Thabo Bester (born 04 May1984 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South African) who also goes by the name Thomas Motsepe, is a South African convict who escaped from prison after faking his death in 2022.
Bester is from Gauteng, Johannesburg South Africa. Growing up, Thabo Bester lived with his grandmother who raised him.
In 2011, Thabo Bester got convicted for raping two women after luring them to a hotel using Facebook. A year later, he was sentenced for raping and murdering his girlfriend, Nomfundo Tyhulu.
On May 3, 2022, department of correctional services claimed Bester had died after a fire had broken out in his single cell at about 03.35am.
However, two months later after his death, a man who looks like Bester was spotted shopping in Woolworth in Sandton City.
According to sources, Thabo Bester was born in November 5, 1979. This means he is 42 years old as at May 2022.
However, other sources suggest that he is 33 years old and was born in 1988.
The girlfriend of Thabo Bester is said to be aesthetic Dr Nandipha Mogudumana. The celebrity doctor is also known popularly as Dr Nandi.
Since Dr Nandi made headlines after she was spotted shopping with the Facebook rapist, many believes she is in a relationship with Bester.
Also, after the staged passing of Thabo, Dr Nandi went to claim his body saying she was his wife. But was suddenly seen with him shopping at Woolworths in June last year.
Since the story of Dr Nandipha relationship with Thabo broke out, the couple is said to be on the run.
On 3rd May 2022, it was reported that he had died in his cell due to what was believed to have been a fire breakout. However, authorities started raising eyebrows about his death late last year. In March 2023, the police launched an investigation after further tests revealed the wanted criminal was not deceased.
