Chidimma Adetshina withdrew from the Miss South Africa pageant in August 2024 after questions arose about her citizenship. Investigations revealed her mother, Anabela Rungo from Mozambique, likely stole a South African woman's identity in 2001 to obtain documents, preventing the real holder from accessing basic services.

Résumé Complet

In late January 2026, authorities transferred Bester from Kgosi Mampuru II in Pretoria to the remote eBongweni Super Maximum Correctional Centre in KwaZulu-Natal, about 750km away, as a routine security measure for high-risk inmates like the convicted murderer and rapist. His lawyers called the move unconstitutional, arguing it blocked fair trial preparations by limiting consultations with their Gauteng team, but Judge John Holland-Muter dismissed the urgent application, ruling the transfer lawful and necessary. Bester, who faked his death in 2022 and escaped before recapture in 2023, now faces upcoming trials from the supermax facility, with many South Africans welcoming the decision for tougher prison oversight.

Thabo Bester, the infamous 'Facebook Rapist,' hoped to return to a Gauteng prison for easier lawyer access. The Pretoria High Court said no, prioritizing his security needs.
