Show Notes
Thabo Bester, convicted murderer and rapist, challenges his status as an escapee, claiming legal release from prison in 2022. He faked his death in a cell fire in 2022 and fled the country, but was later caught and returned to South Africa. Bester argues his constitutional rights are being ignored, comparing his case to Jacob Zumas medical parole. The correctional services department maintains his detention is legal. The judge has yet to rule on his urgent request, leaving Besters future uncertain as his main escape trial approaches.
