In the Eastern Cape, thousands of talented young athletes with the potential to be tomorrow’s sports heroes don’t have access to proper facilities. In villages across the province, netball courts, rugby fields and athletics tracks are a rare sight. So, when the provincial government promised the rural community of Sakhisizwe that it would build a new multi-million rand stadium, it was a welcome development. Fast forward several years and the much-anticipated high-performance centre is little more than an abandoned field. But Sakhisizwe is not the only community that’s been promised new or refurbished facilities costing millions, only for developers to pocket the money and fail to deliver. In this election campaign, Carte Blanche crisscrosses the province, tracking several costly infrastructure projects in one of the poorest parts of the country, and finds a trail of broken promises.

This is what happens when you consistently give your vote to the ANC. For 30 years! I have no pity. You get what you vote for. In this case gross incompetence and systemic corruption.
DA and EFF aren't the answer either not to mention MK and unfortunately smaller parties with better intentions than the ones at the top simply don't have enough traction
What do you suggest then? Things must change. SA cannot afford 5 more years of ANC rule
@@LwandleDlamini_ The DA is far from perfect, but they have a solid track record that no other political party can come close to. People also like to ignore that what the DA has achieved in the Western Cape has been done with a hostile national government. If we get the right people in power, this country will finally have access to its inherent potential and the Rand would literally strengthen overnight. If SA chooses the ANC, EFF, or MK, or a combination thereof, the opposite will happen and the country's future prosperity will go out the window. We are walking a very fine line, and any populist narrative and party in only in it for personal gain. We desperately need public SERVANTS, not wannabe dictators, socialists, or communists.
@@LwandleDlamini_Support an entity in the MPC then. Not voting is worse than continuing to support the current incumbent or any of its allies. This country desperately needs change.
@@LwandleDlamini_ stay in kzn and jhb then. dont go to the western cape.
The people of the Eastern Cape keep voting for the ANC, I no longer feel any sympathy for them.
KFC, a free T-Shirt, empty promises...
They don't need Ur sympathy mfo
Nam Iam originally from the eastern cape but I don't feel an sympathy for them when it comes to that self inflicted non delievarancy
@@NathiMathumbu but bazovotela bani. Ngubani ifuna ukuphatha Eastern Cape xa sthetha inyani? Yeyiphi party epha as we speak elwela ukususa ANC? Bafuna KZN NE Gauteng
@@Aninomazi_ bangaqala nangeUDM, they need to get in the habit of trying out available options and voting out non-performers
😢this programme should be televised on Sabc so that people of EC can be aware of how the Anc is failing them
I agree with you
They know Anc has failed them, problem is they think anc is theirs
They live in the rot and with failures of the ANC daily. Why on earth do they need a TV show to point out the obvious? If reality isn't enough, then nothing will sway the EC electorate. They're a lost cause and creators of their own demise.
hope the pressure carte blanche is applying influences people to vote properly
Only a few people,I guess they are watched by less than a million people countrywide it's like 702 😂😂only listened to by less than 500k countrywide so majority of people are watching soapies on sabc tv stations
The reality of the matter is that nothing will ever work until ANC is out of power. This is a disaster to say the least.
Out of power and the corrupt in jail
The Eastern Cape is a mess, please remember that when voting.
South Africa is a mess
It hard to get through Eastern Cape people. They still loyal to ANC
A mess indeed bro... Such a shame cause its such a beautiful province... especially where I grew up
@@asavelayoung7315no. We don't vote... That's misconceptions U saying. Am the e.c we don't show up. Elders do and they loyal to the anc
@@Aninomazi_ People need to vote the ANC out and make the new party fix things. Then if they dont the ANC comes back in. Make them work against each other to deliver...... the people should win at some point
Keep on informing us on these unfortunate deeds by the ruling party, so that voters can help change our country by voting these incomplete crooks out of office
How can you still think of voting for EFF OR ANC
EFF is not even the 2nd biggest party in EC don't lie... ANC is the issue
“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.”
Guess what?? They'll vote for the same government, I guess they love coming to Carte Blanche and cutting edge and saying "kunzima msasazi"
stop giving your vote to anc. Full stop. I'm saddened as it's my home province.
The Eastern Cape is the look into the soul of the ANC and what the ANC will do to entire RSA.
Let me make it easy for everyone, the money was transferred back to ANC for their own activities through backdoors.
🤦🏾♀️... And Eastern Cape people will unfortunately continue voting for the ANC.
Nothing quite like free KFC, T-Shirts, and empty promises. Rural SA are very easily bought, often to their own demise. Problem is, they are dragging the productive few in SA into economic turmoil.
If not the ANC then whom?
Because no party shows interest in the e.c. even the ANC isn't threatened to campaign as we speak like U see in Gauteng and KZN. Because there's no threat, no visible party that makes enough noise that side
R23 million gone and no one is being held accountable.
The facilities are state of the conart.
Flogging a dead horse here guys. If my butcher sold me rotten meat, I would not develop a taste for it, I would shop elsewhere.
The money for the projects have been invested in vacations overseas louis Vuitton bags and fancy cars 😂😂😂
And slay queens
I can’t wait for the coverage in Limpopo
Same. The corruption is beyond repairable. Disgusting!!
As a party comprised of mainly black people, what I struggle to understand is how the ANC continues to deny THEIR OWN people better. Is there no desire to do right by your people who have struggled so much over the years already?
Nah they forgot all the people who supported them
What a shame!! I really hope people vote for any other party but the ANC !! Pls guys do it for your children and their future generations.
This is a disgrace!
The Cogta MEC is shamelessly avoiding accounting. Contractors have a tendency to charge exorbitant amounts of money from government.
I can't wait to vote on the 29th May.
If we still need our country back, we need to change ourselves and ultimately the way we think, vote and engage with government.
ANC wards and provinces voted in by the people.
Another awesome presentation
by Carte Blanche
You've got to give extra thanks to the BEE "contractors" that the municipalities hire to complete these projects. At least half of all the money will be in their personal bank accounts 👍
And let's not forget the kickbacks going to whoever hired them....
We have suffered enough in the hands of the ruling party and it's sad because these things won't stop
Very heartbroken to watch really that they the ANC don't care about the people of the Eastern Cape....they only care about their own pockets 😢
Very Sad indeed, Now its up to the voters to decide if they want to continue with this failing government or embrace change.
This will only change when the ANC is out and those responsible for the corruption and theft are in jail
So more than 30 million was spent on Eastern Cape yet nothing much has been done to up the province this is the worst municipality in South Africa
Yip,ANC municipalities are stealing the Eastern Cape bankrot
Hulle moet aanhou vir anc stem.
so disappointing and saddening!!!!
please vote!!!!
Vote wisely
Promises, promises. Very sad. 😢 Sports facilities are invaluable because they keep kids away from crime and drugs.
but then who will buy all the codeine those at the top are selling
This happens everywhere, we have a facilities in Giyani, limpopo that have been incomplete for more than 10 years. At the High school I attended, there was a little contraction on the sports field that happened for a week and left abandoned, then only thing they got is grass that we never played on even.
Also changing Port Elizabeth's name to Qqeberha was another waste of money...people still say PE...
Lol alright.
This province is a disgrace lack of resources the anc dnt give afk
Ziintloni 😢
Thanks CB for keeping us informed and exposing the ANC biggest crime to South African... They've legalised their criminality sadly it just seems yhe norm...BUT ITS NOT🤬
All these so called contractors should be flagged for being horrible business people, investigated to the root source of the problem and the person that gave them that tender and arrest for misusing tax payers money.
exactly
Besides overpricing the biggest issue here is maintenance. You cant build infrastructure & not have a maintenance plan in place. Another issue is community members destroying public infrastructure.
Jrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! Disgusting, and Selfish that our government has stooped so low.
After the elections can we have the team do follow up interviews with the representatives ?
People who keep swimming with and vote for the very Sharks that feed off them are not victims and don't deserve sympathy!
How else must the comrades eat if they don't dish out the tenders for inferior and incomplete projects
CONTINUE VOTING ANC!!!! WE ARE GOING TO BE ZIMBABWE!
That why my vote goes to ActionSA with pride.
Mhmmmmm
These are sad news, especially Sakhisizwe and Ngcobo. Knowing how many kids could have used these facilities.💔
Claire Mawisa looks absolutely stunning, every single time!
People vote wisely. Stop being fooled by empty promises...u have a choice to do the right thing for a better life
Thank you for reporting on this.
Everyone should be seeing the decay leading up to these very important elections.
Not the T-shirts, not Mbeki parading up and down.
THIS is the legacy of the ruling party and this is what we should all be seeing.
It's not only your area, it's not only little pockets or anomalies, it is everywhere.
It can only be Eastern Cape😢😢😢
It sad to see a beautiful country becoming unrecognisable!! For me i think better do a research on a contractor before giving a tender to people who know nothing they are just there to eat money and buy cheap material for a project
Let's see how low the ANC can take us
We need to help the multi-charter party get more votes. Locals be brave. Do your duty to SA find those that have lost hope and tell them there is still time to turn this around. Keyboard warriors share the news. It's gonna take all of us to get the ANC out!
When she says “what is it supposed to be?” 😢😮
People complain, but they ultimately approve of the status quo with their vote, or choice not to vote.
The scary part is, more than 40% of the electorate want more of the same, i.e., a stagnating economy, diminishing employment opportunities, higher inflation, lower living standards, more crime, etc.
Gravy train is rife in eastern cape I live here unfortunately and it's shocking how little is done with anything here
This people don't have the communities at heart, at the end of the day its your children and commuters suffer, do they graduate to steal or what is wrong in their mind.
Just like FAFO, we shoudl have something like VAFO - Vote ANC and Find Out.
Short changed is an understatement Bamboozled bra Not a sigle project I saw cost more than 1 Million rands
Frustrating and truly heartbreaking 💔
😢😢😢
Any where the ANC touches leads to disaster and destruction
I'm actually scared for the future of Carte Blanche. I'm sure the ANC will be going after them soon after all the recent episodes targeting corruption
this is Mickey Mouse corruption compared to what we're being distracted from
Beautiful, amazing, proudly planned and executed by …
If Eastern Cape people do not make a change anc will not make a change, therefore think when you vote, look for actions from the party not promises
Vote for whom? Which party is making noise as we speak against the ANC in the Eastern Cape? None! They're fighting GP and KZN as we spk. And the ANC isn't even campaigning no more in the e.c because there's no threat
Wish more people in rural areas could see this.
So wish 😢
Guess what!! They still voted ANC. Mental institutions needed here not stadiums
The Eastern Cape is a ANC stronghold!
You get what you vote for.
ANC’s legacy is destroying everything it has its hands on
ANC doesn't give two hoots about the people! I hope these people continue to vote for the ANC and it gets even worse!
Qhubelekani ke nivotele ANC.. khanijonge yhoooo no man… these people are drowning South Africa
A sad and disgraceful situation.
It is so sad to see the extent of the corruption. Stealing from the people of South Africa. I blame ALL politicians and political parties. You allowed this to happen.
A lot has been done in 30 years. Everyone will view this achievement based on their own needs.
Why aren't the contractors being called out on this?
May 29th the national IQ test we will be there
Although these projects were half a$$E done,atleast they started unlike Edwin Sodi's projects.
Our leaders seem to be incompetent.
Adding the podcast version of the audio track as a secondary audio track option would be useful - I often listen to the videos and the options to have the translations would be nice. (When actually watching, subtitles are better though, so the primary audio track can stay the same...)
Go to the rural areas in Mount Frere...... you'll be shocked
Never feel sorry for ppl of EC they get what they vote for sadly they will be in their way to Kzn ,Gp ,WC after all their mess vote
Like Mpulanga, NW, Limpopo people flock to GP nhe?
In just 24 days black South Africans will vote to keep the ANC in power. I think the ANC should get another 50 years. That will roughly equal the amount of time apartheid was in operation. Only then can we make an accurate assessment of the ANC.
With these amounts that are being mentioned here just shows how much potential this country has at developing and uplifting its people also with the treasury being so generous at forking out these amounts but by appointing greedy and selfish individuals it becomes a sad state of affairs and so it will continue.
I love this show... it reminds me of 3rd Degree a show used to aired on eTv
Corruption at d highest level....the anc government must go
Lovely land ...give it to those who want land...instead of wanting to take land that they claimed was taken from them
Keep voting for ANC Eastern Cape ,dont complain
Why do we settle for so little as South Africans 😢
So as an MEC uyaphakama and you can't make time for the public? Why do the people of the Eastern Cape keep voting for such people? Kutheni na?
Corruption at all levels, how can anyone believe life will get better.
Its disappointing how the same people who are suffering will be voting for the people that are making them suffer 😔
Brenda Fassie's "Promises" needs to be the soundtrack for this series.
Tenderpreneurship at it's finest. Vote ANC to stuff the pockets of a few....
The governing parties/individuals who appoint contractors and are supposed to practice oversite should be held financially responsible in their personal capacities for any amounts over budget. The most competent contractors will then be appointed out of fear of personal fiancial loss even if these politicians dont care about anything else.
"The Comrades must eat" said a fellow. You would think the people heard that.
🤣
I live in Mdantsane, I have a delivery service, so I cover the entire township when I work… I’ve never seen the R38M public pool 😅
Yho its a shame to our government yho😢
Abantu base-EC.... balele! Baloywa yi-anc.
ANC yohlula country yonke.wdym
ANC ill treat Eastern Cape people 😢😢😢
The guy with waste recycling plant is in the wrong location. He knows more about the homeless than reporters.
I'd love to see you embrace our African languages more in interviews cause that Afrikaans host is no shy when it comes to speaking her language, so please do more in your African language
