News24 subscribers are invited to join our virtual webinar to discuss the trail of deadly crimes and deceit uncovered in the Thabo Bester prison escape saga. You'll hear from a criminologist and the journalist who first reported on his astonishing escape.
Join News24's virtual panel discussion at midday on Wednesday, 10 May, to dissect the disgraceful escape of killer and career criminal Thabo Bester.
What was initially thought to be an inmate's suicide by fire has turned into one of the biggest scandals South Africa's prison system has ever faced. When convicted killer and rapist Thabo Bester walked out of the Mangaung Correctional Centre in May 2022, he believed he'd made a clean break, but a year later, he's back behind bars and - once again - his criminal actions have caught up with him.
Bester and his partner, Dr Nandipha Magudumana, were caught in Tanzania and repatriated to South Africa after they went on the run when GroundUp lifted the lid on his escape from prison.
