Think back on the past 10 years and the many things you've done. Now imagine losing more than a decade.That's what happened to Njabulo, Boswell, Bridgette and Thembekile. In this special report from News24 and the Wits Justice Project, we tell the stories of people who were wrongfully convicted. This four-part podcast series explores the human cost when justice is denied.
What would you do if you were sentenced to life behind bars for a crime you did not commit? This was Thembekile Molaudzi's life for 11 years. Now imagine being tortured, made to strip naked and shocked with electric rods by prison officials. That happened to Thembekile twice.

Think back on the past 10 years. How many weddings, graduations, baby showers and funerals have you attended? Maybe in the last decade you've changed cities, jobs, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands or wives? Think about the new things: Instagram, Taxify and Spotify. What about the new things you've bought?
