The Trouble with Africa
Has the largest foreign aid agency, the World Bank, kept the African continent in a cycle of debt and corruption, or is Africa responsible for its own woes? Long time World Bank official, Robert Calderisi’s book The Trouble with Africa explores Africa’s seeming continuous regression and the controversial view that the real problem on the continent exists because of poor governance and bad leadership.

SA Goes For Air Race Glory
It’s probably like being on spin cycle in a washing machine. Yet, it takes skill, speed and sheer guts to gain glory in the Red Bull Air race. Dubbed the Formula 1 of the skies, this international event pitches the world’s top 12 aerobatic pilots against each other in a death-defying race.
This year there’s a rookie in the pack – South Africa’s own national champion, Glen Dell. Carte Blanche takes to the skies in Abu Dhabi for the first leg of the race.
