Carte Blanche: Saving Senekal – WATCH

The 28 December episode of Carte Blanche delves into the remarkable transformation of Senekal in the Eastern Free State, a town that five years ago made national headlines after the murder of a young farmer sparked unrest and laid bare deep-seated mistrust within the community.

Today, Senekal is quietly rewriting its narrative through community-led restoration efforts, unexpected alliances, and a shared commitment to rebuilding trust.

What was once a symbol of division is becoming a testament to what is possible when a rural community chooses healing over hostility, finding unity in everyday acts of courage and a collective vision for a more hopeful future.

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.
