When the former head of the SAPS investigative psychology section, Dr Gerard Labuschagne, interviewed Thabo Bester in 2011, he “found him to be a smart guy, intelligent, very well spoken.”
He would lure models and victims by using multiple aliases promising lucrative modelling jobs. However, he would pounce on his victims, stealing their belongings and some attacks led to rape.
“[When I interviewed him in 2011] he was not at the level of what we’re seeing now, and it seems he’s done a lot better in prison than he did out of prison in terms of the financial crimes. When he was free, he would lure people to steal their laptop and phones — very petty theft and robbery,” said Labuschagne.
The woman Labuschagne referred to is reportedly celebrity doctor Dr Nandipha Magudumana — a Mail & Guardian Top 200 young South African finalist in 2018.
