This coming Sunday in a longer episode of Carte Blanche at 19:00 on M-Net (DStv 101) the weekly investigative magazine show will get to grips with advanced sex dolls.
Sunday's episode of Carte Blanche is again longer at 90 minutes instead of the usual 60 minutes due to the higher age restriction of the Sunday night movie.
In one of the planned inserts, Carte Blanche presenter Bongani Bingwa will look at advances in sex dolls and how virtual reality is being added to simulated sex experiences.
Besides the sex doll insert, Carte Blanche is also investigating the controversial Brian Molefe's return to Eskom, and how Facebook is targeting users with personalised advertising.
Here's the run-down of this Sunday's Carte Blanche:
Brian Molefe: The Return
Six months
ago Brian Molefe announced he was leaving Eskom. Since then, no investigation
has been conducted into his friendship with the Guptas. Now he is back at the
helm. Can the Eskom board justify this decision under South African law? Carte
Blanche investigates his track record at Eskom, the reasons behind his
departure and how he managed to return.

Cracking the Code
Facebook is
still one of the most popular social media networking sites in the world
By using sophisticated algorithms, it has mastered the ability to track a lot
of user browsing history, even when you’re not logged on or a registered member of the platform.
This
ensures that Facebook can target you with personalised advertising and news to
keep you glued for longer. But this feedback loop is fuelling the rise and
power of 'fake news'. So how has this social media site cracked the code
of human interaction over the internet?
