[@ikebinda9051]

Thabo Bester is a genius, look how he quotes the law, indeed he does it far better than an attorney, i respect him, he is so eloquent.

[@Daredevil311-g9l]

He quotes law? He is just reaching with context on rights. He has access to resources via hard copy like any other attorney in the country. People are forgetting that he is a high risk prisoner who ended up in Tanzania not via a prisoner exchange program but via an escape. Furthermore U.S law doesn't apply to our legal system because we already have provisions in our legislation that covers the matters he is discussing. U.S case precedent has no bearing in SA matters so no he isn't a genius he can just speak well and read.

​@@shardans1796there are other convicts that's done worse and are high risks.... unfortunately we only know about Thabo's story only. If other inmates of high risk can access the laptops so should he. He can be monitored during the times he uses it or something but he deserves to be treated equally. He makes really valid points according to the law so it really isn't fair,but I guess it doesn't matter what we think at the end of the day he is convicted unfortunately things won't go as he thinks even if it's law.

[@Daredevil311-g9l]

Brilliant at what? Nothing. He is just delaying proceedings. He is a high risk prisoner who has previously used technology to commit crimes or further commit crimes. He has access to info via hard copy which is his right. He wants the electronic equipment and access to the internet for what when the legal books are Infront of him? He wants to use the electronic equipment to initiate other crimes. The judge is not wrong here she would be enabling a habitual criminal to further commit crimes. He isn't a genius he is just stretching the context of rights mentioned in the constitution. Furthermore he is quoting U.S case precedent which doesn't apply in our country lol how is that a genius lol what you are seeing is somebody scrambling and reaching to delay proceedings

[@ramarumopatience1541]

Thabo Bester he is mad

[@ActiveSide-ud3nh]

Unbelievable....this is concerning to witness the conduct of the magistrate during this urgent application. The role of the court is to ensure a fair and unbiased hearing for all parties, yet the magistrate appears to interrupt the accused while he is presenting his case. This raises questions about judicial impartiality. A magistrate’s duty is to listen attentively and make decisions based on legal reasoning, not emotions or personal biases. Unfortunately, the constant interruptions and emotional responses undermine the professionalism expected in a court of law, making it difficult for viewers to distinguish between a formal legal proceeding and a casual debate. Such behavior not only disrupts the presentation of the case but also casts doubt on the ability of the magistrate to provide a fair hearing.

[@MotlokwaThwii]

Did you hear any legal reasoning here?

[@ActiveSide-ud3nh]

@@MotlokwaThwii It doesn't matter what the legal reasoning is. The conduct of the magistrate is unprofessional and she's very emotional. Whether is Bester or any other person, she's just suitable to seat in this preceeding. Read my comments again and stop being emotional over comments.

[@MotlokwaThwii]

@@ActiveSide-ud3nh It doesn't matter what the legal reasoning is?? You're talking nonsense.

[@rockstatus1547]

In case you are being pulled into, mesmerized by his eloquence, LET ME WAKE U UP: Thabo Bester, a convicted South African criminal, was sentenced to prison for the following crimes: Murder: He was convicted of killing his model girlfriend, Nomfundo Tyhulu, in 2011. He stabbed her multiple times in a hotel room. Rape: Bester was also convicted of multiple counts of rape, luring women via social media under false pretenses and then assaulting them. Fraud: He was involved in various fraudulent schemes, including running scams from prison, where he posed as a media mogul and extorted money from people. One of the biggest scams was under the alias "Tom Motsepe." Bester infamously escaped from the Mangaung Correctional Centre in 2022, faking his death in a fire. He was later recaptured in Tanzania in April 2023.
