The 24 August episode of Carte Blanche investigates the plight of a community whose king was forced into exile as the promises of prosperity faded away, leaving residents to grapple with poverty despite living on land rich in mineral wealth.
While billions flow from the mines and luxury resorts built on their soil, many locals continue to struggle to make ends meet, raising the question of whether they will ever reclaim what was taken from them.
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.
