How can a rich country from the 90's be such a failure in the 21st century? No work, corrupt government, bad municipal service, incompetent police, no power... I can carry on and on. The only thing that's still works are the Springboks🏉
How do we expect to take ANC out of power if they have so many people dependant on them. There has to be a correlation between the lack of job opportunities and the social grants.
It's a real disgrace what these people are doing to the disadvantaged 🤬. Blame government for all this what's happening as criminality starts at government level. 😡
You'd swear this episode was 1 hour full, to have compiled so much in 10 minutes, you guys are absolute legends. My brother was a victim of such scam 5 days ago, could we have seen this video on time, we would've reconsidered our decisions.
I was a victim of this scam when i first moved to Johannesburg in 2015. Nothing more painful, getting your hopes up thinking you going to change mine and family situation. Even borrowed money to pay and the taxi to the CBD.
They are having children in order to get government grants. This is such a poor incentive to have so many children you cant afford to look after. This huge population surplus is what caused high unemployment in the first place. Too many people not enough work. We need to stop this exponential population growth on our planet and start moving sustainably, within our means. And yes i believe this should apply to everyone not the a few. I purposely didn't have kids because I'm practicing my belief. We can't look after everyone if we breed like locusts.
The ANC has broken the record for joblessness, and CR thinks that 28 Million grants will keep them in power. This was the result of breaking industries and railway. Thanks ANC wish you and your voters well in future.
One has to feel pity for the Matatiela sister who got scammed, but I couldn't help but wonder where the father of the three children is and what he is doing to help out. Having children is a great joy, but it is their welfare that must trump all other considerations and it is simply irresponsible to bring children into the world where there is little prospect that they can be adequately provided for and have any kind of chance in life. Lastly, we should by now have woken to the fact that qualifications do not necessarily equal competence. Municipalities abound in employees with the former but lacking the latter.
Understand the culture, alot of the time a baby is had to Father a baby and become a woman, Alot of people out there don't know who their baby daddy are. Certain cultures you are not considered a MAN or a Woman unless you have produced a child.
@@ThinkleTink this incorrect. Which culture condones premarital reproduction in South Africa? I am Zulu and have never heard of such a culture within my tribe of AmaThonga. I think the word/s you are looking for is social demoralization which has many facets. What you've described is a societal problem and not a culture.
I wish you guys can cover unpaid GEPF past discriminatory practices. I have been calling and visiting GEPF since 2017fighting an ongoing ring of lies.😢 I'll be happy to be one of the guys to give out their bad experience and poor reply from GEPF employees
The ANC made you and me the fathers. When you pay women to breed - this is the result. I'm very proud that you asked the question. It shows a real Dad - a very rare thing in South Africa. Bless your heart. ❤
Been unemployed for the past 4 yrs' and I'm 45yrs. Finding a job is very hard. People will tell you about connections which pays from R10000 to R40000. to work at the mines. How am I supposed to get this amount when I survive on child grant for my one child. Life e boima and worse everything is getting more expensive.
That is beside the point. The point is, we voted ANC to run down the economy and create breeding grounds for scammers, period. Foreign accent or not, our law enforcers are also part of the big scam. Cry beloved South Africa...
Criminals have more rights than law abiding citizens in South Africa, that's why Benny/James is still sitting there with a smirk on his face. He seems like a foreign national too judging from his accent. This country is fkd.
unfortunately my experience having found work through recruiters in my college days is foreign but doesn't it make sense for the recruiter to get you the job then get a part of your earnings. I know it's scam but legitimate recruiters will either have a contract with a company and take your actual pay and then take their cut, not an upfront cut that's just dubious. If they believe they can place you why not take your first months pay or a portion of it?
Yes continue voting for the ANC guys or decide to rest at home when its voting day and such tragedies are going to multiply in the next 3 years hooray🎉
Resting at home is giving the ANC an advantage because their voters are not going to be sitting at home. Shop around there must be some party that says the things nearest to your heart.
I was unemployed and I also had to go to JHB for an Interview to get a Job on a Mine, I went there and as soon as I walked into the building (there were more then 100 people crammed into a small Conference Room) I sat down and when that bloke started speaking about paying I stood up and told 3very single person around me stand up and walk away they are Scammers. The Scamsters were very angry at me and because I was white they tried bullying me into being a Racist..... Out of all those people more then Half walked out with me and barricaded the room and called the cops I left at that stage not even sure what happend, this was back in 2016
A lot of people fall for these scams cause they are desperate, I also almost fell victims to these scams but I started ignoring their emails and phones calls lol, I am glad they didn't scam you, how has your job situation been now did you manage to get a job?
Cha mina ke my concern now or questions that I have is that nina as Carteblanche kanti these investigations and programs you do, televise and interview victims how does it benefits the communities and victims if at the end you do catch the perpetrators and do nothing about them, because these scams were caught 2019 but yet nothing happened to them they are still doing the same thing and meaning even after this they are still going to do the same thing.
I only ask myself that question cause i watch this show on regular basis. People get caught but 2 years down the line that person or group is still doing the very same thing.😢😢😢😢
You should be thankful. In Zimbabwe we don’t have a Programme like CarteBlanche. It’s not the job of CarteBlanche to arrest or enforce the law. They are doing their job extremely well by informing everyone on what’s happening within your country. Once informed…the police and other stakeholders can act on the report. I only wish we had such exposés here in Zim. You are actually lucky.
@@BatsiraiMusuka I don't mean to argue with anyone here, I love and follow Carte Blanche I know they are doing a great job I didn't say I doubt them at all. I thought programs like this one helps stop crime by making sure that victims get justice at end though they can't get their money back but to know that a criminal is behind bars it heals. But clearly I was wrong hence I had to ask ukuth actually what happens after exposing these criminals, thats all I was asking I was not comparing South African tv programs and other countries.
@@spha4589 I’m not wanting arguments neither. I just hoped you appreciated that having someone even shine a light on the problem is actually an important contribution. It’s not easy work. One might even say it’s a risky job as they often riffle up powerful and dangerous people in the process. They can not arrest anyone. It is not their job at all. They hand over the information to the police (they sometimes even rope in the police to their filming/investigations). I might be wrong, but what else do you want them to do? Please help me understand. I mean…the fact that even in this clip they even revisited their archives to show this “James” character from a previous episode years later…is the stuff of award-worthy world-class reporting. I don’t know…maybe I’m wrong. I know to concede that l do not know everything in the world. But l thought they are expertly doing their job. I have absolutely no complaints with the Carte Blanche crew.
@@BatsiraiMusukaI agree with you. You clearly articulated that CB is not responsible for enforcing the law,therefore it cannot be blamed when repeat offenders keep showing up
I will never pity anyone that gets scammed by people selling jobs. These scammers thrive from people not wanting to follow due process. Sies to them all
Apartheid died nearly 30 years ago. Sadly some of our own people have no conscience. They will steal from a mother who is trying to feed her children. Mandela didn't risk his life for this. How do these people live with themselves
What a mess. When we cry foul they cry xenophobia and as for our SAn people when we cry community, others cry its a crime. Who are we voting for vele because I def don't want the anc and eff, da doesn't know what they want and the rest is just like those AND MANY MORE you read on a flyer for a festival. A country that has the potential to be a force but you
Yoh 5yrs without employment 😭💔💔💔 This is so sad , I can imagine the desperation and vulnerability. These scammers have no shame, he was even smiling 🤮.

What impresses me is that there is no condemnation for corrupt government workers: what a nice job!
We are finished in South Africa for real we go through a lot for real.
We not finished....We dont give up and shouldnt.

Why are these people not in Jail ? O I forgot there is no Law in South Africa , just Scammers who can do what they want .
South Africa ranks #7 in the world in organised crime. That is why.
Usually Scammed Americans oops Africans 🤔
Total mess of a country 💔 .

Gone with the wind, as usual.
Im sorry, but women must think for themself, if you got no money, why would you breed more poverty.. condoms is free in hospitals..
The ANC made you and me the fathers. When you pay women to breed - this is the result. I'm very proud that you asked the question. It shows a real Dad - a very rare thing in South Africa. Bless your heart. ❤
Hmm. Got it. Eastern Cape as usual. Vote the ANC OUT
The minute you need to pay for a job 😂
Seriously 😑
The department of education should make awareness or advertisements warning people of such through TV, Radio and Social Media platforms.
You see what FOREIGNERS are doing in South Africa???? 😭😭😭
Foreigners offering jobs to locals..abit toooooo sketchy
This is way beyond heartbreaking, these poor people. Mandela said "look after your people"
Heartbreaking. What happened to South Africa? ??
They tried to scam me in this exact building A YEAR AGO!
Yes... VOTE ANC!
These guys really grew their scamming business tenfold after being exposed on national TV 😂 I see why criminals from all over love this country😂😂 wow
Government seriously needs to do a General Knowledge education drive. These people don't know better.

The police are coming month end, for their share
This is but one scam mentioned. Scamming has become such a big industry in this country
Criminals have more rights than law abiding citizens in South Africa, that's why Benny/James is still sitting there with a smirk on his face. He seems like a foreign national too judging from his accent. This country is fkd.

Mafia state, 0 consequence for anything
Why are they not planting vegetables? Or have some chickens and sell eggs?
Borrowed R6000 to pay for a job.
The R6000 could of helped start something like the vegetables or chickens.
Anyway.
Because they don't want that, they want to work😂😂😂
Can we donate money to Mpho?
I was involved in a similar scam. When I went to the interview they wanted me to pay R300 for a police clearance form.
Cha mina ke my concern now or questions that I have is that nina as Carteblanche kanti these investigations and programs you do, televise and interview victims how does it benefits the communities and victims if at the end you do catch the perpetrators and do nothing about them, because these scams were caught 2019 but yet nothing happened to them they are still doing the same thing and meaning even after this they are still going to do the same thing.

HOW can you con poor people out of the little they have? Why are these fraudsters not behind bars????

Y have kids when you are unemployed 😮😮😮
Exactly my question..
They also scammed me and getting me a job at a dodgy call centre.i can confirm also.
Also have contacts of other people who where scammed.
Hai, we are finished😮 in south africa
Funny thing is thiers still going to vote anc or not vote at all
I will never pity anyone that gets scammed by people selling jobs. These scammers thrive from people not wanting to follow due process. Sies to them all
its easy for you to talk especially when you have never walked a day in these ladies shoes. They are desperate to feed their families
I bet you have a job thats why you can leave comments like these
I know people are desperate but I really don’t feel sorry for people who pay money like Mpho to secure jobs. They are also criminal.
Exactly
Haibo 😮 Matatiele is home mos
I know those two so called James and Valencia big scammers in Ghandi Square😮 forgot the building name though
how do we help these people? they don't deserve what has happened to them.
I hope these stories lead to arrests ultimately

Are these skunks also not responsible for multi million rand stadium that was surposed have been built in Matiele?
