On 6 December 2017, after CEO Markus Jooste resigned amid an investigation into accounting irregularities, Steinhoff’s share price plunged by 90% in just a week, wiping over R200 billion off Johannesburg's stock exchange, JSE, and off ordinary South Africans’ pensions and investments.

Take a look at the trailer right here.

Steinheist is made by Idea Candy, the producers of Devilsdorp, the record-breaking Showmax Original that is now the most nominated documentary going into the South African Film and Television Awards this weekend. 

So how did a company put blinkers on a country? Steinheist will premiere on Showmax on 22 September 2022, with new episodes every Thursday until 6 October 2022.
