The 25 May episode of Carte Blanche highlights a critical issue: the deteriorating state of cemeteries and the broader implications for respecting the deceased.
Beyond mere tidiness, the report emphasises that preserving cemeteries is about safeguarding the identities and memories of those buried within them.
Confronted with overgrown weeds, crumbling headstones, graffiti, and litter, two distinct individuals in different regions are undertaking the challenging task of restoring dignity and respect to these sacred final resting places, underscoring the importance of remembering and honoring the dead through the preservation of their physical markers.
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.
