Showmax to spotlight the chilling story of Thabo Bester
Since GroundUp first revealed that the convicted murderer and rapist did not actually die in Cell 35 but rather was shopping at Woolworths in Sandton City, South Africa has been clamoring for a true-crime drama. That documentary is called Tracking Thabo Bester.
JOHANNESBURG - Showmax #TrackingThaboBester will now go further into the case that had the entire nation wanting to know more.
Since GroundUp first revealed that the convicted murderer and rapist did not actually die in Cell 35 but rather was shopping at Woolworths in Sandton City, South Africa has been clamoring for a true-crime documentary. That documentary is called Tracking Thabo Bester.
In 2023, Thabo Bester was the most searched person in South Africa on Google, followed closely by his co-accused, Dr. Nandipha Magudumana, in fourth place.
The nation was enthralled with their turbulent story of love, murder, corruption, and deceit.
This is the true-crime documentary that South Africa has been waiting for, from the creators of Devilsdorp and the director of Convict Conman.
Tracking Thabo Bester is a four-part investigation into Thabo Bester; why he was called the Facebook rapist and in jail originally; how a celebrity doctor fell in love with a convicted criminal and left her children behind to go on the run with him to Tanzania; and who really died in Cell 35.
The four-part documentary series will debut its first two episodes on March 15, 2024, and its last two on March 22, 2024, exclusively on Showmax.
