The Sunday, 25 January episode of Carte Blanche delves into the devastation left by Limpopo’s torrential rainfall, which has washed away roads, cut off basic services and displaced families, prompting the disaster to be declared a national emergency.

As the death toll continues to rise and damage costs climb into the billions, hundreds of affected residents are sheltering in churches while rescue pilots fly perilous missions to reach isolated villages.

As authorities scramble to provide relief, the programme captures powerful accounts from homeowners who survived narrow escapes, alongside the efforts of heroes rebuilding bridges and delivering food.

Together, these stories reveal the profound human, economic and environmental impact of extreme weather battering the province.
