Carte Blanche corrects statement made to NEWS

Carte Blanche now says they were contacted by a resident and not Edenvale CPF chair.

Carte Blanche has asked the NEWS to correct the statement it made in response to why information that the cases had been reported to national departments was omitted from the episode which was aired on July 19.

Ms Ingrid Engelbrecht the publicity manager for M-Net original productions previously commented to the NEWS that Mrs Linda McKenzie had approached Carte Blanche for assistance.

“A resident of Edenvale originally contacted Carte Blanche, and they then put Carte Blanche in touch with Mrs Linda McKenzie,” Ms Engelbrecht said.
