A businesswoman has revealed how Facebook rapist and killer Thabo Bester wooed her from prison by pretending to be a New York-based billionaire – a year after he and Dr Nandipha Magudumana began their relationship.
The woman, whose name is known to News24, but who has requested to remain anonymous, says she visited Bester in the Mangaung Correctional Centre (MCC) after he finally admitted to her that he was not billionaire "Tom Motsepe", a persona he allegedly used to conduct multiple scams – including pretending to address a gala dinner in Sandton from New York, while he was actually in jail.
"For me, going and visiting this prison and seeing him in jail had put to bed the fantasies that he placed in my head about who he was and who he was projecting himself to be, which was completely removed from the truth," she said.
