From Gauteng to the Western Cape, land grabs have become part and parcel of South African life, threatening to leave once peaceful communities divided. While tensions flare up in Lenasia South between residents and alleged land invaders, Carte Blanche takes a look tonight at a divided community torn apart by fear and suspicion.

As the shacks proliferate, Carte Blanche analyses the tense standoff between the homeless and suburban residents.
