Table Mountain Knife Attacks
Last week yet another hiker was robbed, stabbed and killed in the Table Mountain reserve, while recently a group of 9 hikers were mugged at knifepoint. Regular visitors are up in arms, saying their security and that of tourists should be ensured. Carte Blanche asks: why has very little been done about the safety of visitors at one of Cape Town’s prime tourist attractions? (Producer: Annalise Lubbe Presenter: Claire Mawisa)

Bubble Boy
Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) is an illness as scary as it sounds: affected children are born without a functioning immune system, vulnerable to the most common of infections. Ayaan Isaacs has SCID, curable only by bone marrow transplant, but when the search for a donor was only partially successful, his mother Shamaa Sheik turned to an international clinical trial offering ground-breaking gene therapy. Carte Blanche meets South Africa’s very own ‘bubble boy’. (Producer: Laura Byrne Presenter: John Webb)

As company shares plummeted, Jooste went into hiding. Carte Blanche tracks down the man at the centre of the Steinhoff turmoil. (Producer: Mart-Marie Faure Presenter: John Webb)

Carte Blanche catches up with Lady Julia who relives her remarkable experiences from facing sandstorms in Sudan to spending Christmas in the Nubian desert.(Producer: Diana Lucas Presenter: Derek Watts)
