Thabo Bester requests access to a laptop in the Pretoria High Court

Convicted killer and rapist Thabo Bester requested access to a laptop and a modem while representing himself before the Pretoria High Court on Tuesday.

In his argument, he said that he needs the devices to prepare for his trial before the Bloemfontein High Court.

Bester faces escape-related charges alongside his co-accused, Dr Nandipha Maguduma. He is currently in a C-Max prison awaiting trial at the Kgosi Mampuru Prison.

The court ruled his application as lacking urgency and struck it off the court roll

When questioned members of the public were against his request

“He should not get access to a laptop, he is a convicted felon, especially since they just did that major raid, taking away prisons cell phones and staff smuggled in the prisons.”
