On Thursday, 27 April, News24 journalist, Karyn Maughan, revealed that Bester had been receiving visits from a “well-known celebrity.” She told Newzroom Afrika that the unnamed celeb is a prominent figure who is a billionaire businesswoman and was listed as Bester’s contact while in prison.
“We’ve been phoning a number of the people who’ve been visiting him, and a number of the people he listed as contacts – including a very well-known celebrity, who we know. We’ve seen her on our television screens.
“And what is fascinating to me is that he seems to have done this thing where he said ‘my name is Tom Motsepe and I am a relative of the Motsepe family, but I am in prison under a fake name because my family’… you know… ‘it is a whole political thing, people can’t know who I am’.
“He was receiving visits from a woman who he claims to be this successful billionaire after the start of his relationship with Nandipha, which began in 2017”.
In 2012, Bester — also known as the “Facebook rapist” — was sentenced for murder and rape at the Leeuwkop Maximum Security Prison, Johannesburg, and was later moved to Mangaung Correctional Services in Bloemfontein.

The reality TV star and author said that she knows nothing about Thabo “Bexter” — seemingly mispronouncing his surname a few times.
“What does my name have to do with Thabo Bester? Please tell the country who is the well-known celebrity involved…does this mean I am the only well-known celebrity in South Africa?
“Stop putting me in these things I am not involved in,” MaMkhize responded.
