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.
