The convicted rapist and murderer and the celebrity doctor accused of aiding his infamous prison escape want to watch the true crime documentary before its public debut, arguing it could prejudice their upcoming trial.

Convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester has threatened legal action against MultiChoice if it streams a documentary about his infamous prison escape and subsequent recapturing, Rapportare due to be released on MultiChoice’s streaming service Showmax on 15 March 2024, followed by the final two episodes on 22 March 2024.

Following a lacklustre reaction by the Department of Justice and police, Bester and Magudumana fled South Africa. In a description of the documentary on its website, Showmax says the series will include details like why Bester was called the Facebook rapist and in jail originally, how Magudumana fell for a convicted criminal and left her children behind to go on the run with him to Tanzania, and who really died in Bester’s cell.
