Private security company Fidelity ADT has offered a R100 000 cash reward for information that leads to the arrest of Thabo Bester.
Bester, also known as the Facebook Rapist, has been on the run since it came to light he had escaped from Mangaung Correctional Centre in May 2022.
Earlier this month, it was discovered Bester was not only alive and free, but living in palatial homes all over the wealthy neighbourhoods of Johannesburg. In 2022, Fidelity CEO Wahl Bartmann put up a R100 000 award for information leading to the arrest of a man who was setting fire to plush homes in the northern suburbs.Bartmann said he hoped this reward would be just as helpful.Inside the lavish home Dr Nandipha Magudumana shared with rapist Thabo Bester and her daughters
He added the department only received the final report on 22 March 2023, and informed the public about the escape on 25 March."Today is 30 March and we are informing the public [again]. So, you can check the speed that we're dealing with this," Thobakgale said.
