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

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
