Making lemonade with Sho Madjozi

Young people are dropping out of school at alarming rates, simply to join the ranks of the unemployed and unemployable. It’s a situation exacerbated by COVID-19, with closed schools leading to an alarming increase in the dropout rate. Government says parents are partly to blame, but at a time support was needed most, some pupils feel let down by the Basic Education Department and their teachers.

But for 14-month-old Gracey Green from Atlantis in the Cape, the challenge is a far more difficult one: people of colour are heavily under-represented on the registry, making it difficult to match donors. Diagnosed with a rare blood cancer, Gracey’s hope lies in a viable bone marrow transplant. Carte Blanche joins the hunt as the Registry goes all out to find Gracey a match.
