I brought chocolate... – Legacy

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝟰 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯. Johann Keeve is a young man with big dreams. He should’ve been a fourth-generation commercial farmer, ploughing his family’s lands. Instead, his father’s legacy has been destroyed by what farmers describe as ruthless liquidators pursuing aggressive legal action in the name of the Land Bank. Years ago, the bank gave millions to various cooperatives to lend to the agricultural community. It’s alleged some cooperatives acted recklessly, lending money to farmers without following proper processes. Now, the Land Bank wants its money back. And, despite some financially strained farmers having assets worth far more than their debts, they have still lost much of what they owned. Could corporate syndicates be manipulating the liquidation process in a bid to enrich themselves?

Shortly after outgoing Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter’s explosive interview on eNCA, reports emerged of a secret intelligence dossier on which many of his damning corruption claims were based. It alleges the criminality, that has largely brought the utility to its knees, is controlled by four powerful cartels and that at least two high-ranking members of the Cabinet are involved. If true, the report is proof of corruption on an unprecedented scale that has plunged the country into darkness and threatens the unravelling of the political establishment. But why have none of those exposed in the dossier been named, let alone arrested? Carte Blanche investigates.

A young Jewish activist, she’d already lost almost every member of her family to Adolf Hitler’s regime. Like millions of others, she and her niece had been rounded up by the Nazis and sent to concentration camps. They endured the horror of three of the camps – including the notorious Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp - and, for two long years, they were subjected to starvation, torture, and humiliation. But they both survived. Now, at 101, Ella is the oldest living survivor of the Holocaust in South Africa, and is subject of a documentary called I Am Here. Retracing her remarkable will to survive and thrive, it’s a celebration of a vivacious, outspoken and unique personality with a flair for fashion. Carte Blanche meets this extraordinary woman.
