Netflix documentary titled "Beauty and the Bester".

Lukho Mkwedi Phuthi is joined in Legal Junction by Mr. Pholoso Seakamela to discuss the high-profile legal case involving Dr. Nandipha Magudumana and Thabo Bester. They focus on the pair’s urgent legal attempt to interdict and prevent the airing of the Netflix documentary titled "Beauty and the Bester," which explores Bester’s prison break and alleged involvement of Dr. Nandipha in his escape. Their legal team argued that the documentary is defamatory and could prejudice ongoing legal proceedings. However, the South African High Court dismissed the bid shortly before the documentary aired, ruling that the issues covered were already public knowledge and that the couple could still pursue defamation claims afterward. The documentary is now available on Netflix despite the legal challenges.
