    Simphiwe Ngema says she “wanted answers” from Thabo Bester

    Actress Simphiwe Ngema admits to paying “Facebook rapist” and murderer, Thabo Bester a visit in Mangaung Correctional Centre.

    Last weekend a video of News24 journalist Karyn Maughan being interviewed by Newz Room Africa made rounds on social media, in that interview Maughan revealed that a name of a “well-known celebrity” was on Thabo Bester’s visit records.

    “What’s been fascinating is, because we have the prison records, we have been phoning a number of people who visited him and a number of people he listed as contacts including a very well-known celebrity who you and I will both know, we’ve seen her on the TV screen,” said Maughan in an interview with Newz Room Africa.

    Ngema’s name made the list of those who visited Bester in prison. She went on her Instagram in a now-deleted post admitting to paying Bester a visit, she also added that she was cooperating with authorities.

    Ngema shared that she met Bester who introduced himself as TK Motsepe, and they decided to go to business together. According to Ngema, Bester booked her for events through his 21st Century company.

    Till this day I was never paid for some of the events I was booked for by 21st century. In 2018 I went to the prison to demand answers, it was a difficult time in my life and he owed me money.

    “I’ve been open about everything to those that have been investigating and I have nothing to hide. I am not the person that went there on a regular basis nor was I the last person to visit before his escape.

    “This was five years ago and I have supporting documents that prove I had only visited on one occasion. Dated April 5 2018. The media should stop vilifying his victims and using us as a tool for distraction because we also want answers,” she posted.
