The 29 December episode of Carte Blanche revisits a chilling investigation into complex brain surgeries performed by an unlicensed neurosurgeon operating in South African hospitals.
The exposé delves into how this high-profile, internationally known surgeon, previously disgraced in his home country, managed to gain access to both state and private medical facilities in South Africa.
The report spans from the United States to South Africa, unraveling the troubling circumstances that allowed unsuspecting patients to be subjected to potentially life-altering surgeries by someone unqualified, raising serious questions about medical oversight and accountability in the healthcare system.
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.
