Bester did tell the people he contacted while in prison that he was jailed but begged them to keep their conversations hushed because he wanted to protect Patrice Motsepe's family from unwanted bad publicity.

Maughan also said she has a list of people Bester was in constant contact with. Karryn dropped a bombshell, stating that a well-known Mzansi celebrity, whom she did not name, was in contact with Bester while he was imprisoned.

"We have been phoning the number of people that have been visiting him and a number of people he listed as contacts, including a well know celebrity that you and I will both know. We have seen her on the television screens."
