Meanwhile the fraud and corruption case is building against former president Jacob Zuma, and Carte Blanche also looks at how South African girls are stripping online as part of sex streaming shows.
Life After Esidimeni
The families of the Esidimeni tragedy have been awarded
R1.2-million each as compensation for the lives lost in the tragedy.
Retired
deputy chief justice Dikgang Moseneke made damning observations in his
arbitration award about the sheer lack of accountability for the lives of
patients, saying senior officials had lied, played victim and violated the
constitution. Carte Blanche asks: while responsibility has been apportioned,
will it improve the state of mental health care services?

VAT
Value Added Tax (VAT) will be increased to 15% from 1 April 2018.
Some say it's a necessary step to keep the economy on track but others blame it
squarely on State capture and corruption.
The big question is: with the
majority of South Africans living below the poverty line, how will the poor
compensate from their already empty pockets?

The Case against Zuma
After years of delays and obfuscation, it seems Jacob Zuma’s
past is finally catching up with him. Armed with a docket of multiple counts of
fraud and corruption, the National Prosecuting Authority believes it has a
strong case against the former president. But could Zuma still have a few
smart legal cards to play?

Cam Girls
It’s a lucrative business and many
South African women are cashing in. Using their bodies, a webcam and an
internet connection, cam girls are combining old methods of stripping with
modern technology to make money. Carte Blanche explores the real world of
camming.
