Convicted murderer and rapist Thabo Bester wants the High Court in Pretoria to declare the Department of Correctional Services decision to transfer him from Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Centre to one of the countrys tightest prisons, eBongweni in Kokstad in KwaZulu-Natal, unconstitutional and invalid.
He is set to challenge his prison transfer in the Pretoria High Court next week, after he was moved from the Kgosi Mampuru maximum security facility in Pretoria to the eBongweni Super Maximum Security Correctional Centre in Kokstad, KwaZulu-Natal.
The Department of Correctional Services confirmed that Bester was moved, saying the said offender transfer was guided by security risk assessments.
