As South Africans reminisce about Thabo Bester’s notable “birthday celebrations” in 2018, they are reminded of a viral video that captured the event.
Interestingly, during that time, Bester, purportedly aided by an alleged accomplice, managed to establish an event and production company named 21st Century Media.
This remarkable occurrence unfolded while Bester was incarcerated in the Magaung Correctional Centre situated in Bloemfontein.
Under the alleged pseudonym of Tom Motsepe, Bester presented himself to the public as a New York-based individual, further asserting his supposed familial connection to South African billionaire Patrice Motsepe.
In a display of grandiosity, Bester’s company, 21st Century Media, organized an extravagant launch party at the prestigious Hilton Hotel in Sandton in June 2018.
Coinciding with Bester’s actual birthday, the event garnered attention as it attracted notable celebrities such as Amanda du Pont and Yvonne Chaka Chaka.
Leading personalities Nomzamo Mbatha and Thabile Ngwato served as the master of ceremonies for the glamorous black-tie affair.
