It's just after 4AM on a Friday morning in the Eastern Cape-town of Alice. Despite the hour in this usually quiet neighbourhood, a man casually emerges from the darkness, peaks over a high wall and fires three bullets. The target? The home of Fort Hareโ€™s Vice Chancellor, Professor Sakhele Buhlungu. Itโ€™s an unnerving pretext to a murder just weeks later: the victim another senior official at the university. But the reign of terror doesnโ€™t end there. In January this year, Professor Buhlungu's bodyguard is gunned down in an official vehicle outside the VCโ€™s home. Carte Blanche investigates a university, uncovering decades long fraud and corruption in the process. Your favourite episodes are now available on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://bit.ly/PodcastCB
