Reporter Annika Larsen has scored a sit-down interview with convicted killer Luyanda Mboniswa, who murdered former first lady Marike de Klerk, with Annika Larsen's compelling 23-minute documentary, The Confession - The Marike de
Klerk
Murder, that is airing on both e.tv and eNCA.
The Confession - The Marike de Klerk Murder will be on e.tv on Friday 7 November at 20:30, and on Sunday 10 November on eNCA (DStv 403) at 22:30.
In The Confession - The Marike de Klerk Murder Annika Larsen travels to Gqeberha, formerly Port Elizabeth, for a sit-down tell-all where Luyanda Mboniswa now lives after he was released after 22 years.
The Confession - The Marike de Klerk Murder revisits the December 2001 murder of Marike de Klerk, the
former first lady whose death sent shockwaves around the world.
The case of the 22-year-old Luyanda Mboniswa,
then employed as a security guard at the complex where de Klerk
resided, was charged with the crime in a violent crime story that gripped the nation's
attention.
Mboniswa initially confessed to involvement but denied being the killer,
attempting to implicate
others, including de Klerk's dance teacher, John Tebus, and her son
Willem. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
After
serving 22 years behind bars, Mboniswa's participation in an offender
rehabilitation program led to his release in August 2023.
Now, through
this documentary,
he speaks openly about the crime for the first time and admits his guilt to Annika Larsen on camera.
—finally admitting
his guilt and, in doing so, lifting the cloud of suspicion that has hung
over others for more than two decades.
"The Confession - The Marike de Klerk Murder offers viewers a rare
opportunity to examine this pivotal moment of truth and explore the
complexities of justice, rehabilitation,
and closure," says e.tv.
