The 19 Januaryepisode of Carte Blanche investigates a disturbing surge in violent crime targeting students in the university town of Stellenbosch, once renowned primarily for its academic excellence.
Recent months have seen an explosion of muggings, abductions, and even murders, with students becoming increasingly vulnerable as soft targets.
The investigation delves into the efficacy of police investigations and questions whether law enforcement fails to address these crimes.
Furthermore, it examines the responsibility of Stellenbosch University in ensuring student safety and probes the extent of collaboration between the university and police in combating this escalating threat.
Its first episode aired on 21 August 1988 and over the last 34-plus years has earned credibility among South African viewers for its investigation into corruption, consumer issues, and current events.
