Thabo Bester wants death sentence

Facebook rapist and murderer, Thabo Bester, says he'd rather be sentenced to death than continue to be treated unfairly. He's accusing the correctional services department of infringing his rights to a fair trial and claims his co-accused are innocent. Bester, his alleged partner-in-crime Nandipha Magudumana and seven others appeared in the Free State High Court on charges related to his elaborate escape from prison. eNCA senior reporter Silindelo Masikane has more.

Give that man a Bells for good performance and uNandipha for supporting cast😂😂😂

[sechabarafoneke]

This dude wants to steal another dead body and claim its his body😂😂😂😂asking for death is absolutely crazy

[Rami_A]

Narcissistic behaviour, he really wants to be in charge of things. That’s not how the law works 😂

[bianco_charara]

He should borrow his english to some of our politicians 😂😂

[Stewylewy]

He doesn't deserve a thing.
He is guilty and proven guilty.
The fact that he can stand there acting indignant is a fault of the system.

[steadfastmj]

This guy just like spotlight! Why does he need a public to sign a petition for him to be sentenced to death while he himself CAN easily take his life if he wants to!

[ayandanobatana]

He's scared of pain now no death sentence nix he must face the music.80 cars mnxm, your feet are freezing for now.Ppl that you killed are freezing under ground forever.

Broer at the back couldn't hold his laugh in anymore😂

[IAmChosen]

Nandipha is crying because the more this guy denies the longer she stays in jail and can't have her time to tell her" story "

[sisekelohlongwane]

This guy would have made a good lawyer. Some of his utterances were persuasive, however, baseless as there was no application filed.

[Papito_ZA]

Drama King... judge was like " call Legal Aid Thomas '' .. His monolog brought baby girl Nandipha to tears 😂.. What a performer 🎉

[alexandrekambs]

My guy already got paid for the movie rights for his autobiography. 'The best escape' 😂

[sqrd]

All we hear is I..I....and ...I. He escaped death by burning somebody else's body. Now he wants death penalty!? He just used notes from his advocates regugitating ABC of prisoner rights. He doesn't even understand them. Failing to realise there's no death penalty. Wearing LV is not a basic right. You are already serving time for your other crimes Thabo. Stop this BS. I feel for those who have to be dragged to court to listen to this delude. The guy is a narcissist. The court must appoint him legal representation. SA court are weak. He wouldn't do this in other countries

[laylabruce]

Death sentence is unconstitutional so he has no other choice but to suffer in jail

[kgmams]

South African justice system is becoming a movie i tell u... Offenders have more rights than the offended... There's a family of Katlego Bereng who suffered a real traumatic loss their son killed & his body used as dead Bester, and his family will never see him again. Too much/poorly managed democracy is ruining our nation...

[marykaiconomou]

Why do they give him the stand. He should be silent because he is manipulating now.

[KelebogileMotang]

He wants an easy way out . Manipulate everyone, hell no Katlego is not here to even smell fresh air in the morning..He has the guts to use us to sign the petition at his request.i bet he watches senzo's case

[Argosy]

Most famous prisoner 😂😂😂, this is not Hollywood Bester.

[politelyimpolite]

Haibo this one is finding it hard to deal with consequences neh. If he really wanted to be off'd he can ask one of his prison mates to off him.

[lulamamokone]

Did Thabo Bester forget he was fetched in Tanzanian with his co-accused with fake documents after escaping prison and defrauding multipe people? He is now acting like he is innocent. He is finally scared...this is a reality for most inmates. He has been living under the privilege of the "powers that be" now he is left to fend for himself.
