"Tracking Thabo Bester" Breaks Records: A True Crime Docuseries Captivating South Africa

 

A seismic shift occurred in the world of documentaries with the March 15th release of "Tracking Thabo Bester" on Showmax. This gripping true-crime mini-series, based on the lives of South African medical doctor Nandipha Magudumana and her co-accused partner Thabo Bester, has captivated viewers across the country, achieving a record number of first-day views and surpassing the previous record-holder, "Rosemary's Hitlist."

"Tracking Thabo Bester" offers a chilling insight into the case of Thabo Bester and Nandipha Magudumana, delving deep into the details of their crimes, their relationship, and the events leading up to their arrests. Despite a legal challenge from the convicted criminals themselves, Showmax and Multichoice made the bold decision to air the four-part documentary series, shedding light on one of South Africa's most infamous criminal cases.
The docuseries highlights the escape of Thabo Bester and the subsequent arrest of Nandipha Magudumana, providing viewers with an in-depth look into the high-profile case that has gripped the nation. The controversial subject matter has led Bester and Magudumana to instruct their legal teams to take action, launching an application with the Free State High Court to stop the airing of the docu-series.
However, this move has not dampened the public's interest in the gripping story, as viewers continue to tune in to Showmax in record-breaking numbers. "Tracking Thabo Bester" has undoubtedly captivated South African audiences, with its compelling storytelling and unflinching exploration of a case that shocked the nation.
With its record-breaking viewership, the documentary has solidified its place as one of the most-watched and talked-about true-crime series in recent history, demonstrating the power of gripping storytelling and the public's insatiable appetite for true crime content.
