Simphiwe Ngema is accused of being the well known celebrity who visited Thabo Bester before His escape from the Mangaung Correctional Centre (MCC) in Bloemfontein

According to Thabo Bester’s visitors record list, a female celebrity who used to visit him in Prison is allegedly former Muvhango actress #SimphiweNgema.

Another visitor named is Thomas Gumede who visited Thabo more than anyone else. Not Thomas the actor though. @kwa_mammkhize doesn’t appear on recorded list. All this is fake news, says Mamkhize who went on her Instagram stories to clear her name. 

Taking to social media, South African journalist, Salt Entertainment, revealed the Gist to her followers especially to those who on Twitter. 

Salt Entertainment wrote: “Turns out the well known celebrity who visited Thabo Bester before His escape from the Mangaung Correctional Centre (MCC) in Bloemfontein was the one & only “ITS A WRAP” MAMKHIZE.”

Bester, a convicted murderer and rapist, was believed to have died in cell 35 in May last year. However, authorities conceded last month that Bester had escaped prison after GroundUp revealed that the body found in the cell was not his.

An autopsy report showed that the deceased had died due to blunt force trauma to the head and was already dead before the fire in the cell. National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe confirmed that the body had been positively identified and the family notified.
