In 2003, 8-year-old Sasha-Leigh Crook disappeared from her grandparents' garden. Nine days later her body was discovered, and a suspect was arrested almost immediately. Although justice seemed to have been served, questions still linger as to whether more could have been done by authorities to possibly save the child's life.

True crime

In 1997, a shocking intimate partner murder shook the country. The victim had feared for her life and then been killed with an axe in her own home. The offender was known, but it would be the outcome of the case that, even today, is questionable.

Episode 155 The Murder of Sonia Schwarz

Introducing the "So What?" podcast 

If I say “Ruda Landman” I’m pretty sure that for most South Africans the Carte Blanche music and Sunday nights come to mind. For years, Ruda was, along with her colleagues at Carte Blanche, the source of hot topic reporting and important insights, and just because she’s no longer on the show, doesn’t mean that incredible journalistic brain has stopped assessing the world in its unique way. Considering her husband JP Landman is political economic analyst, I’m pretty sure the big issue delving continues to this day in the Landman home. Imagine what that dinner table conversation is like! Well, the Landmans thought their dinner table conversations were pretty interesting too, so they started recording them, and now, it’s a podcast!

The first 11 episodes were literally recorded around their dinner table so you’ll hear a little difference in the audio quality when they move into studio conditions, but the conversations and insights are incredible throughout. I highly recommend finding the So What podcast wherever you listen to True Crime South Africa and get that familiar voice back into your ears.

Introducing We Filmed a Zoo

In November 1992, the Taljaard family were settling down for the night in their home in Vereeniging, but not everyone on the property was getting ready for bed. Two figures stood in the shadows, waiting for their chance, and they were about to permanently alter the course of countless lives.
