Carte Blanche Investigates Disturbing Allegations Against Private Security Company

The upcoming episode of Carte Blanche, airing on Sunday, 24 May, shines a light on a private security company operating in Durban’s CBD, following a violent incident that was captured on camera. The footage allegedly shows masked officers beating a homeless man with sjamboks before forcing him into the back of an armed response vehicle and driving away.

The incident has sparked widespread concern, with activists claiming that this is part of a broader pattern of abuse targeting vulnerable people living on the streets. The man involved has reportedly not been seen since, raising questions about the actions of the security company and the authorities.

Stalled Investigations and Mounting Questions

With investigations said to have stalled, concerns are growing over whether authorities are turning a blind eye to alleged acts of violence carried out in the name of maintaining safety and order in the city centre. The incident has left many wondering if those in power are prioritising safety and order over the rights and well-being of vulnerable individuals.
