MANGAUNG PRISON ROYALS Thabo Bester and Nandipha operated like untouchables, funding guards, sending inmates R500 weekly like he was prison SASSA, and living with special privileges including a grocery-stocked cell and fast food like McDonald’s and Steers. “Bester was the ATM of our cell-block. Anyone in need of cash would go to him… He had it all. Did not eat prison food.” I’d like to know how prisoners are able to “rent” their cells. Wild. Excelled work here by SABC, not that Netflix rubbish.

Thabo Bester’s lawyer says he may sue Netflix for damages. The High Court in Pretoria has thrown out his urgent bid to stop a documentary about his alleged prison escape. The application was brought by Bester and Nandipha Magudumana. Meanwhile, Media Monitoring Africa says it's no surprise that the court dismissed the duo's bid to stop Netflix from airing the ‘Beauty and the Bester’ documentary.

Thabo Bester says he is “being moved from left to right” and “not given any rehabilitation,” treated “as if I am supposed to be punished,” and that labeling him as having escaped “takes away the presumption of innocence.” He adds he “picked up four illnesses because of solitary confinement.”

Adv Tembeka Ngcukaitobi: “We are asking for a non-custodial punishment, and no one can sensibly say that other forms of punishment do not constitute punishment...you have a range of penal options that would reflect the society’s disapproval.” This is quite interesting coming from Adv Ngcukaitobi. In 2021, during the Zondo Commission/Jacob Zuma ConCourt proceedings, Ngcukaitobi explicitly told the court that the two years imprisonment sought by the Zondo commission was a serious penalty that took into consideration Zuma’s seniority and political standing. He further said the court should consider Zuma’s influence in society and the public nature of his disobedience. And on the question of a suspended sentence, Ngcukaitobi was unambiguous: “The question really is how long Mr Zuma should go to prison for? That he should go to prison should be clear.” To reiterate, in the Julius Malema case today, Ngcukaitobi is arguing that a custodial sentence is not the only option, that there’s a range of penal options available and that imprisonment actually achieves the opposite of what society wants. Yet in the Zuma matter, his position was the exact reverse. He told that court that a fine was out of the question, and that imprisonment was a “clear, effective remedy.” He specifically argued that a suspended sentence was inappropriate for Zuma, and that the only real question was how long Zuma should go to prison, not whether he should. So, the same advocate who argued there was essentially one appropriate punishment, i.e. direct imprisonment for Zuma, is now criticising the prosecution for allegedly thinking there is only one punishment for Malema. In Zuma’s case, whom he stringently presented as a former head of state, defying the highest court in the land, Ngcukaitobi pushed for the harshest custodial outcome available, using Zuma’s status as an aggravating factor. In Malema’s case, he is now arguing that imprisonment is counterproductive and that a person’s status should be irrelevant.

Mmmm 🤔🚨: How many of you actually think Thabo Bester is naturally intelligent? Imagine escaping a maximum security prison and moving around like nothing happened?? 😭 That alone is madness… This same guy goes to court, starts defying his weak own lawyers, switches the script mid-case and begins representing himself like he passed LLB at Wits overnight Like listen to how articulate he is… confident, calculated, speaking like someone who knows the system inside out 😳 T Now the question is… is this pure intelligence, or is it a dangerous mix of confidence, exposure and knowing how broken the system is? . Because not everyone can do that… but also, not everyone gets the same "opportunities" to do that 😅

BREAKING: Teacher Enoch Burke thrown into prison van and moved suddenly to Castlerea Prison On Sunday morning teacher Enoch Burke was told to gather his belongings and bring them to a prison van. He was then put into the van and brought on a two-and-a-half-hour journey to a new location, Castlerea Prison. At no point was he told where he was being brought, or for what reason. Upon arrival in Castlerea Prison he was consigned to a filthy committal landing. Prison authorities told him he was being given a job “in the kitchen.” Enoch Burke has a job. He is a teacher of German and History at Wilson’s Hospital School. He was taken from that job in 2022 and thrown into a prison cell by corrupt judges after he refused to endorse transgender ideology. His incarceration is an abomination. Enoch Burke’s removal from Mountjoy Prison is a violation of the order of Judge Brian Cregan of 19 January. That order specifically stated that Enoch Burke was to be detained in Mountjoy Prison in Dublin until further order of the High Court: “AND IT IS ORDERED that the Defendant be conveyed by the Commissioner and Members of An Garda Síochána to Mountjoy Prison and that he thereupon be lodged in Mountjoy Prison to be detained therein until he purges his contempt and is discharged pursuant to further Order of this Court”. There has been no further order. Enoch Burke, an innocent man, is now detained in Castlerea Prison without lawful authority. The removal to Castlerea Prison is deeply prejudicial to Enoch Burke as he is now over two hours from the courts where cases relating to his unjust incarceration are ongoing. Today Dr Isaac Burke raised this urgent matter before Judge Brian Cregan in the High Court. Judge Cregan prevaricated and obfuscated in response. He denied any knowledge of the development and showed little interest in the violation by the prison authorities of his own order. It is a dangerous state of affairs when a matter of this importance, the unlawful detention of an innocent man, can be taken so lightly by a High Court Judge.

This South African man raped 2 women and murdered his girlfriend. A model named Nomfundo Tyhulu. He lured his victims on Facebook. Posed as a talent agent offering modeling jobs. Got them alone in hotel rooms. Then attacked them. 😱 He was convicted in 2012. and sentenced to life in prison. His name is Thabo Bester. South Africa called him the Facebook Rapist. Then in 2017, while already behind bars, a new woman started visiting him in prison. A celebrity doctor named Nandipha Magudumana. 100,000 Instagram followers. Magazine features. Champagne lunches. She fell in love with a convicted rapist and murderer. Together they built a plan. On May 3, 2022 at 4am, Bester walked out of a maximum security prison. Here is how. Someone sourced a dead body. Smuggled it into his cell inside a TV cabinet. They set it on fire. The cameras had a "power interruption" that night. The guards saw nothing. The body burned beyond recognition. South Africa officially declared Thabo Bester dead. Suicide by fire. Case closed. For a full year nobody looked for him. He was legally dead. He moved into a mansion in the wealthy Johannesburg suburb of Hyde Park. Drove luxury cars. Took holidays. Changed his name to TK Nkwana. Ran a fake property company with Nandipha, scamming people out of deposits for construction projects that never existed. A journalist at GroundUp named Marecia Damons refused to believe the official story. She kept asking questions. Published three articles. Eventually DNA tests confirmed the burned body in that cell was not Bester. It was a man named Katlego Bereng Mpholo. He had been beaten to death before the fire was set. A separate murder. Nandipha's (the new woman and the celebrity doctor) own father was charged with murder for helping source the body. When the story broke publicly, Bester and Nandipha fled South Africa. Interpol tracked them to Tanzania. Arrested in Arusha. Brought back in handcuffs. Netflix even made a documentary. They tried to block it. A judge rejected their petition. The prison was run by a British private security company called G4S. They charged him. They missed him. An innocent man was burned to death in his place. This happened in Africa.

There Should Be People Going to Prison Michael Laws, 8 Dec 2022: "We now know that whether you're vaxxed or not, it doesn't stop transmission, and the question you ask, is when did they know that? And if the answer to that question is we knew it before we put in the mandates, there should be people going to prison. Because that would then mean that you purposefully lied to all of us."
