The Showmax documentary “Unraveling Thabo Bester” has caused legal disputes over the right to fair trial. Thabo Bester and Nandipha Magudumana tried to stop the documentary from being broadcast, arguing that it could affect their right to a fair trial. However, the Johannesburg High Court ruled in Showmax’s favor, stating that the documentary’s release would not interfere with the fairness of their trials. The documentary has sparked public interest and legal discussions about crime, justice, and media’s role in shaping public opinion.
