"What has been fascinating is because we have the prison records, we have been phoning the number of people that have been visiting him and a number of people he listed as contacts. Including a well know celebrity that you and I will both know, we have seen her on the television screens. And what is fascinating to me is that he seems to have done this thing where he said my name is Tom Motsepe and I am a relative of the Motsepe family but I am in prison under a fake name because my family... you know... it is a whole political thing, people can't know who I am." said Karryn Maughan, News24
Reportedly, Bester was also heavily involved in the entertainment industry whilst in prison, which in retrospect does not come as surprise after he hosted a high end, glamorous gala dinner where million of rands were raised. And he had even very prominent people singing him happy birthday.
"And he was heavily involved in the entertainment industry, to the extent that this 21st century media company into which several million rand was sunk. He was able to have a gala dinner in that... you know at that entity and have a number of completely unwitting people" said Karry Maughan, News24
Tweeps are already suspecting a number of TV personalities including media personality and actress, Pearl Thusi. Singer and TV reality star Kelly Khumalo, singer and song writer Yvonne Chaka Chaka amongst other names.
