Siki Jo-An – ‘Ingoma’

"We wanted to take an inter-generational approach," says documentary filmmaker, journalist, and Habits of Gen Z director, Jo Munnik. "We wanted to tackle really important social issues through the lens of different generations, with a strong focus on Gen Z."

This marks the comedian's first-ever hosting role for a major awards show.

Some of South Africa's best-known citizens have found a final resting place in Johannesburg's Westpark Cemetery, and their funerals can draw massive crowds. Often, ceremonial gun salutes are fired in their honour – especially in the case of military veterans and ANC VIPs. Increasingly, residents in surrounding suburbs are forced to run for cover as stray bullets, allegedly from these funerals, rain down on their neighbourhood and homes. Carte Blanche takes up the inquiry as an elderly resident, who lives more than a kilometre away, ended up getting seriously injured by a random bullet during one of these burials.

The Karroo Theatrical Hotel is an oasis in the desert with a naughty attraction – a one-of-a-kind-drag show – that has all the locals talking. By day, Mark Hinds and his partner Jacques Rabie run their hotel. By night, they transform into Dame Leyla Lamborghini and Freddie Ferrari, with spectacular costumes designed and made by Jacques himself. Together they take their audiences on an emotional rollercoaster ride with an eclectic mix of classical piano and outlandish drag numbers. Carte Blanche peaks behind the curtain.
