MaMkhize denies being convicted fraudster
In a recently deleted Carte Blanche episode, MaMkhize sat down to settle whether or not she’s a convicted fraudster. According to the show, the reality TV star went to courts alleging defamation by Carte Blanche for saying that she was a convict. The case was withdrawn just before the court hearing. In her defence, MaMkhize submitted her police clearance which shows that he has no previous conviction.
In the Carte Blanche episode they showed that MaMkhize’s fraud conviction and record is from 2005. Since 10 years had lapsed she was able to get it expunged from public record. Carte Blanche showed that they record still reflects for the South African police.
MaMkhize defended herself saying that she was charged with the crime as she was representing the company. @Lebona_cabonena on X reposted MaMkhize’s sit-down with Carte Blanche. Watch the video below:

Others questioned Carte Blanche‘s motives. A netizen got over a 100 like for saying that the investigate show was biased on the basis of race, claiming that the show did not investigate other monumental corruption by white millionaires. Other pointed out Carte Blanche‘s deep dives have not shown patterns of racism. For example, the Tammy Taylor exposé about Piet and Melanie Viljoen.
“Carte Blanche literally has white millionaires and fraudsters being interviewed and interrogated regularly They seem to be the only ones properly covering the messy Tammy Taylor situation along with the Coal switching situation.”
@ncalu_k countered:
“You’re not familiar with the program, are you?”

“You don’t watch Carte Blanche.”
