In a turn of events, Thabo Bester went on a rant after he was given a chance to address the Free State High Court during his appearance today. Bester, his married lover Dr Nandipha Magudumana and seven other accused appeared in court today for the pre-trial hearing.
During his rant, Bester claimed that there was political interference in his case and that he is not treated like other inmates in the country. A well-dressed Bester, who complained that he did not pick his own outfit, told the court that he doesn’t feel equally treated like any other accused person in the country. “First of all, you have the media that has tarnished and destroyed me without facts and evidence, it’s already confirmed that I have a scheme, but no one knows the true facts. It is already confirmed that Thabo Bester is a rapist and a murderer but there’s no evidence,” said Bester.
He said he’s not the worst inmate in this country and doesn’t have the worst charges. “I have three counts, but I am the most popular inmate in this country for no reason. It’s because of the political carnage and issues that I have in my personal capacity that have nothing to do with these legal proceedings. I feel that I’m allowed to address that and in my last point I feel that it’s unfair for these people that are sitting here as my so called accused to be in court when I know very well, they have nothing to do with this. I know very well that they were not present in any of these issues that are in the indictment,” Bester told the court. The convicted convict and murderer also suggested that his release was orchestrated by individuals with political influence.
“The people that are protected by the investigating team are very clearly known because I have more than enough evidence to prove that this thing is much more than just an average G4S officer that just decided to release me one day. It’s highly impossible to do that without political power or high profiles that are involved in this issue. I have been out in South Africa living my life for a whole year and I have not violated any human.
