A good deed | Carte Blanche | M-Net

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝟱 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯.
They say no good deed goes unpunished. That was almost the case for a group of Carte Blanche viewers who had rolled up their sleeves to help disabled children at the state-run Ikwezi Lokusa Special School in the Eastern Cape. In September this year, our investigation exposed gross negligence and human rights violations at the boarding school, with vulnerable children left to fend for themselves. It was a story that moved many of our viewers into action, arranging trucks full of donations for the children. But when it was time to deliver, the volunteers were locked out of the school while the provincial Department of Education did nothing to intervene. But we could not let these children - who have been through so much - be deprived yet again.

Well done Govin for telling him "...we will be back!!" 😂

[@KudzaiNyajeka]

"I have to promise you, we will be back!" Well done Carte Blanche, Rozanne and everyone else who played a part in making the kids happy.

[@uviwemahlanza8127]

Thank you so much Carte Blanche for the follow up in this issue, may the people responsible for this be punished!

The problem is nothing happens to the people in charge.

you know nothing will happen becasue come next year ANC will win again

Crying so much from seeing how much can be done if we all come together instead of waiting for our government. Thank you to all involved in donating their time, money and efforts. ❤ Izandla zedlula ikhanda ma Afrika amahle!! I'm really touched...

[@Lee_807]

I understand the sentiment but shouldnt the government be accountable for our hard earned tax money. Our government is seriously playing games because this is why we pay so much tax because we want our country to function.

[@busisiwekathrine4516]

@@Lee_807 I definitely understand, our government should be brought to task. I'm just grateful for the help that was brought to the children

[@sibusisombekovutula2364]

And yet.. the state misspent or stole taxpayers money for these children and has to answer to stop the rot.

What a great effort, Carte Blanche should be governing South Africa

[@corabailey8121]

Principal and staff need to criminally charged. I wonder how many children have died on their watch? These are human rights abuses. We will await updates . Thank you to the Carte Blanche team and the incredible donors

[@sbongisenindwandwe]

Wow 😯 rotten to the core I doubt that they will even use that stuff they will sell it for profit

[@garethmckerrell6888]

Carte Blanche must go back in a year and see whats left. This government is rotten.

[@mihlalibadiwe1590]

Our so-called leaders should be grossly ashamed of themselves. Thank you Carte blanche, volunteers and donors for exposing this and taking initiative to improve the childrens lives. Much work is still needed, removal of incompetent government officials needs to be done. Let us get up and vote wisely.

[@lebohangmarite6889]

A beautiful story. ❤ As for the staff and department, honestly 😞 it's ridiculous

[@TubeAfrica]

Abantu abamnyama are annoying. you cant fail to do your job and then deny access to people who want to help volunteerily.

honestly, it is heartbreaking. Our black people can be cruel sometimes

Great effort to get all the donations there but those kids deserve safety and care more than anything else. I really hope the staff end up in jail for abusing the defenseless children.

[@Chants_zn]

This is heartbreaking for the kids 😢Thank you for exposing this poor treatment 😞 Well done to the volunteers for the efforts to improve their situation. Replace the care givers and entire staff

[@TheKallious]

Carte Blanche needs to go back there as much as possible to keep getting updates

[@shashasivuyile]

This is so heartbreaking... level of care and interest shown by the department and the schools officials is appalling 😔

[@davidmitchkilanie9085]

Viewing such is really infuriating. No care for the bigger picture. When the people of South Africa does more then the Government. Shameful state we are in . But a big thank you to Rozanne and Team❤

[@sibusisombekovutula2364]

not even one official shared a smile and voice of thanks as to them it was just another day to show off their powers....thank you very much to the donors and especially to carte blanche

[@kaizerkatlego3908]

All those things that were donated will be taken by the staff and officials for personal use or to be sold to make money. Very sad reflection on our society

[@bourquinvanwyk3008]

True

[@MsGuppie2010]

I agree 💯 Why the public is shocked and surprised by the conditions these poor children are living, is beyond me. This is exactly what I expect from government institutions and the lazy entitled staff

[@bongiwedube523]

This made me very emotional. It just shows that as a country, together, we can truly make impactful change. I hope and wish that 2024 we vote better✨️. These officials are cruel, as if they dont have children of their own. 💔

[@MichaelMakgoba]

Leadership under the Government of the ANC where there's no accountability and I will not be surprised that the money doesn't reach out to the most vulnerable kids. Department of education and social development 😢😢😢😢

[@iluma-nathimntase3037]

I thank the viewers and the various organizations for their generosity. I am angry that the department of education in the EC learns nothing, they are never going to fix their behavior. Further, go back next week and those donated items will be gone, sad but true. The attitude is shocking and disgusting.

[@shepherdmumbure2839]

[@einreallife5556]

Department this, department that 💔💔💔. Also the official whose first response was to ask "who gave you access?" Shocking 😮 I just don't know what to say. Really and truly this is heartbreaking for those kids 💔.

[@ObeDadas]

I think they were cleaning. Please check-in again to see if those babies got their toys & goodies

[@henriquefrancisco300]

I believe they were trying to clean a bit the area as much as possible and move children that were in dire state so that they wouldn't appear on camera again. So they needed to stall them from entry.

[@lungilembambo5225]

This is heartbreaking...but also so uplifting. Thank you Rozanne and all who donated

[@flowntutu9492]

People are employees of the government and cannot do their work, being a caregiver comes from the heart. Not just a government income for your family. The people that work there treat special needs children like animals and act out when they get questioned. How do the government officials the stuff there sleep at night?!

And the second is like, namely this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these. This should be a beautiful story of people making a difference but the schools employees and the departments lack of service, and caring(dare we use the word love?), screams of chaos and disorder. So sad!

[@errolnkh1776]

You see what happens when the people lose power that they use to flaunt and brag around with. You will be given the run around, sent from pillar to post, as they know now that someone needs to be held accountable. Touched by the volunteers and all those that contributed, thank you all. We are indebted to you. Carte blanche big ups to you.
