Another G4S employee has been arrested in connection with Thabo Bester’s escape plot.
The 51-year-old security guard is the second one to be arrested after prison warder Senohe Matsoara.
National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said the man was arrested at the Mangaung Correctional Centre in Bloemfontein on Tuesday where Bester escaped from on 3 May 2022.
The guard was expected to appear in the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.
Mathe said the man faced charges of assisting an inmate to escape from lawful custody and defeating the ends of justice.
Other people who have been arrested in connection with Bester’s escape include celebrity aesthetics doctor Nandipha Magudumana, her father, Zolile Sekeleni, and Integritron Integrated Solutions employee Teboho Lipholo.
Bester, who was serving a life sentence at the time of his escape, was arrested in Tanzania with Magumudana.
He is currently being held at Kgosi Mampuru II Prison.
