Wasteful Spending

The Auditor-General has spoken out about the lack of efficiency in government, saying those employed to do the job seem to be least well-equipped to do it. Terence Nombembe describes the situation as 'dire' and expresses concern about the growing lack of response to his warnings about service delivery and the accuracy of government reports. Carte Blanche looks at some aspects of our ailing public service.

CB20: Bara

Research shows that children of teen mothers are pre-disposed to birth defects for a variety of reasons, including socio-economic ones. And doctors at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital say disorders are becoming more common - so no better time to receive a brand new ICU from the Carte Blanche Making A Difference campaign to treat babies desperately in need of specialised treatment.

Home Buyers Beware

Buying a house is high stress, so many prospective home owners welcomed the protection the Consumer Act was intended to afford them. But it's not that simple: what if a buyer discovers latent defects post purchase? Does the blame lie with the seller or the estate agent - or is it just the buyer's bad luck? Carte Blanche finds out.

Brain Freeze

This common condition is brought on by a rapid increase in blood flow through a major blood vessel in the brain, but less well-known is that if you lower the brain's temperature after a brain injury brought on by cardiac arrest or a stroke, it reduces the chances of brain damage. It's all thanks to a woman called Anna Bagenholm who, while skiing, fell head first into a freezing stream in Norway. Carte Blanche reports a new way to cool the brain that works like a nasal catheter.

Paragliding Africa

Horacio Llorens is one of the most progressive paragliders on the planet - he holds the record for infinity tumbling and is a world champion. He was looking for another challenge, so hooked up with another daredevil adventurer, Thomas de Dorlodot. The two of them set off over Africa - travelling on a literal wing and a proverbial prayer. Carte Blanche caught up with them on the peaks above Cape Town.

General

When is M-Net’s Open Time closing? M-Net’s Open Time closes on 1 April 2007. The final Open Time broadcast is on Saturday 31 March.

When is Open Time coming to an end? Why? On the 31st of March. This decision was made by the The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) last year.

Why is Open Time closing? Last year ICASA (The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa) ruled in favour of closing M-Net's Open Time window.

Will M-Net’s schedule between 17:00 and 19:00 change when Open Time closes? Earlier this year, M-Net introduced an hour of daily drama between 18:00 and 19:00, with Egoli at 18:00 and Binnelanders at 18:30. This slot has been performing extremely well and will continue after Open Time closes. (Also note: Open Time viewers who still want to catch Binnelanders and Egoli now have various options – see point 4) There will changes to programming between 17:00 and 18:00. While Open Time was still running, M-Net used this slot as a promotional window for programmes on its niche channels on DStv channels, like kykNET and GO. As the majority of viewers will already have access to these shows, M-Net will in future give viewers who missed the previous evening’s hour-long prime time series (screened at either 19:00 or 19:30) the opportunity to catch up on all the drama or comedy. The only exception is Thursday evenings. On Thursdays M-Net will screen specials between 17:00 and 18:00. The 17:00 schedule for April 2007: Mondays - Stand-Off Tuesdays - ER season 12 Wednesdays - Smallville season 6 Thursdays - Specials Fridays - Shark season 1 SuperSport fills the 17:00 – 19:00 slot on Saturdays. On Sundays Everwood is screened at 17:00 and the hit game show Deal or No Deal at 18:00.
