Convicted murderer and rapist Thabo Bester addressed Judge Cagney Musi, after another legal representative withdrew from Bester’s case.

"I cannot divulge any information with my attorney on the alleged escape. I do not believe it was an escape, but whatever the facts are, I cannot consult freely with any attorney in C Max"

After Bester put up his hand and requested to addressed the court, Musi allowed Bester a few minutes to speak. “It doesn’t seem like I’m allowed to consult with my legal representation as I wish. Even the client and attorney privilege of confidentiality is a challenge. Musi then asked him if he is not allowed to have any consultation with his legal representative in the absence of employees of the Department of Correctional Services.

Judge Musi then explained that Bester is without representation. Should his future legal representative face the challenges Bester referred to, “then and only then you can bring your application”.After requesting a second opportunity to address the court, Bester said that he was having trouble obtaining legal documents pertaining to his current incarceration. “I requested it from the National Commissioner, but was told that I do not have access to it.
