Meanwhile, the Bloemfontein High court has postponed the pre-trial of rapist and prison escapee Thabo Bester to June 5 this year.

Bester, his girlfriend Dr Nandipha Magudumana and seven co-accused are tried for Bester’s escape at the Mangaung correctional facility in May 2022.

The facebook rapist was serving life sentence at the time and was apprehended with his lover in Tanzania last year.

According to the TimesLIVE, there was no loved-up reunion for Bester and his girlfriend before the matter resumed as, Magudumana walked past her lover and embraced her father Zolile Sekeleni, who is a co-accused.

She spent most of the time before court started reading a Bible on her lap.

Bester, Magudumana and Zanda Moyo remain in custody while the rest of the accused are out on bail of R10,000 each.
