Manaka Ranaka recommends that the South African Film Industry adapt Thabo Bester’s prison escape into a film.
The actress isn’t the first to speak out about the adoption, but she looks to be more deliberate, since she has already hired Dineo Langa and Kevin Khathutshelo in the parts of Thabo and his purported lover.
Manaka believes that if the industry does not embrace the now-international tale, Americans will certainly adopt it and profit from it.
“Southaaaaaaaaa. The Casting Director in me has spoken!!! @dineomoeketsi @kevin_khathusthelo. If you know you know. #ThaboBester #FacebookRapist #nandiphamagudumana @netflixsa do the right thing before Amelika does,” she captioned post.
Rapist and murderer Thabo Bester escaped prison since 2022 but was finally caught in April 2023 in Tanzania, alongside his alleged lover Dr Nandipha who aided his escape from the prison.
