A month ago, Ashley Oosthuizen from George, South Africa, turned 23…. celebrating her birthday for the second year running in a Thai prison, for a crime she allegedly had nothing to do with. According to people who worked with her, she was given a life sentence after being made to sign her name on a delivery package that didn’t belong to her. This Sunday Carte Blanche finds out more.
Presenter Masa Kekana says: “Ashley Oosthuizen’s story is a reminder of the other side of the fairytale of moving abroad for a gap year or more. It brings great adventure, experience, and exposure to the world. But spur-of-the-moment decisions made in that time can affect you for a lifetime.”
You can watch Carte Blanche on Sunday 3 April in South Africa on DStv Now or stream it overseas on Showmax International in most…
