PODCAST | The legend of André Stander: lies, greed and dark secrets

In the 1980s, the news-starved South African public became enthralled by the story of a police captain who had undertaken a bank robbing spree in his spare time.

André Stander would become a name synonymous with criminal antics, prison breaks and international manhunts.

In episode 49 of True Crime South Africa, we delve into the truth behind Andre Stander and his gang of accomplices.
