Cabin Pressure
Imagine you’re an hour into your flight when the cabin suddenly loses pressure, oxygen masks are manually deployed and the pilot forces the plane to steadily descend. Why did this happen on two recent SAFAIR flights between Johannesburg and Cape Town? It’s the third incident of this kind in just nine months and has brought maintenance and safety into question. Carte Blanche shares passengers’ experiences through exclusive, on-board footage.

Posting Mark Barnes
He’s been called ‘brilliant’ and ‘a maverick’ and has just stepped into what he believes is the most exciting challenge of his life.

Divorce Scamster
Just a week before your next wedding you’re shocked to find out you are still legally married. You double-check your divorce certificate and all seems legit.
