ABOUT
The Facebook Rapist, the Celebrity Doctor and the Escape from Cell 35
News of the sensational prison escape of the murderer and ‘Facebook rapist’ Thabo Bester, assisted by his lover, celebrity doctor Nandipha Magudumana, shocked South Africa. Andy Kawa (author of Kwanele, Enough!), who recently won her Concourt appeal against the South African Police Force for negligence, joins a panel with Marecia Damons and Daniel Steyn, the journalists who first exposed the scam. They tell the full story, from Bester and Magudumana’s early lives and their unlikely love affair, his faked death, and the tragedy surrounding their many victims, to a web of complicity in South Africa’s broken prison system.
