The confusion that has clouded a handful of people is how did Bester managed to register to a tertiary institution (Damelin), opened a bank account, bought cars and obtained a driving license without a valid South African Identity Document.

“So he went to school without a birth certificate? He matriculated without a birth certificate? He got a bank account without an ID number? He has a criminal record without an ID ???” wrote Sir Boring

“He only went to school until grade 5. Schools then were allowed to register a person with just date of birth” wrote Queeny

“So home affairs didn’t come to schools ? Like the health department does to check if your shots are up to date ???” wrote Sir Boring

However, journalist and radio host Xoli Mngambi further explained that even though the Bester does not have a valid South Africa Identity Document. But the Thabo Bester belong to him as a convicted rapist and murderer.

“[CLARIFIED] The name, #ThaboBester, does belong to the convicted rapist and murderer. However, the reason Bester does not possess a valid SA ID document, dates back to the years his biological mother was not captured in the books of Homes Affairs’s National Population Register.” wrote Xoli Mngambi
