If it sounds too good to be true, it is!

So, why did the Comrades Marathon organisers opt to change this year's cut-off times? Rowyn James tells @LourensaEckard they were under pressure to open up the roads. But @runningmann100 is not convinced... #CarteBlanche

How do banks give a line of credit to one individual for 14 - FOURTEEN - cars?!?!? Also if someone is going to commit fraud on your behalf, chances are, they are not your friend! #CarteBlanche

This Hatfield story makes me think about all the partying I did in my student days… a lot of time in grungy clubs where we mostly took our safety for granted. I guess there are always bad spots but…has it got worse or am I just getting old? #carteblanche

Man, this case is so heartbreaking infuriating. Shame on Zuko Nonxuba and shame on the LPC especially! #CarteBlanche
“My money is being taken by people who have money” - this lawyer took appalling advantage of our most vulnerable with absolute and callous impunity. I have no words #carteblanche
Fighting fire with fire is a potential recipe for escalation and disaster…but can you really blame Thatha Zonke for stepping in to create the solutions their community needs? It’s a sense of purpose in the face of fear and desperation #carteblanche
“The country doesn’t belong to the government”…words of wisdom from Dr Imtiaz Sooliman. So easy to feel worn down by challenges in our own country, never mind the world - but he has endless optimism and energy to meet the needs of others #carteblanche

But isn't this a grrat idea though? Many nre home buyers just dont know what to look out for in this complicated market. He's just going about it in a wrong way 😂😂 #carteblanche
This man is a national treasure but with such a self-deprecating manner you’d walk past him on the street and never know it!
It’s cheaper, lighter, environmentally friendly and as strong as traditional cement. The inventions inspired by village life, in the Venda community that raised him. That's next on #CarteBlanche. teapawt.net/carteblanchetv/status/…
Sheer barefaced nerve and a little creativity is pretty much all you need to make it as a #scamster in this economy - if you believe your own rubbish, so will your targets 🤷♀️ #carteblanche
Shout-out to all the mothers today, especially those acting as references for their kids - without you #joburg wouldn’t have a new mayor 😂 #mothersday #carteblanche

A very good piece about Eskom. Busi Mavuso has acknowledged flaws from her side as well. Thoroughly enjoyed it @bonglez

Energy expert Chris Yelland rates Andre De Ruyter's 3 year tenure at the helm of Eskom at 5/10. De Ruyter himself says he was a little better. Maybe 6 or 7. The lights are still out, loadshedding far from over. What's YOUR rating? #CarteBlanche
A whole excavator hidden in a pile of ash??? You can’t make this stuff up! #eskom #andrederuyter #carteblanche
