In 2020, Carte Blanche exposed a Pretoria-based midwife accused of using an extremely dangerous drug to speed up her patients' deliveries without their consent. Five babies died and several others were left severely disabled. Yolande Maritzโ€™s licence to practice was revoked. But four years later, sheโ€™s back.

It didnโ€™t take long to catch her in the act. Find more exclusive content on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://linktr.ee/carteblanchetv
