Thabo Bester staged his death and made his brazen escape from the Mangaung Correctional Facility in May 2022. He was arrested in Tanzania earlier this year and faces several charges including defeating the ends of justice, fraud, corruption, violating a corpse, aiding, arson, and more.

During court proceedings on Wednesday, Bester’s State lawyer told the Bloemfontein Magistrates Court that he would also be assisted by advocate Zandile Mshololo, EWN reported. The recently captured fugitive also rose and told the court that he would also be using the services of advocate Dali Mpofu.
