Thabo Bester is making one last appeal to the courts ahead of his prison break trial next year, but South Africans think that he has lost the plot.
Thabo Bester has appealed to the court to give him back his laptop to prepare for his trial, but South Africans are tired to his delay tactics. Frikkie Kapp.Bester claims that his laptop and other belongings were unfairly taken away from him when he was rearrested in Tanzania.The convicted rapist was nabbed in Tanzania in April 2023, one year after his infamous escape from Mangaung. Bester escaped from the Correctional Centre by faking his death. His trial has been set down for 10 February 2025.
“Why are they even entertaining his demands? He was convinced and sentenced already. No matter how much he prepares nothing is going to change he will remain in jail forever.”“This guy always thinks he is something special. He forgets that he is a criminal🙄.”@happsmokh1 was straight to the point: “This guy is crazy. No laptop, no phone. His rights are limited. He needs to know that he is not suspect but a convicted rapist and murder. He must rot in hell.”Briefly News recently reported that the Bester, Dr Nandipha Magudumana and seven other will appear in court.
The matter has been earmarked for 19 February 2025, and it is related to his escape from prison in 2022.Byron Pillay is a Current Affairs Editor at Briefly News.
