You're reading it here first. A quick programming note is that M-Net's investigative magazine TV show Carte Blanche is planning a hard-hitting story for tomorrow evening at 19:00 on Joost van der Westhuizen.
After Wednesday night's first live and exclusive interview on Kwêla, Thursday's soft ball pre-taped interview with the magazine show All Access on M-Net and the weekend's scandalous admission after months that it really was him (to co-incide with the launch of his book this past Monday and the Afrikaans version hitting the streets this coming Monday), Carte Blanche is looking at HOW REAL Joost van der Westhuizen's plea for forgiveness all really is.
Carte Blanche first interviewed Joost van der Westhuizen in 1998, at the peak of his career. ''More than a decade on, his off-field antics have taken him from hero to zero,'' Carte Blanche tell me for the insert that presenter Devi Sankaree Govender and award winning producer Susan Puren has been working on this week. ''He's now trying to gain credibility in his autobiography which sold out in a day. BUT JUST HOW CREDIBLE IS IT - AND WILL IT SAVE HIS MARRIAGE?''
