The “Facebook Rapist” Thabo Bester, who is currently standing trial for murder and other crimes, is determined to have new attorneys on his team to push his case at the courts back home.
As his case moved to the State Hig Court, the suspect has noted that he wants the lawyers Sali Mpofu and Zandile Mshololo be be part of his legal team as his instructing attorneys.
It’s unclear exactly what informed his choice, but the reason can be deduced. For one, Dali Mpofu is a famous lawyer known for his public advocacies, and he has handled quite a number of important cases and is generally known in South African society.
For her part, Zandile Mshololo also recently became famous for how well she had seemingly handled her brief in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial. In no time since she popped as one of the attorneys in the case, she had earned the adoration of many South Africans.
Bester had probably heard of her as a result and thought she would be a good fit as part of his legal team. The only issue at the moment is whether both of them would agree to be part of his legal team as the case takes a new turn.
