Poisoned: An Investigation

Poisoned: An investigation | Carte Blanche | M-Net

On an afternoon walk in downtown Johannesburg, street vendors offer a myriad of lethal poisons to eager customers looking for pesticides to kill rodents. But some of these products have been banned for years and the sale of these substances is illegal. Aldicarb is one such chemical which is easily available from vendors. Another known (but legal) chemical is the highly toxic terbufos that can kill grown men within hours. Itโ€™s this chemical that investigators from the Department of Health now believe may be behind the tragic deaths of six children who died after consuming food from a local spaza shop in Naledi, Soweto. This follows startling reports of other children around the country who have either died or become critically ill from eating snacks or food bought from spaza shops. Now, as government contends with increasing numbers of reported poisoning, especially in children, Carte Blanche investigates whether the state may ultimately be responsible for these deaths.

    Fun South African Fact: The waters surrounding the 2,500km long coastline are teeming with life. Youโ€™ll find great white sharks, African penguins, dolphins and much much more in South Africaโ€™s oceans. Many travellers visit the coast to watch the annual whale migrations. In Hermanus, in the Western Cape, you can see hundreds of whales from June to late November. Simonโ€™s Town, another coastal Western Cape town, is home to Boulderโ€™s Beach. Here you can swim alongside colonies of African Penguins!
