It will literally be breath taking.
A dare not miss South African television event is happening next Sunday when Carte Blanche on M-Net will be celebrating its monumental 25th anniversary with a special episode broadcasting from atop the tallest structure in all of Africa on 1 September at 19:00 from atop the 269 story high Hillbrow Towers.
Carte Blanche, M-Net's acclaimed and longrunning weekly investigative magazine show produced by Combined Artistic Productions is having its silver anniversary this coming Sunday 1 September.
Carte Blanche will then be done from the top of the Telkom Jo'burg Tower which has been closed for the public for the past 30 years since 1981.
Carte Blanche will reveal its brand-new "transparent glass" on-air look in keeping with its motto of "the right to see it all",
Carte Blanche will then also officially unveil the book Carte Blanche 25 Years - The Stories Behind the Stories from the Carte Blanche super producer Jessica Pitchford.
Besides the special and very historic 25th Carte Blanche broadcast during which viewers will meet some of the show's top investigative journalists (Is former co-anchor Ruda Landman set for a surprise appearance? The show is mum.), the show will remember highlights, give away a car, and 25 copies of Carte Blanche 25 Years - The Stories Behind the Stories.
"Many aspects of South African life have come and gone over the past 25 years, but not Carte Blanche" says the show.
Carte Blanche has perennially remained the number one show on M-Net as far as viewership is concerned (sometimes jumping to number two when Franz Marx produced soap Egoli was still on), constantly claiming the top spot week after week on the list of M-Net's top ten most watched TV programmes.
"We have a remarkable team," says longtime Carte Blanche executive producer George Mazarakis. "Together they have won 162 awards, influenced government, changed laws and sparked popular debate. In a fight, these are the people I would want to have on my side."
