In a panic, the driver told officers a bizarre story that soon had them investigating a different case - an elaborate scheme involving murder and an insurance pay-out close to R2 million. A year before police caught him behind the wheel of the stolen car, Sibusiso Mahlangu had faked his own death in a tragic house fire. But the badly burnt body found in the rubble in fact belonged to Sibusiso Sithebe, the former lover of Mahlangu’s wife, Lerato. For a while, the couple got away undetected with Sithebe’s multi-million-rand life insurance cover... until the wheels came off their devious plan.

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

Sharp witted, talented and knowledgeable, Mots – as she’s affectionately known – has solidified her place among the giants of rugby commentary and analysis. But it wasn’t always this way: this award-winning sportscaster’s navigation of live TV’s often unnerving terrain has taken years. Now, broadcasting to local and international audiences, she’s considered one of the industry’s leading lights. And, as sports fans prepare for next month’s Rugby World Cup, Mots has emerged as a beacon of inspiration for anyone who dares to follow their dreams.

In March 2023, we investigated a Swedish businessman and self-styled philanthropist who’d made sweeping promises to an impoverished community in the Limpopo town of Alldays. We uncovered how he’d failed to keep those promises, failing the area’s children and becoming embroiled in a dispute in which the local municipality appeared reluctant to intervene. It was an outcome for which the children and their desperate carers were paying the ultimate price. But happily, things have changed as the businessman has fled the country, and the children in need were finally given access to this life-changing centre.
