Carte Blanche, M-Net's weekly investigative magazine show on Sundays at 19:00 will be coming to viewers this evening from a brand-new location: the 20th floor of the World Trade Centre in Morningside (possibly still the highest building in Africa?).
Carte Blanche this evening on M-Net will be looking at Lesotho Horse Pounds with Chantal Rutter Dros and Julie Lauranz as producer. Farmers describe the situation along South Africa's border with Lesotho as ''chaotic'', with stock theft as serious as ever. Despite the government's undertakings to build a new border fence and to patrol farmers say that plans have come to naught. Carte Blanche follows the path of stolen cattle ending up in pounds, dying, starved and traumatised. The show follows the trail of a horse called Toffalux and uncovers shocking details.
Carte Blanche will also be looking at racial quotas at universities this evening and their admission policies with presenter Bongai Binga, producer Sophia Phirippides and journalist Tshediso Sesioana.
The show also looks at animals shelters. Carte Blanche visits a smelly haven and the ''no-kill'' policy after the owner of an animal ''rescue'' centre in Walkerville - once hailed as a ''saviour'' has refuelled the debate on the uncontrolled breeding of domestic pets. Este de Klerk is the producer with Bongani Bingwa as producer.
The show also investigates a new form of rat control - actually a very old method making a comeback, with Chantal Rutter Dros presenting and Liz Fish as producer.
