About this listen

Cecilia Steyn has been called “the Charles Manson of South Africa.” The criminal mastermind helmed a quasi-Christian cult and convinced her followers to kill 11 innocent people, without spilling a drop of blood herself. Join host and filmmaker Kurt Kubicek as he travels to the mining town of Krugersdorp, SA to unravel this twisted history through exclusive interviews with the lead detectives, journalists who covered the case, and even the incarcerated murderers themselves.

    The trial picks up steam. On the witness stand, Marinda Steyn claims she is the mastermind behind the murders. Cecilia denies knowing anything about it and Zak Valentine claims he can’t remember. Le Roux and John Barnard’s confessions help the case against EPD, but Marcel’s catharsis becomes the final missing puzzle piece. Collectively the group is sentenced to over two thousand years in prison.

    Police receive a tip that leads them to Zak Valentine. Investigators then connect the dots of the attempted insurance fraud, giving them the leverage they need to arrest Cecilia and Marinda, too. Now, Electus Per Deus is falling apart, as the group’s stories unravel and confessions come out. Another tip leads to a windfall of evidence that may connect Marinda to the murders. But with the members of EPD being held for fraud, and not murder, will the police be able to keep them behind bars?
