Frere ID Theft

Identity theft costs the country hundreds of millions of rand every year as crooks gain access to credit and benefits in someone else's name. Over the past year more than 30 doctors at the Frere Hospital complex have had their IDs stolen by a syndicate operating in the East London area. Carte Blanche finds out more about the suspects and how they do it.

Missing Mule

At any given moment there will be a passenger on an aeroplane smuggling drugs on behalf of syndicates always on the look-out for vulnerable people willing to act as mules.Carte Blanche traces the steps of one such mule, who vanished without a trace after turning to an investigator for help late last year.

Criminalising HIV

Recent years have seen a reduction in new HIV infections, although South Africa still has more infected people - 5.6 million - than anywhere else. In some countries, deliberate infection of a person with HIV is considered a crime, but not here. Last year, Western Cape premier Helen Zille caused a hoo-ha when she suggested that those who knowingly infect others be charged with attempted murder. Carte Blanche speaks to three women who plan to lay criminal charges against a Durban man alleged to have infected them.

Fat Pets

Pet lovers often treat their animals like human companions and while pets may often be adequate, or even superior substitutes, their diet should be way different to ours. Cheese and chips are a no-no say vets, 100g of boerewors is like consuming 22 koeksusters and chocolate can be toxic. Carte Blanche met some dogs and cats trying to beat the battle of the bulge.

The Rise of the Right

Once they were renowned for their easygoing attitude to just-about-everything, including marijuana, gay marriage and legalised euthanasia. To be Dutch was to be inclusive and proudly multicultural, socially progressive and accepting of difference. Now the Netherlands appears to be speeding in the opposite direction.

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.
