It Happened Here (IHH) is a weekly true crime podcast from Ready Freddie Productions, presented by South African journalist Kate Thompson Davy.
The creators of IHH intend this to be a true crime podcast that centres victims and survivors, that peers into the psychology at play, and scratches that crime and grime itch we all sometimes have. Having said that, we do not want to produce 'gore porn' or glorify the criminals we speak about. That is a guiding value of ours, as well as:
If that doesn’t work for you, that’s your call (do better!), but this is not the podcast you are looking for. I’m sure we will fall short of these values at some point, because we’re all flawed and unlearning prejudices. Please do let us know when we go wrong (hello@readyfreddiepod.com), but also, please be gentle. Remember good hearts, bad moments. We are trying our best.

"This podcast is so amazing… from the podcasters voice to the way she tells the stories. Episode 2 had me in tears, but I felt the way she presented the case was so thoughtful. And I appreciate she doesn’t shy away from the tough subjects that NEED a light shine on them!"
Right up there with the best *****

"Fab true crime podcast. I’ve never listened to much South African crime and find it fascinating. Subject matter is dealt with sensitively and the research has clearly been done with the utmost attention to detail. To top it off, the host has a voice born for podcasts! Can’t wait to see how this podcast develops."

The President Hotel in Bantry Bay is a long way from the sweet and simple townhouses we’ve been lurking in recently. It has some 350 rooms and apartments, with tall palm trees positioned around a pool and the exterior painted in startling white just to lean into that Med look. On the 7th of June 2009, security guard Mark Benjamin is standing outside room 54 key in hand, with two others chomping at the bit to get inside. These men are Lester Penteni and Marshall Gobinca. The men had gone to the President Hotel in search of Judge Patrick Maqubela, who was leasing one of the luxury apartments and had been unreachable for a few days…. Twelve years later, the cause of Patrick’s untimely demise remains a matter of debate. One acquittal, one conviction and one appeal later, Patrick’s cause of death remains unexplained.
