[@dennisndawa6822]

This story has so many questions than answers. From the time it started, I've never missed an episode. Am in Lusaka Zambia. More than anything else, the Bester story has exposed how most African countries are rotten to the core on corruption. Imagine Bester leaving South Africa into in and out of Zimbabwe, into and out of Zambia and finally into Tanzania without Using any document. Just how? A line up of people responsible along the trail must face hush punishment.

[@sakabula2357]

Lol..how??..ask the millions of immigrants going the other way...into SA..we have a clown for a president and that makes SA a circus...just look at this..point proven..BTW...how's things in Zambia..want to be getting out of SA asap...10 hours power cuts every day..business closing down..joblessness and homelessness at a all time high..just sad to see

[@nizanakazwe2887]

Am from Ndola Zambia 🇿🇲 and am equally alarmed by the level of negligence in African countries. I hope our African leaders especially those in the southern region use the Thabo Bester story to really re-strategize and improve our various security systems. If this case is not carefully handled,it will serve as a pioneer in heightened criminal activities here in the southern region .

[@felixmoyoedonmi]

​@@nizanakazwe2887 The primary pathology is that we are referring to megalomaniac idiots as our leaders. If truly these godforsaking idiots are actually our leaders, then we have no chance in hell of creating a meaningful society.

[@bulawanfinancialconsultant506]

A point of correction, the Besters didn't use the Zambia route so I guess you wrong there. They left South Africa from KZN probably into Mozambique where they got their tour guide whom they were caught with. So don't bring Zambia into that mess!

In Nov 2021 he is alleged to have visited the certain family where he used to frequent when he was younger claiming he was out on parole driving a white Porsche. Instead of crushing that idea, the police need to fully explore the CCTV of Nov 2021. I don't know how because g4s claimed they rerecord after 7 days.
