The 27 April episode of Carte Blanche explores the growing trend of South Africans migrating to the Isle of Man, where they now form the largest ethnic minority, making up over 10% of the population.
This small island, known for its favorable tax policies, has become one of the fastest-growing hubs for South African expatriates. While South Africans back home face rising VAT hikes and soaring food prices, many are seeking financial stability and new opportunities abroad.
The programme meets some South Africans whose fortunes are flourishing on the Isle of Man, shedding light on why this tax haven is becoming such a magnet for emigrants.
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.
