Convicted criminal Thabo Bester moved to South Africa’s top-security prison after a risk-based transfer.
Convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester has been moved to South Africa’s highest-security prison, eBongweni Correctional Centre in Kokstad, following a routine transfer based on security risk assessments, officials confirmed.
The move, which relocates him about 700km from his previous facility, Kgosi Mampuru II, aims to ensure safety within the correctional system.
Bester, who escaped from Mangaung Correctional Facility in 2022 and was later captured in Tanzania, retains full legal rights, including access to lawyers, family visits, and court proceedings.
His legal team plans to seek his return to a lower-security facility.
A pre-trial hearing was held in Bloemfontein, with the main trial scheduled for July–September 2026.
