But this year also saw some real overnight social media superstars. From Pretoria's so-called Cabbage Bandit, to the tough-guy CIT driver whose dashcam video clip caused a sensation, to Sandiswa Kula's birding photos wrapped in charming village stories from the rural Eastern Cape. Carte Blanche celebrates the everyday heroes who unintentionally brought back the spirit of ubuntu.

A mega tailings dam built near the Vaal River in a bid to clean up a century of residual pollutants from mine workings in the North West sounded good on paper. But why were critical parts of the plan, including the extraction of toxic substances like radioactive uranium and sulphuric acid not fulfilled? Carte Blanche takes to the air to examine the potential for the dam’s walls to be breached, and the impact of that on nearby farmland, the critical Vaal River, and the millions of people relying on it for fresh water.

A thorn in the side of organised crime, and a spear in the fight for justice: that’s how colleagues describe Lieutenant-Colonel Charl Kinnear, a highly decorated detective. His investigations disrupted the complex patterns of gang warfare and police complicity on the Cape Flats in the Western Cape. It was a dangerous job at the best of times, and Kinnear should’ve enjoyed the support of his commanding officers. But according to an explosive new report, he was abandoned by his police bosses at the height of his investigations. Kinnear paid the ultimate price. After being tracked for weeks, he was gunned down on his doorstep. Now his wife, Nicolette, is demanding justice for her husband’s murder.
