Carte Blanche will pay tribute to a heroic police officer who arrested a serial rapist in Pretoria.
On Sunday’s episode, 3 October, the M-Net show will tell the story of Sergeant Catherine Tladi who arrested rapist Sello Abram Mapunya, who is serving over a thousand years in prison.
Mapunya was sentenced in May for multiple rape cases and break-ins around suburbs in Pretoria.
Announcing the episode, Carte Blanche said Tladi used her own tragedy to help restore other women’s lives.
“He is a man who spent five years terrorising women of all ages from Pretoria’s east to western suburbs.

Carte Blanche meets the incredible officer who used tragedy in her own life to restore women’s lives,” the show said.
In the trailer for the episode, Tladi said she wants to be an answer.
“I want to be an answer that I never got to have in my time of need,” she said.
Survivors of the rapist will also be telling their stories on the episode.
