Northern Cape: Broken promises | Carte Blanche | M-Net

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝟭𝟮 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰.
In an informal settlement in the Northern Cape... Tannie Nellie Frans, an elderly woman who’s been living in the area for over 50 years, waits for promised government houses to be built across the road from her home. Her community has also been promised a new school and a hospital, something they’ve needed for years. Despite repeated promises, Tannie Nellie hasn’t seen a single contractor on the site. But in this province, unfulfilled promises are a regular feature of residents’ complaints and even the capital, Kimberley, hasn’t been spared. Government has neglected the water system for decades and national funding has been misused and mismanaged by both provincial and local governments. Carte Blanche continues its election coverage in this forgotten part of the country.

Thanks Carte Blanche for these episodes. I'm so heartbroken. Our beautiful country has funds but corruption and greed of our politicians rob us of true freedom.

[@mikeperkins4356]

Carte Blance - you guys are incredible! I've noticed a recurring pattern in your series on broken promises. It's striking how every 'premier' interviewed seems to fit the same mould. They're impeccably dressed, and live in beaut houses / work in offices with stunning views (Your Easter Cape episode) , yet falter when faced with probing questions. The audacity to laugh during interviews reveals a disturbing level of arrogance from these people.

[@robertdupreez6401]

This is more than corruption but stealing on steroids. ANC is a virus

The rest of the world might be on the moon, because the cadres stole the fuel for the rockets to take us to the moon.

[@dineshanpillay5944]

How do you vote for such thugs

[@jaymac72]

In the hopes of getting close to the trough. The typical ANC voter sees this and thinks it is awesome and wants to know how they can also get their free money

[@DumaM-ir7rk]

Well I think they have been rigging the votes now

[@AlternativPerspectiv]

As @jaymac72 said, ANC voters are already looting the trough through the many grants they are getting. It might nit be the millions the cadres are getting but by voting for ANC they can keep their beaks dipped in that trough longer.

[@glennmorris8787]

[@buyiswapmolale8459]

Thank you Carte Blanche, we started out with such high hopes and enthusiasm for the Premier and his cabinet, but it has been disappointment after disappointment discovering this man is exactly like any other politician, does not care about the people he is supposed to "serve"

This is so sad and unfortunate when you have leadership that doesn't have vision to inspires it's nation for growth and innovation, but instead just want to play politics and fill up their coffers behind their high fenced homes. It's an absolute shame. South Africa needs leaders who are even willing to work for free to give their future generations an inspiring future.

[@Mantaray911]

Didn't 'The People' vote for this leadership that you're talking about? Maybe the problem is not the useless & corrupt leaders, but the foolish voters who keep voting for the same useless leaders?

​@@VIEWMARY001 “The downside for financial markets is an ANC/EFF national coalition, while a prolonged, lengthy ANC/EFF coalition nationally is not seen as likely (5%) due to the unsustainability of the impact on government finances, financial markets etc,” said Bishop. “Investor sentiment would be expected to collapse (not the expected case) after the election on the announcement of an ANC/EFF coalition/s (down case), seeing the rand depreciate sharply, bond yields spike up, and financial instability ensue.”
