Valkenberg Murder Mystery
What happened in the final days and hours of Martin Kennedy’s life? A fit and physically strong young man, Kennedy suffered a psychiatric breakdown and was admitted to a specialised psychiatric hospital in Cape Town. Within weeks of his hospitalisation, Kennedy was dead – allegedly at the hands of a fellow patient. But why has the family been closed out of the ongoing investigation? (Producer: Liz Fish | Presenter: Masa Kekana)
Presenter Masa Kekana says: “When you send your loved one to a psychiatric hospital for much-needed help, you do so out of love and deep concern. The last thing you would expect is that your vulnerable loved one could be harmed – or worse, murdered…”

TASTE SENSATION
Simply Ginius!
Versatile, affordable and available in a dazzling array of gemlike colours, gin tops the growing craft spirits movement as the new “it” drink. Increasingly, brands are slugging it out to make it big in an influencer-driven industry. And they don’t come much bigger than elephants and their equally impressive dung. Carte Blanche joins the forage for the unconventional main ingredient in a proudly South African export product. (Producer: Ntokozo Sindane | Presenter: Claire Mawisa)
