Residents of Kuruman are traumatised: Armed robberies and violent attacks in broad daylight, drive-by shootings, and corruption. And if crime werenโ€™t enough of a problem, gross service delivery failures have left this famed stopover for tourists and adventurers in the Northern Cape in crisis. The Eye of Kuruman, a natural spring with 20 million litres of crystal-clear water bubbling to the surface every day, was once known as the Oasis of the Kalahari. But pollution from a defunct sewerage system and poor bylaw enforcement is seeing this pristine life-source wasted. Carte Blanche investigates the residentsโ€™ plight and presses the powers that be for answers. Your favourite episodes are now available on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://bit.ly/PodcastCB
