It means a lot that you covering a case from my country again. This case is everywhere and all I can say it's messed up and bizarre. This trial is still ongoing and the only update is that they were denied bail. Your pronunciations are better than most creators. Thanks for all your content❤
For anyone ever wondering. Please don't be scared to visit South Africa, it's a wonderful place with so much to see! There's crime everywhere in the world, just stay in the good parts and you'll be fine! Cheers 🇿🇦
OMG I’m a Safa 🇿🇦 and for months this case has captured the country. As a fan of yours, it’s such a cool moment seeing you cover this. Condolences to the families 🌻 “Greed got the Bester of her??” 😂stop it!

Adrian I'm South African🇿🇦 and a huge fan of yours. This was so well done & pronunciation of names & places accurate. Thank you & keep researching & sharing the cases with us, the way you do - accurate info & always with empathy🙏😊
Just FYI, South Africa abolished the death penalty in '94 so Thabo wouldn't have had to negotiate against a death penalty (13:42). Otherwise, thanks for the work into covering this case. It's quite detailed and legal proceedings still developing so I know you had to be succinct to keep it within the normal time frames of your videos 😊
Im South African and I watch your channel religiously. I was hoping you would cover this and thankful that you have. 🙏🏾 This bizarre story had South Africa in a chokehold for so long, and exposed what joke our justice system and some penitentiaries are. 🙆🏾♀️
The justice system might be corrupt, but I have huge respect for the press! Seriously impressive. Without them, this pair would have ridden in the sunset, scheming and frauding.. What a horrible thought, what a crazy case. Cool & windy greetings from Finland :)
So oblivious to how little y’all are informed and oblivious to what the other parts of the world are equally if more dangerous to what South Africa is made up of be
If you watch so religiously then as a fellow South African you should know better.. way more heinous crimes occurred way more in so called first world countries!!! But clearly you not plugged
I had already guessed that his girlfriend was a stupid ass, simply by being his girlfriend. But the idea she honestly thinks anyone would believe Thabo kidnapped her from inside of his jail cell and forced her to coordinate his escape just really exceeds the level of stupidity I can handle today.
Adrian - your information about the level of crime in South Africa and the incompetent Minister of Police is spot on. Gender Based violence has, as you correctly say, reached epidemic proportions. Our government does not care about the people of SA. Thank you for your investigation into this.
Hey Adrian, thanks so much for covering the Thabo Bester saga. I was one of the many people pestering you to cover it and I must say you did an excellent job as usual. Thanks! As someone who works in the GBV space in South Africa, the incompetence of some of the police and correctional service officials is very disheartening. What became very obvious though is that South Africans rally together with humour when facing a common enemy. You should have seen the memes that were circulating on social media about Thabo Bester 🤣and we were all on the look out for him and his accomplices when they were on the run.
I hope you feel like you've "made it". Reading the comments, it dawned on me just how far reaching your content is. Ive been watching you for a while now and watched your content evolve and get better. Out of the handful of true crime content creators, you have the most diverse and respectful stories. Congratulations for making so many feel seen. 😊
Excited you covered this case. Thabo and Nandipha were scamming people from prison and when he got out, even people within the medical circles were scammed. They lived a lavish life and Nandipha was the front for the business so people trusted her. She exposed her two girls to a serial rapist for what really? Would be interesting to see how this story unfolds.
Hey Adrian. Just wanted to thank you for your hard work, and efforts in bringing light and life, to those who have met horrible, untimely ends. Your narration is gentle, kind and caring to those who deserve it, you do a wonderful job in telling the victims story. Thank you for your content. From Australia
Sir Adrian, thank you for bringing us these stories from around the globe, because many, including myself, would probably not hear of most of these cases. Now regarding Thabo: To be able to bring a dead body into a prison, placed it in a cell, then set it on fire to coverup an elaborate escape, speaks to the level of corruption within the prison management system. For, there is no way this could have been pulled off without the complicity of multiple prison officials. What a disgrace on the prison management.
Sad how people get caught by scammers. I feel sorry for Nomfundo and also his mom. She seems like a good person and seems like she did all she could to help him. Shocking, sad😢
One thing I love about Coffeehouse Crime is that the audio is always mixed perfectly, and I've been subbed since episode 1. There's never once been a cut to a ridiculously loud or quiet clip. That's super rare and much appreciated!! 🙏
Pretty sad when someones loved one ends up burned in some random criminals cell beaten and burned. Its almost unbelievable that they would rather let a murder walk free than to bother confirm it was actually him and not until the public rumor mill got going did they actually investigate. Thanks for covering this case and the most up to date information
Anyone else give Adrian the thumbs up before even watching the video ? Knowing that he never disappoints. Thabo is an absolute unnecessary piece of sxxt 😡 Excellent as always Adrian 👍
I’m thankful that you covered this story, Adrian. Unfortunately, we (🇿🇦) don’t have the death penalty … something our country really does need to reevaluate, as violent crime, globally, is the highest 😞
Hi Adrian. I have been watching Coffee house Crime since you started. I have gotten my 26 years old Daughter and my 76 year old mother also hooked. I am 53years old. You are brilliant and your voice is soothing... You are very professional. We love you. ❤( Proudly South African,Cape Town))
I really enjoy these cases that are outside the US. I think we Americans are so used to hearing almost exclusively about US cases, we forget other countries have their fair share of horrific crimes and those victims are deserving of attention and rememberance.
9h yhea it would be very easy to do a horrific crimes channel and never leave America for your content however unfortunately sick crap happens everywhere. Apparently rates are falling but I guess due to the world we live in with the Internet it's hard to accept. The only thing is that it's predicted another huge spike in major crime like the 70s and 80s which was the serial killer "golden years" or there were more than any other time and apparently they think this might be about to come again due to the fact that the same social factors they think caused the last spike have been repeated.
To be fair, most Americans forget other countries exist - period. Culture, other ways of thinking, languages, etc., most Americans focus on the US only and know absolutely nothing about other countries. And yet somehow holds them on their US standards.
@@Libellulaire yhea isn't there some crazy stat about how few Americans have a passport or something as they just don't ever even think about leaving the country. I still remember a true story about a student at university who did a paper about Australia and her professor failed her because "he doesn't accept papers about made up countries that don't exist". A university Professor who as part of their course requires knowledge about geography really thought Australia didn't exist. Honestly this is a true story when I first read it I thought I'd stumbled on one of those fake news sites but nope, I checked it on several different sources and the story stayed the same.
TX Adrian, as a South African I do appreciate you covering this bizarre case. And everything you said about this beautiful country is sadly so true. Greetings from South Africa
I really appreciate how you always remind everyone that the story is really about the victim or victims. It's always only about the murderer. And you always do stories I've never heard before which is very refreshing! 😊
Nice one Adrian. I'm an attorney in South Africa. The death penalty was outlawed back in 1995 so his guilty plea was probably motivated by other factors. Thanks for this coverage
Been following you for the past few months. Thank you for giving dignity to the victims by telling their story. Keep up the good work and - btw- your cat is adorable! 😊😽
I live next to the prison,knew and went to visit someone from that prison. It was quite impenetrable so i was baffled by this escape. Very embarrassed for my country. Thanks for the coverage CoffeeHouse!❤🇿🇦
Hey Adrian! On break at work, so I don't have time to watch rn, but I just wanted to tell you that I love your channel and I love your style. If you occasionally want to post something that isn't necessarily true crime, if it's strange or dark, I know I for one sure want to see it! Thank you for your time and effort, and for being so good at what you do. Peace.
I am South African. Bribery and corruption reign supreme. I am a survivor of many things. Well documented again. South Africa does not have the death penalty. Many are appealing for its return. Blessings from South Africa. Sue
I want to tell you that YOU are my FAVE crime youtuber! I love all of your stories and have watched all of them...maybe more than once....how embarrassing I am "that" girl. However, I love to listen/watch while I get ready for work in the morning! Thank you for the cases you cover! They are all so interesting!
I’m excited to watch one within moments of release. Thank you so much Adrian for all you do. We really appreciate you. I can only imagine how hard producing these videos is, and the fact that you release every week is nothing short of amazing!
You are amazing, most non zulu speaking South African wouldn't pronounce do perfectly, and for that you're a star. I've seen a lot of my country here, thank you for highlighting our stories and for how you teach people about the country.
I've been hoping and waiting for you to cover this case!! It's just frustrating that the trial is taking forever💀💀but thank you for covering it. Another amazing video as always🙌🏾
Oh! I'm within 1hr of posting! This is my favorite true crime channel. I love how I get to learn more about each location the crime occurs and such a detailed background of each crime. You speak about the victims with such dignity and respect, something unique in the world of true crime. Thank you for covering stories all around the world.
Also love love love the beginning of the videos!!!!❤It's like a mini tour and I just highlight what I'd like to see when I eventually have the money to travel😂
There are two major cases right now happening is SA the have huge media coverage one of them being the Thabo Bester cases and the other being the Senzi Meyiwa. He was a popular soccer team goal keeper for one of the biggest soccer clubs in SA Orlando Pirates. Thanks for covering this case.
In our contemporary lives suffused with all things true-crime we’ve become evermore discerning in our choice not only of who we prefer as host/creators but also types of cases. Gore and violence? No thanks. Daring acts of deception, the close calls, the impossible odds, the role of chance and serendipity? Yes please! With a cup of Joe? Yes please! For all that and more we go to Coffeehouse Crime. Adrian has a knack for delivering the goods for connoisseurs of the genre. His artful presentation, humor, graciousness along with his curatorial eye for good subjects elevates him to be the reigning true crime host on the Internet. All that and a cat! Bravo! 👏
I first heard about this story last night. This has to be one of the wildest cases I have heard of. And the doctor! Why?!!? So many twists and turns. I feel sorry for her children. She had her daughters around that evil man and then abandoned them at school. Was he that much of a smooth talker? Silver tongue devil. I'm glad they were caught
Adrian, I like this shirt and the one that's red plaid. I enjoy your channel immensely, and I am proud of how much your channel has grown since 2021. Good job!
Hi there.I just wanted to let you know I live in South Africa and we do not offer the death penalty. The most highest sentence that can be offered is life in prison. Love love love your channel!
I was waiting for you to cover this story. Some of us have talked about it until were blue in the face. And the story has just begun as more details are coming out.
Yayyy new Coffeehouse Crime to enjoy with my morning coffee. Thank you for existing, Adrian. Your content has been helping me get through some really tough times. Be kind to yourself and have a magical day! 🤗💜
Hi Adrian!! 😊 I think he should never ever live outside of those walls and barbed wire, he is definitely a danger to everyone else around him. I really like that you cover cases that hasn’t already been on other channels and that you cover the whole world 🌎! So excited to see what is coming!!
Why that doctor ruined her reputation and life by associating with such a horrible man is beyond me. Great episode Adrian. I loved your delivery of the story and the well timed 'f-bomb,' that always make me smile when you drop it, was perfect!
What a shocking and bizarre case AND still on going. The amount of corruption is staggering. You will have to make an update episode.. Thank You Adrian ❤️☕
As one of the people that requested a cover on this case, I'd like to thank you so much for all the important insights that you have shared on this video.
Thank you for dropping by my country once again honestly speaking this case has a Bonny nd Clyde element to it we still asking ourselves why Nandipha gave up everything she worked for so hard for her to now be seating in jail was it really worth losing everything for love. We as a country have so many mixed emotions about this case its scary
As a South African i want to thank you for sharing this story. You were actually the first 'podcast like' channel I started to follow. On this story i think it's important to note that Thabo was a product of rape, the snip of the interview with his mother she actually told the story of how she was raped as a teen by his father - a stranger to her- in his car after hitchhiking. I dont know but it seemed important to his story, especially when you hear how callously he refers to 'his rapes'
Adelaide, hon... its an important info because quite often people born into horrible circumstances are completely desensitized and can't quite tell right from wrong. i once worked a hostel for teens here in Germany . it was horror stories after horror stories , 3 years of therapy for me.
@@PHlophe Im glad you got therapy people dont realize how traumatizing it can be to listen to others trauma. And you know it seems to me that Thabo knew growing up that his father raped his mother. You know how people talk. The whole story was just terrible!
I had to watch this as soon as the notification went off. This is the biggest case in our country af the moment. May I request that you also research and cover the Annias Mathe case? Thanks for the great work you're doing here. All the way from SA❤
Yaayyy another Coffeehouse Crime video, love your content so much, thank you Adrian for putting in all your hard work, and keeping us entertained with these crazy crazy stories !!!! ~~ Amanda Lots of love from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada 🇨🇦
Hey Adrian, I love how you’ve changed up your spoken into dialogue - leading into the story with different prompts and open-ended sentences keeps it interesting for sure! I felt badly for this man as a kid at the start of the story - then shocked, and in disbelief at how an “ educated” woman could fall for such a ConMan - then just angry at the system, for being so corrupt and blind to his antics. At the end of it all I’m just grateful he was caught before he could take another innocent life Can’t wait for your big reveal !!!😊
Have you heard of teacher, Ashling Murphy, who was killed in Ireland, in broad daylight after work. In a public place in 2022. The trial of her killer started a few days ago
My husband knows that when I say I'm going on a date with Adrian... He should not disturb me ... I'm grateful that you covering a case from my country ❤❤
I’m a Tanzanian, got excited that my country is finally mentioned in your videos 😊 but somewhat disappointed too 🥹there’s a lot more to 🇹🇿 than it being among the mooost underdeveloped countries in the world lol
Hope you’ll be back in Melbourne again soon! It would be awesome if you ever do a meet and greet! So many new cafes here now since your last visit!! ✨☕️
@@CoffeehouseCrimesee you then! I’ll send through my recommendations! ☕️✨ Thank you for your awesome true crime coverage! Your sensitivity and compassion is unmatched!!
This is the second video about this case I've seen in two days. The escape plan is one of the most impressive I've seen in all of criminal history, and I'm glad he was caught and put back where he belongs so quickly. I would like an update when the trials of his accomplices are complete, though.
As a lover of Coffee & dark stories, It was refreshing seeing my country on here. You told it well. Honestly, I cant wait to see the outcome of this trail. O follow it daily. Another one that might tickle your fancy is the case of Senzo Meyiwa. He was our countries Football teams Captain and it kinda looks like he was murdered by his girl at the time, a local Celeb, Kelly KKhumalo. Allegedly. Crazy story full of twists and turns, the perfect cast, I think you'd love covering it. Nonetheless, lovely episode, as always!
It's been dragging so long, I'd probably only get the gist of it by watching here😮 I have no idea what's going on with that case now...would love to see it here. Great case suggestion

@@bobbymaverick7221how does it mean a lot?
This story is an embarrassing reflection of just how corrupt our country is💔
The fact that Nandipha joined him on his criminal streak and risked everything, will always be shocking to me.

I've been hoping and waiting for you to cover this case!! It's just frustrating that the trial is taking forever💀💀but thank you for covering it. Another amazing video as always🙌🏾
Wow Adrian you amaze me everytime. I never imagined you doing this one👍👍. Thabo is as cold blooded as they come, black heart.
Oh! I'm within 1hr of posting!
This is my favorite true crime channel. I love how I get to learn more about each location the crime occurs and such a detailed background of each crime. You speak about the victims with such dignity and respect, something unique in the world of true crime. Thank you for covering stories all around the world.
Also love love love the beginning of the videos!!!!❤It's like a mini tour and I just highlight what I'd like to see when I eventually have the money to travel😂
@@dikeledimothiba65 totally agree!!!
So many South Africans 🇿🇦 here. Lovely to see! I think we can start a South African Coffeehouse Crime club. 😅
There are two major cases right now happening is SA the have huge media coverage one of them being the Thabo Bester cases and the other being the Senzi Meyiwa. He was a popular soccer team goal keeper for one of the biggest soccer clubs in SA Orlando Pirates. Thanks for covering this case.
Kaizer Chiefs really? Stop lying.
Orlando Pirates not Kaizer Chiefs.
@@Liyaena Meant Orlando Pirates my bad🥲😂Let me fix that.
@@selimona2816 Meant Orlando Pirates my bad🥲😂Let me fix that.
He was also a captain of the national team
In our contemporary lives suffused with all things true-crime we’ve become evermore discerning in our choice not only of who we prefer as host/creators but also types of cases.
Gore and violence? No thanks.
Daring acts of deception, the close calls, the impossible odds, the role of chance and serendipity? Yes please!
With a cup of Joe? Yes please!
For all that and more we go to Coffeehouse Crime.
Adrian has a knack for delivering the goods for connoisseurs of the genre. His artful presentation, humor, graciousness along with his curatorial eye for good subjects elevates him to be the reigning true crime host on the Internet.
All that and a cat!
Bravo! 👏
I first heard about this story last night. This has to be one of the wildest cases I have heard of. And the doctor! Why?!!? So many twists and turns. I feel sorry for her children. She had her daughters around that evil man and then abandoned them at school. Was he that much of a smooth talker? Silver tongue devil. I'm glad they were caught
Some people do crazy things for love. I don't know why, maybe it's for the attention or for the notoriety, who knows.
This story shocked me so much, I’m a doctor and i can’t even imagine what that lady was thinking…what was everyone thinking? Helping him? Like what?
Adrian, I like this shirt and the one that's red plaid.
I enjoy your channel immensely, and I am proud of how much your channel has grown since 2021. Good job!
I appreciate that! thank you!
I can see this being turned into a movie or at least a documentary by Netflix lol love the true crime videos more than the other new ones.
Hi there.I just wanted to let you know I live in South Africa and we do not offer the death penalty. The most highest sentence that can be offered is life in prison.
Love love love your channel!
Considering how MUCH murders occur you really should reinstate capital punishment!
I totally agree with you.
We need the death penalty like yesterday...the country is the jungle and its the survival of the fittest kinda situation. So sad and scary 😢
@@lionessnala2000yes there is such bad people in prison and we desperately need the death penalty! Doubt that will ever happen 😢😢
Thank you for another video Adrian! I haven’t heard of this case, so the awareness is great! My condolences to the families ❤
I was waiting for you to cover this story. Some of us have talked about it until were blue in the face. And the story has just begun as more details are coming out.
Hey clan chairperson fancy seeing you here😅
@@1justWannaKnow 😂😂😂 Small world🤗
Hey from South Wales 🏴! I'm relatively new to the channel, but love the stories you tell!
Yayyy new Coffeehouse Crime to enjoy with my morning coffee. Thank you for existing, Adrian. Your content has been helping me get through some really tough times. Be kind to yourself and have a magical day! 🤗💜
Grateful for the coverage of this case, it kept us South Africans in a grip of pure terror
Love you Adrian 💕 you always have a case I've Never heard of and your charming personality and diligent research make your videos the absolute best!
Hi Adrian!! 😊
I think he should never ever live outside of those walls and barbed wire, he is definitely a danger to everyone else around him.
I really like that you cover cases that hasn’t already been on other channels and that you cover the whole world 🌎! So excited to see what is coming!!
This was a crazy case! Thanks for covering it 🙏
Why that doctor ruined her reputation and life by associating with such a horrible man is beyond me. Great episode Adrian. I loved your delivery of the story and the well timed 'f-bomb,' that always make me smile when you drop it, was perfect!
What a shocking and bizarre case AND still on going. The amount of corruption is staggering. You will have to make an update episode.. Thank You Adrian ❤️☕
As one of the people that requested a cover on this case, I'd like to thank you so much for all the important insights that you have shared on this video.
Thanks for the great content you provide! Hopefully some day you could cover a case from my home country, Finland 😁
Thank you for dropping by my country once again honestly speaking this case has a Bonny nd Clyde element to it we still asking ourselves why Nandipha gave up everything she worked for so hard for her to now be seating in jail was it really worth losing everything for love. We as a country have so many mixed emotions about this case its scary
I just wanna say what you do a great job at respecting the victims and circles around them. And also not glorifing the murderers
As a South African i want to thank you for sharing this story. You were actually the first 'podcast like' channel I started to follow. On this story i think it's important to note that Thabo was a product of rape, the snip of the interview with his mother she actually told the story of how she was raped as a teen by his father - a stranger to her- in his car after hitchhiking. I dont know but it seemed important to his story, especially when you hear how callously he refers to 'his rapes'
Adelaide, hon... its an important info because quite often people born into horrible circumstances are completely desensitized and can't quite tell right from wrong. i once worked a hostel for teens here in Germany . it was horror stories after horror stories , 3 years of therapy for me.
@@PHlophe Im glad you got therapy people dont realize how traumatizing it can be to listen to others trauma. And you know it seems to me that Thabo knew growing up that his father raped his mother. You know how people talk. The whole story was just terrible!
I had to watch this as soon as the notification went off. This is the biggest case in our country af the moment.
May I request that you also research and cover the Annias Mathe case?
Thanks for the great work you're doing here.
All the way from SA❤
Thanks for covering this story been following it we still shocked🇿🇦 about it. I'm your big fan in South Africa. ❤
Yaayyy another Coffeehouse Crime video, love your content so much, thank you Adrian for putting in all your hard work, and keeping us entertained with these crazy crazy stories !!!!
~~ Amanda
Lots of love from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada 🇨🇦
Hey Adrian, I love how you’ve changed up your spoken into dialogue - leading into the story with different prompts and open-ended sentences keeps it interesting for sure!
I felt badly for this man as a kid at the start of the story - then shocked, and in disbelief at how an “ educated” woman could fall for such a ConMan - then just angry at the system, for being so corrupt and blind to his antics. At the end of it all I’m just grateful he was caught before he could take another innocent life
Can’t wait for your big reveal !!!😊
Have you heard of teacher, Ashling Murphy, who was killed in Ireland, in broad daylight after work. In a public place in 2022. The trial of her killer started a few days ago
My husband knows that when I say I'm going on a date with Adrian... He should not disturb me ... I'm grateful that you covering a case from my country ❤❤
I would absolutely love if you could do a story from australia. The Snowtown murders are absolutely horrific & I’ve not seen anyone really do it
I’m a Tanzanian, got excited that my country is finally mentioned in your videos 😊 but somewhat disappointed too 🥹there’s a lot more to 🇹🇿 than it being among the mooost underdeveloped countries in the world lol
Hope you’ll be back in Melbourne again soon! It would be awesome if you ever do a meet and greet! So many new cafes here now since your last visit!! ✨☕️
Sounds like a fun idea! I may do that next January!
@@CoffeehouseCrimesee you then! I’ll send through my recommendations! ☕️✨ Thank you for your awesome true crime coverage! Your sensitivity and compassion is unmatched!!
🇿🇦🇿🇦 here, I smiled when I saw this. Fascinated with all your covers. Been watching for a while now ❤
This is the second video about this case I've seen in two days. The escape plan is one of the most impressive I've seen in all of criminal history, and I'm glad he was caught and put back where he belongs so quickly. I would like an update when the trials of his accomplices are complete, though.
From joburg, and so glad you could cover this story🙏 hoping these people get what they deserve.
Huge fan of the channel too Adrian, thank you❤
that “beard”/“moustache” is a crime in and of itself
Another great video! Also, GREAT SHIRT! That color is wonderful on you. Thanks for bringing us all these interesting stories!
As a lover of Coffee & dark stories, It was refreshing seeing my country on here. You told it well. Honestly, I cant wait to see the outcome of this trail. O follow it daily. Another one that might tickle your fancy is the case of Senzo Meyiwa. He was our countries Football teams Captain and it kinda looks like he was murdered by his girl at the time, a local Celeb, Kelly KKhumalo. Allegedly. Crazy story full of twists and turns, the perfect cast, I think you'd love covering it. Nonetheless, lovely episode, as always!
It's been dragging so long, I'd probably only get the gist of it by watching here😮 I have no idea what's going on with that case now...would love to see it here. Great case suggestion
Man, you are a true crime legend. Never thought in a million years you would cover this one.
The saddest thing about all of this is that eventually, he will walk out free, given how bad the South African legal system is
Wow, what a roller coaster! Great job presenting Adrian!
