leading his followers to the Promised Land. Trouble is, his institution isn’t government accredited. So the self-proclaimed disciple of the “Most High” established his own accreditation bodies to certify his courses. Carte Blanche investigates the “General” of God’s bogus university. Your favourite episodes are now available on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://bit.ly/PodcastCB

Despite the hour in this usually quiet neighbourhood, a man casually emerges from the darkness, peaks over a high wall and fires three bullets. The target? The home of Fort Hare’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Sakhele Buhlungu. It’s an unnerving pretext to a murder just weeks later: the victim another senior official at the university. But the reign of terror doesn’t end there. In January this year, Professor Buhlungu's bodyguard is gunned down in an official vehicle outside the VC’s home. Carte Blanche investigates a university, uncovering decades long fraud and corruption in the process.

Are consumers really confused about the names given to plant-based meat alternatives? Just as the South African market is starting to embrace the idea of eating less meat – whether to spare the environment, their bodies, or pockets – meat analogues that take the shape and flavour of meat but are made from plant-based proteins have attracted the attention of the Department of Agriculture. Its plan? To outlaw the labelling of items as sausages or patties if they don’t contain any meat. Carte Blanche investigates the devastating downstream consequences of this move on the meat analogue industry. Find more exclusive content on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://bit.ly/PodcastCB
