Derek Bezuidenhout was a gymnastics coach popular with his colleagues and students. But for ten years, Bezuidenhout allegedly physically, sexually and emotionally abused multiple gymnasts at a club in the Free State. When his alleged crimes were uncovered, he took his own life. Red flags about Bezuidenhoutโ€™s conduct started early in his career but no one believed the children, and the club failed to investigate the allegations. Now, several of Bezuidenhoutโ€™s victims are speaking out about the predator who groomed and targeted them for years while the club and the Gymnastics Federation allegedly stood idle. Carte Blanche investigates why Bezuidenhoutโ€™s alleged abuse was permitted to continue for so long. Find more exclusive content on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://linktr.ee/carteblanchetv
