Black gold | Carte Blanche | M-Net

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝟮𝟭 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰.
Coal is a valuable commodity, untraceable and in high demand. In South Africa, thousands of coal trucks criss-cross the country, transporting it to lucrative export markets. But the stakes are even higher on the illicit market. Criminal syndicates target the coal industry, brazenly stealing thousands of tons from coal trucks. Their methods are evolving to feed the black market and evade seemingly ineffective law enforcement. In one of our biggest stings yet, the Carte Blanche team infiltrates the illegal black market to show you first-hand how stolen coal is traded.

Carte Blanche does such an awesome job of tracking down all these types of crime syndicates, so then why can’t the South African police not do the same? They don’t want to? They’re part of the syndicates? Not qualified to do so? So many questions. I think Carte Blanche should form the next government in that country….

I have to say that you are doing a top job. However, I have some questions. Carte Blanche is doing a deal of investigations in order to put together these segments, many companies have their own private investigators doing research and so on. Where is our government in all this? You are doing all the hard work. All they have to do is run with this information. Where is the president, minister of police, police commissioner, minister of justice?
