Synopsis
Cutting Edge is a 24-minute investigative programme for Africans produced by Africans in African languages.
The programme depicts the story of a South African youth – thereby giving voice to the usually voiceless ordinary youth of Mzansi.
Development journalism distinguishes Cutting Edge from other similar programmes in the country: confrontational but shying away from the aggressive approach, fair but also challenging the status quo.
The show aims to inform, educate, empower and uplift tomorrow’s nation. It presents the realities of life including corruption, health, education, labour, politics, arts and culture and sports.
The team reports the story behind the story of the day – telling it like it is.
Cutting Edge is without a presenter - instead it is driven by content and narrative.
