Carte Blanche: Failure to prosecute – WATCH

The 21 September episode of Carte Blanche delves into a case where a disbarred attorney stands accused of fraud and theft.

Despite a warrant for his arrest on 22 charges of fraud and theft, the individual remains at large. Now, in 2025, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has made no progress in the case, leaving the victims without justice.

The report raises a critical question: when will the children allegedly cheated of life-saving funds see a resolution to this harrowing ordeal?

Carte Blanche is a South African investigative journalism television series that airs on M-Net every Sunday at 19:00.

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.
