Unfiltered | Thabo Bester Escape: A Crisis for SA Prisons? 18 April 2023

Over the past three years, there were a hundred and seventy-three escapes by prisoners across the country, although Correctional Services says this number is decreasing. But one escape, is one too many, as these are dangerous convicted murderers and rapists lurking our streets before some of them are re-captured.

    He pushed for all pertinent questions to be answered! Every anchor has their own style and I found it refreshing! Within a short space he was able to discern a hack of a lot and that is what matters instead of decorum that yields no answers nor accountability! I truly like his style he is a true journalist who is not there to be liked

    Why is G4S still operating, why are their bank accounts still active with major banks? Selective application of principle. Who are/ is the owners of G4S, Why are they not being investigated why can't the media show us their faces and houses?

    I think Bester escaped before the fire, the guards during that time must tell that where where they when the fire started what was happening, but for me despite everyone's opinion ,Thabo Bester left the cell before the fire , and he was assisted to leave the cell out

    There is a channel called Agenda Network here on KZread and apparently on Facebook too that cover the stories of those who have been rehabilitated. Those individuals share the stories of corruption that happens in prison and the lifestyle. I wonder why government doesn’t reach out as part of the investigation to what happens inside. Because some of the allegations are alarming. Inmates being let out for some days by government officials to do unspeakable crimes outside is just evil

The authorities should ask "how did THABO BESTER get the accelrant into the cell?" Which person carried the accelrant to CELL 35 ???? Thabo Bester was going in and out to expense hotels, WAS he searched upon his return to prison.?

    Mr Mpofu-Walsh in any organisation the leader is responsible for operations of the organisation, correction of anomalies, training and policies and protocols. You don't just blame employees at the shopfloor and trivialise it as normal. In sensitive areas you investigate and conscioutise it. These are issues ministers taxpayers and electorates want answered and done.
