Carte Blanche coming up: Killer midwife

The Sunday, 07 June episode of Carte Blanche revisits one of its most harrowing investigations, tracing a six-year journey that began when a mother alleged that midwife Yolande Maritz Fouchee had drugged her daughter during a traumatic birth.

The investigation uncovered a trail of tragedy, including the deaths of babies, life-altering brain injuries and families desperately seeking answers.

After first exposing the midwife in 2020, the programme continued to follow the stories of mothers who refused to be silenced as they fought for accountability and justice.

Now, after years of grief, determination and legal battles, Carte Blanche examines the long-awaited judgement in a case that has left a lasting impact on numerous South African families.
