Zolile Sekeleni shuffled into the Bloemfontein Magistrates Court on Tuesday. Old and weathered, he looked a little bewildered by all the media attention. Just days before, Sekeleni would have passed for the concerned parent of a daughter accused of being an accomplice in one of the countryโ€™s most daring prison escapes. Now, he and a former prison warden face serious charges relating to the escape, including murder. Itโ€™s a story that began more than a year ago. At its centre, a convicted murderer and serial rapist and the lover accused of assisting his audacious escape from prison, Sekeleniโ€™s daughter, Nandipha Magudumana. Now, Sekeleniโ€™s fate appears intricately tied to that of his daughter, a once successful doctor turned alleged accomplice to Thabo Bester, the now-infamous Facebook Rapist. Their dash for freedom has lifted the lid on a violent, almost unbelievable tale of murder and arson which ended this week in their arrest in Tanzania. Carte Blanche goes behind the headlines of a story thatโ€™s shocked a nation. Your favourite episodes are now available on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://linktr.ee/carteblanchetv
