    Remember when people were saying garbage like if Millennials didn’t eat so many avos, they might be able to afford to buy property?

    That was at the height of the ‘hating on Millennials’ craze, which hasn’t really gone away, but Karens have definitely taken over as a new target.

    It’s easy to make light of somebody criticising your smashed avo on toast intake, but South Africa’s avocado theft problem is no laughing matter.

    In a recent segment, Carte Blanche set out to investigate how rampant, and how organised, this is in parts of the country,

    Being high in demand has meant the price has skyrocketed and that has spelt quick money for criminals cashing in on increasingly easy access to what some now call “green gold”.

    With ready markets in towns and cities, it’s in avo farming heartland where large-scale looting originates.

    Carte Blanche travels to Tzaneen in the Limpopo province where virtually every farmer has been affected and we meet the small but savvy army of private security and their bloodhounds that are taking the fight to the green gold grabbers.

    Credit to Carte Blanche for naming the segment ‘Grand Theft Avo’.

    But seriously, when private security and bloodhounds are needed to keep your goods safe, it’s all gone a bit Wild West.

    Before you dive in, bear in mind that there’s a decent chance you’ll get a serious avo craving whilst watching this:
