Escorted by the legendary Rooivalk combat helicopter, Carte Blanche travels to a recently-captured military camp deep in the tropical forests north of Beni in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. John Webb gains exclusive access to the SANDFโ€™s forward-operating bases in the infamous Triangle of Death in North Kivu Province as we visit our soldiers on the frontline in the battle against ADF rebels. We find soldiers who have distinguished themselves both in the field of battle as well as in crucial combat support roles, and SANDF pilots operating as part of the UN's aviation unit who have fast developed a reputation for skill and courage. Carte Blanche also meets the SANDF's General Derrick Mgwebi who was appointed to head the overall UN peacekeeping operation in the DRC - still the largest peacekeeping mission in the world.
