The 03 August episode of Carte Blanche investigates shocking allegations at a Christian rehabilitation centre where staff members are facing criminal charges and a resident was allegedly beaten to death.
Behind its promise of healing through scripture, former residents describe a harrowing reality marked by abuse, torture, starvation, and coercive practices, including being cable-tied and denied basic care.
While the centre claimed to offer spiritual restoration, disturbing reports suggest a deeply toxic environment hidden behind closed doors.
Its first episode aired on 21 August 1988 and over the last 34-plus years has earned credibility among South African viewers for its investigation into corruption, consumer issues, and current events.
