It’s the biggest mystery currently facing officials in Durban – ten explosive devices have been found in a number of popular shopping malls around the city.

Sweet Deception

Consumers who choose to pay a premium for honey, seen as a healthier sugar substitute with natural antioxidants, enzymes and amino acids, are in for a rude awakening. Carte Blanche investigates the largescale adulteration of honey and finds out how to check if you are buying pure honey or a version with sugar syrups added. And, as honey adulteration proliferates, we ask why is there a complete lack of food quality enforcement from the government agency meant to police our honey.
