A new three-part documentary by the producers of Devilsdorp on the fall of Steinhoff highlights not only the infamous dealings of Markus Jooste but also how corruption in the private sector all too frequently flies beneath the radar.
The first episode of the docuseries by production company Idea Candy and directed by Richard Finn Gregory, was released on Showmax on 22 September, with the next two parts set to drop on the following Thursdays. The series profiles Markus Jooste, whose years of corruption led to investigations into “accounting irregularities” and his resignation as CEO in 2017, which wiped billions of rands from the JSE – the biggest corporate scam in South African history.
