The Sunday, 07 June <\/strong> installment of Carte Blanche<\/strong> revisits one of its most haunting investigations, chronicling a six-year saga that started when a mother accused midwife Yolande Maritz Fouchee of administering drugs to her daughter during a distressing birth experience.<\/p>\n

This inquiry revealed a series of heart-wrenching events, including the fatalities of newborns, significant brain injuries, and families urgently searching for clarity.<\/p>\n

Initially bringing the midwife’s actions to light in 2020, the programme has persistently highlighted the experiences of mothers who have bravely advocated for accountability and justice.<\/p>\n

Now, after enduring years of sorrow, resolve, and legal struggles, Carte Blanche scrutinizes the much-anticipated verdict in a case that has profoundly affected many families in South Africa.<\/p>\n
