Thabo Bester seeks court order to halt Netflix documentary
The Star
|September 09, 2025
URGENT BID
WITH just a few days to go before the launch of the three part documentary true-crime series, Beauty and the Bester, convicted killer and rapist Thabo Bester is heading to court today in an urgent bid to stop Netflix from releasing the much anticipated series.
The matter has been set down before the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, where Judge Sulet Potterill is expected to hear the matter.
Bester wants the court to interdict Netflix from releasing the documentary on Friday, claiming that the series contains inaccurate, defamatory and unsubstantiated claims and violates his and his life partner Nandipha Magudumana’s constitutional rights.
Both Bester and Magudumana are behind bars, awaiting trial on several charges after they were arrested in 2023 in Tanzania.
