The 08 June episode of Carte Blanche investigates the future of Phakisa Freeway, a circuit once hailed as the capital of motorsport in South Africa.
Despite its reputation as one of the best tracks in the country, Phakisa currently sees no activity.
Years of neglect and bureaucratic challenges have taken their toll on what was once considered the jewel of South African motorsport.
The program explores whether a burgeoning grassroots movement can successfully breathe new life into the dormant facility and restore it to its former glory.
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.
