Convicted criminal Thabo Bester challenges his transfer to a higher-security prison, claiming it undermines his right to a fair trial and legal access.
Convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester is challenging his transfer from Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Centre to eBongweni Super Maximum Facility in KwaZulu-Natal, arguing the move violates his right to a fair trial and legal access.
His legal team claims he wasn’t informed, faces restricted consultation with Gauteng-based lawyers, and that the transfer lacks evidence of misconduct or security risks.
Bester, the seventh accused in an ongoing escape trial, disputes his high-risk classification and calls the move unjustified.
The Department of Correctional Services maintains transfers are routine and based on security assessments, affirming his access to legal representation and court processes.
The Pretoria High Court will hear the urgent application.
