💨 Abstract

The Gauteng High Court will decide on an urgent interdict to halt Netflix's “Beauty and the Bester” documentary about Thabo Bester and Nandipha Magudumana just before its release. The couple, facing charges for Bester's prison escape and fraud, argue the documentary infringes on their right to a fair trial and contains falsehoods. Magudumana had a contractual agreement with Netflix for providing personal archives and requested edits.
