Justice Edwin Cameron revealed that during a meeting with the South African Police Service, two officials mentioned that Thabo Bester was a powerful figure in the Mangaung prison.

Retired justice Edwin Cameron has told Parliament that private security company G4S was informed of the results of the post-mortem done on the supposed body of Thabo Bester in November 2022.

Two police officers have been lauded as heroes for flagging suspicious activity by Dr Nandipha Magudumana which opened a can of worms after the escape of her lover Thabo Bester.

The Justice and Correctional Services Portfolio Committee has heard G4S dropped the ball as early as 2018 when Thabo Bester virtually attended a glamourous event in Sandton under a false identity.

Parliament has kicked off the process of officially summoning G4S Security before it to explain how rapist and murderer Thabo Bester escaped from a prison the company managed.

Tuesday’s parliamentary briefing on the escape of Thabo Bester was postponed after security company G4S did not attend.

G4S Security received a hiding in parliament on Tuesday after it failed to appear before a committee where they were expected to explain how rapist and murderer Thabo Bester made a grand escape from a prison the company had been managing.
