He dreams of becoming an international football star. But with scarce resources in this community, his future is bleak. This shouldn’t be the case. In 2010, South Africa hosted the FIFA Soccer World Cup. The reward for its success was a R450-million cash injection to form a Legacy Trust Fund to support and develop the game. The Legacy Trust should’ve become South Africa’s soccer heritage but, more than a decade later, it’s been milked dry, providing no benefit to players like Kutlwano.

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?

That was almost the case for a group of Carte Blanche viewers who had rolled up their sleeves to help disabled children at the state-run Ikwezi Lokusa Special School in the Eastern Cape. In September this year, our investigation exposed gross negligence and human rights violations at the boarding school, with vulnerable children left to fend for themselves. It was a story that moved many of our viewers into action, arranging trucks full of donations for the children. But when it was time to deliver, the volunteers were locked out of the school while the provincial Department of Education did nothing to intervene. But we could not let these children - who have been through so much - be deprived yet again. Your favourite episodes are now available on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://linktr.ee/carteblanchetv

With millions of chickens being culled, grocery stores are forced to ration meat and egg sales while the government imports eggs and meat to mitigate shortages over the festive season. But there is more than Christmas dinner at stake: some experts say the impact of the virus has been so devastating, it will take the industry 18 months to recover. And there’s a human face to the crisis, with thousands of jobs on the line, and some smaller independent suppliers facing financial ruin.
