  • Complex

    Excellent, complex, detailed South African investigative crime show. In season 1, the reporters do not accept what the accused tells them at face value — they investigate it and, at times, they even catch him lying. But is he guilty of the crimes he was convicted of? In season 2, it’s a truly bizarre, maze-like trail into a high school teacher murdered by a hitman. Everyone who speaks to the reporter is scared for their lives.

  • Unnecessarily drawn out

    So little actually happens in this podcast, but they have somehow managed to stretch it out over 8 episodes. Furthermore the parts where the host talks to the journalist sounds so awkwardly scripted and not conversational at all. I am very proud to see a half decent true crime podcast come out of South Africa, but needs some improvement.

  • Brilliantly produced and totally gripping

    Africa is not known for podcasts at all, much less well-produced investigative stories. This series changes all that totally. South African author and journalist, Paul McNally, dives deep into rural South Africa and tells an incredible story of some of the most forgotten people on earth. Highly reccommend.
