Thabo Bester, the infamous Facebook rapist and murderer, has been making headlines with his dramatic court appearances and prison struggles. From heavy security during his appearances alongside his lover Dr. Nandipha Magudumana to the revelation of his diet and access to attorneys being scrutinized in court, the saga continues to capture public attention.

Amidst the pre-trial proceedings and postponements, the case of Thabo Bester took unexpected turns, with the prosecutor even deeming one court session a 'waste of time.' The suspects, including Bester and Magudumana, face charges of aiding Bester's escape, fraud, corruption, and defeating the ends of justice.

Despite his criminal history, Thabo Bester's health has also been a topic of discussion, with reports stating he refused to eat before court due to lack of diabetes-friendly food, highlighting the challenges he faces in prison. His lawyer raised concerns about the unhealthy food provided to Bester, a diabetic.

The Free State High Court proceedings involving Thabo Bester and his co-accused have been postponed to June, prolonging the legal saga. As the case unfolds, the public remains intrigued by the twists and turns surrounding the notorious convicted rapist and murderer.
