Living with a diagnosis on the autism spectrum comes with gifts and trials that the world is fast learning to appreciate as neurodiversity becomes better understood across the globe. For South Africans on the spectrum, detection and management have lagged and children most often struggle with limitations in the support they need to thrive. Carte Blanche follows the path of 19-year-old Dylan Kritzinger from primary school to matric – a young man who loves drama and animals and is set on becoming a game ranger.

In the Cape Peninsula and Boland, poachers are targeting small wild animals, killing them for the pot or for use in traditional medicine. Carte Blanche investigates rising tensions between poachers, conservationists, and nature-loving residents in post-pandemic Cape Town as we set out with rangers. Scattered across SANParks Table Mountain National Park, we uncover these rudimentary devices, shaped into loops, that have proliferated in recent years. Small animals like mongoose, guinea fowl, Cape grysbok, and caracal come forage surprisingly close to suburban Cape Town, bringing poaching that much closer to home. We speak to various role players about this polarising and illegal practice. Your favourite episodes are now available on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://bit.ly/PodcastCB
