BLOEMFONTEIN - A trial date has finally been set for Facebook rapist Thabo Bester and his co-accused,

implicated in his elaborate escape from a Mangaung prison.

On 10 February 202, Bester, his partner Nandipha Magudumana and other co-accused, will return to court to face charges ranging from fraud, corruption, aiding and abetting a convict and arson.
