In the Northern Cape, government built what should’ve been a functional, modern, state-run mental healthcare facility. It was the long-awaited fulfilment of a promise to those in need of mental healthcare services in a province desperate for psychiatric facilities. But five years after it was finally opened, whistleblowers have come forward describing a facility that’s in urgent need of attention. And for once, a lack of funds isn’t the problem. Documents and images obtained by Carte Blanche show how the mismanagement of funds by the Northern Cape Department of Health and the hospital are eating away at the budget meant for vulnerable patients.

@carteblanchetv ive got the same problem here were i live im suffering from ptsd can you please contact me ive got a story for you 😢
29 May is the date. Vote, South Africa, VOTE!
We seriously need Devine and Supernatural intervention on the 29th...things like this cannot continue 😢
PLEASE
Ja, the people are so DOM.... they will still vote cANCer....
And then cry racism when they are called DOM
The ANC government just makes my blood boil. What level of greed is this one? I’m sure the devil himself is also astounded!
Voters need to accept accountability for their votes/support of the ANC. 2 choices, keep voting for this level of incompetence or vote for CHANGE in 2024.
May we not forget the victims of the Life Esidimeni disaster
🎯
and no one has been held accountable
@@xholiswawittes9664 I cried watching this. This is wrong in every way
From R219M to R2Billion..these people have no shame.
The amount for the golf cart and the quad bike was so astonishing. 💔
And then the patients are eating cold food and have no bathrooms. 😔
anything and everything the ANC touches falls to pieces
Its not just an ANC problem, its a South African culture problem. While government is to be held accountable, there are many private companies that once a tender/ contract is won, they see at as their time to milk the system because everyone else is doing it. They often inflate prices to quadruple the prices of simple things. So while CEO's, politicians, and provincial administrative staff should be held accountable, the private sector should also be held accountable. politicians and the private companies should both be harshly punished
@@Mus-Doc if it were only true what you say. However, you fail to acknowledge that the vast majority of Tender awards go straight to Corrupt Criminal Enterprise ANC affiliates, hidden behind a veil of private sector. Who then go ahead to plunder the country to the extremes. NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY SPIN THIS AND PERFORM MENTAL GYMNASTICS ... ITS A FUCKEN CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE ANC PROBLEM.
If only people where punished for corruption and their "belongings" where seized to pay back the money, we wouldn't have such problems.
& Make the corrupt work through out their jail time to pay back what they have stolen, until, the debt is paid.
Keep up the excellent work, Carteblanche.
This is unforgivable. Corruption.
What looks like a MEGA hospital housing a 170 odd patients costing that.. and nothing being delivered? This country is rotting with corruption under the ANC. It's no longer an option.... WE NEED TO VOTE SOUTH AFRICA! These poor patients in need of care need you to vote!
I cry for my beloved country 😢
This show should be on SABC because ANC supporters are too broke for DSTV.
100%
Haeeeeeeeee 😮😮😮😮😮😮
No one in governance has any shame. The dignity and safety of South Africa's most vulnerable means nothing to them. It feels hopeless
proudly brought to you by the cANCer
Ironically, as a cancer survivor, the only way to survive cancer, is to eradicate it completely
It's clear we need new governance.. this is just disgusting
New governance
From where?
@@nomalungelongcete5875 from the DA or MCP...
"There will be consequences.." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yhea right!! When NHI comes this will be happening all over the country.
A hospital meant to serve the people, now serves as bonuses to the Cadre department for the underprivileged ANC youths studying in Yale and Harvard!
My poor country has terminal cANCer. 😢
Brilliant work Carte Blanche..... ALSO: Masa's look is everything... yeahsssss gurl.
Get the investigation task force & Hawks in. All public financial responsibility should be accountable, so those responsible for the corruption should face justice, and must be arrested
Everyone blames every other one!
@@christienodendaal3001
True
Where are the law enforcement agencies?
Exactly. The Hawks.
Also corrupt
We appreciate what anc did all these past years but on the 29th of May please do right choices people.
It's just hurtful to continously watch poeple living in poverty or dire constraints to be expiolited in such a manner. They are already vulnerable yet they are taken advantage of by those who's job is to serve and protect them. That's the reality in South Africa💔
And yet the people still vote for the ANC and EFF 😢
In the context of this story, what’s wrong with EFF?
Similar instances of Corruption happen where they Govern
😂eff is not in government
@@reportthehype4689 should've been more specific, sorry. In the Municipalities they govern
Dumb Houtkoppe! What better would you expect? Zero!
Why are they doing this to vulnerable people?
Why !!oh why are we not surprised that a building budget is inflated by over ten times the proposed budget.Cry my beloved country 😏😏🙄🙄😡😡😡
Heartless.
My brother is an 'INMATE' previously at Cullinan sorg & rehabilitation center..closed by Cart Blanche expose .... eventually ended up at Kirkwood..last year a broken femur with no explanation and a few weeks in hospital. Would like a surprise visit to see how they are really treated ...locked away with not much activity or stimulation .looking very frail ,thin and under nourished with very little medical care .when we saw him in Dec his feel were severely swollen /odema and said it had been like that for months without any intervention or medical care . His teeth are all rotten and is highly medicated
We're sorry to hear of your brother's ordeal. If you wish to share more info with our team, you can visit our website and click on the Tip Us Off tab.
SO heartbreaking!
Having mental health issues along with my husband we are still struggling to get treated with a certain amount of dignity.
I'm so sorry. That's just wrong.
That’s what the nhi will ensure across the board
Aaaaah, only heart warming stories out of South Africa. As if! Absolutely disgusting!
Again, is this why you wanted the country? ANC!
That's painful 😒 corruption of the Ruling party
time for NC to vote DA
Really? The Dictatorship Alliance? lol Must be joking. The workers don't change the same corrupt employees will be working in procurement even if an independant wins.
Why DA specifically?
@@wentzelwilliams5568 proven track record
@@wentzelwilliams5568
Ask it again
@@peterprentice9179
You vote for it
Its sad to see something like this a whole entire hospital with no electricity and patients bathing in cold water ay this is sad.
Viva anc, welldone you fools
these videos should be accessible to everyone, nabo bangena mali for data - 64k views is nothing - only the few that can afford see these and imajority ye South Africans will make the same mistakes again come 29 May - Kodwa ke thumbs up to Carte Blanche
South Africa should unite and obsolete corruption once and for all…
I Love my Premier, Dr Saul. He is honest and tries his best in Northern Cape! I would love to see him become President. He even rides a second hand vehicle! That shows how eager he is to get corruption ect wiped out!!
Another ANC monument. Viva !
Yet they vote for them repeatedly. So who is really to blame...
So everybody please vote the ANC out of power, and vote for people BETTER, not even WORSE.
How can people still votes for these corrupt political parties. The voters must be responsible for the corrupt political officer bearers the vote into power. 😢
While we here, I suspect something similar is happening with the Naledi Clinic in Soweto in ext. 2. We have a small container services a rather large population and often staff is often overwhelmed.
They have have been building it for almost 5 years 😢
Please, report it to Carte Blanche
Carte blanche, I love you!...
How's that guy... 'we are in the process of getting to the bottom of the allegations...' blah blah blah What a blanket statement to make.
And a CEO who 'can't do anything' Shame, it must be horrible to be so impotent.
A fish rots from the head down.....
Blame game from the CEO
A looter continua
Comrades have an insatiable appetite, they never get enough and mostly don't learn from their past mistakes solely because there is little to no retribution for their thievery,I can just imagine the difficulties staff and patients have to go through on a daily basis.
What has the Northern Cape mental health board has to say? Do they not do audits? ANC has no shame!!! Life esidimeni 2.0 loading
At the psychiatric hospital, the patients was all sent out into the yard and the securities and staff was inside,I'VE SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES.
I see all of this. Now they want to implement NHI😢.. Imagine what is going to happen?
Where is the reporting? Who's driving the Quade bike & golf cart?
Why not name the person?
Where did you build my new house - Paris, Dubai or Singapore ? ✈️🌏👎
How long must this carry on for? 😢 Will the corrupt culprits EVER be held to account?
I can see both sides of the story. I think it would be difficult to carry on a hospitals duties after attacks on a sub station supplying electricity. That would lower morale for me if I were working there. People have to realize that when you are in a desperate situation you will probably make mistakes. In other words if you put a sheep in a cage with a very hungry wolf, don't be surprised if the sheep gets eaten. But I also see the side of the people funding the hospital. They're wary of paying for services and material not being rendered. Well it's going to take a lot more than what they're offering to fix a broken system. I think they need to be in it for the long haul and focus on incremental gains, not monumental losses if they want to be successful. You sometimes hear people supporting a cause say, "if I can just help one person then it's worth it." That is the kind of attitude that is needed to not slip into no progress at all. Just my honest opinion on the matter.❤🎉
It's a pity in SA corruption goes unpunished because the leaders are also corrupt, corruption is like an incurable pandemic in this country.
Ah,... all those wealthy tenderpreneurs. ...
It's sad my beautiful SA
Have you reported on other mental health hospitals in SA
Is there anything that the ANC government does right; as in the way it should normally be done?
Ready for an update on Jooste and co
I am in my seventh decade of life. Corruption is endemic to Africa; it is part and parcel of the African experience.
Get used to it because it’ll never change.
Vote!
Look at these men and their suits in the interview…you telling me they not corrupt???
The only thing working in this country is social grants...electricity, water,employment, crime ,infrastructure an recently nsfas is all in a mess.
What institution in this country isn't corrupt? There is enough money, but too many greedy and useless people managing, when they have no business or interlect to do so.
We all know what to do. Let's not also fail people. Let's vote correct.
Ai, why can nothing be done ethically in my country 😢
Please also do KusilePower station
They must visit most of facilities not only health...
What is with all the music, seriously.
Must change the vote this here
Vote vote vote right
Once again, "we are in the process"
"WE will. . . ."
Ag man we've heard it all b4
She looks like a young Sally Burdett
We the people are incompetent.
You get what you vote for.
No surprises!
Viva ANC. Another success story. #blackexcellence
They speak in circles trying to sound educated. But rarely make sense.
It's an African Problem...
viva ANC, VIVA!
LIES, LIES AND LIES ,.!!!!!!!!
I think her red dress is a bit too short....
STOP VOTING FOR THE ANC
Noticing alot of beggers with mental issues.
