JOHANNESBURG - Move over Bonnie and Clyde, there’s a new duo making courtroom drama binge-worthy!
Thabo Bester and Nandipha Magudumana, the so-called “couple in crime,” are trading prison stripes for legal briefs as they battle Netflix over its latest true-crime sensation, “ Beauty and the Bester.”
Today, the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria will hear an application to interdict the streaming platform from airing the documentary.

The matter was initially scheduled for Tuesday before Magudumana joined the application late.
The pair claims the documentary is riddled with inaccuracies and violates their constitutional rights.
Bester, a convicted murderer and rapist, escaped from a privately-run prison in May 2022.
He allegedly staged his own death at the Bloemfontein facility and was allegedly helped by his girlfriend Nandipha Magadumana.
The pair were eventually captured in Tanzania in April 2023, before being returned to South Africa.
