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.

the reporter seems not to be listening! completely uninformed!
Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh an excellent facilitator. It is refreshing to have this quality from our public broadcaster. I might even consider getting a television again.
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

17:45@mpofu must conduct all SABC interviews 👏
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
Why not confiscate Thabo's money (share with his victims) and cancell the contracts of GeeForce (G4S).
a death certificate was issued. WHO'S IDENTITY NUMBER IS ON THAT CERTTIFICATE??? ACCORDING TO THE HOME AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT, "There is no record of Thabo Bester on the Home Affairs records"
Proud of kolobe , you are on point
This warder is so well-spoken.

And the body didn't match Thabo Bester mother's DNA it also didn't have smoke in the lungs injures are inconsistent with a suicide?Yet they still released the body and issued a death certificate?😢

There is one thing here that you can not subcontract which is accountability!
Thabo Bester did not escape, the prison guards unlocked his cell and released him in exchange for dough.🤑
I am beginning to believe that #ThaboBester took responsibility of murder which he did commit but some government official or officials did. Maybe that's why he's been living a lavish life in prison.
Wow, Dr Mpofu-Walsh, I love your style of questioning the guests. Please, do invite the minister of electricity.
TB “walked away” from prison, he never escaped Singa😩
I can't watch this because the host isn't allowing the panel to answer...cuts them off ...not pleasant
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 union is to lenient with their members. One escape is one to many. All the members involved need to be incarcerated. Some of them are dismissed meaning they been excluded from the cases.
Poor service.. they are just angry their corruption is being exposed now.
The anchor made this hard to watch, he's so dismissive and focused on proving his point. The spokeperson handled this well though.
Imagine how many others are running loose in the streets ?
Where there are human beings there will be always the element of dishonesty no matter what....that one no one can deny...as humam being we have different morals and our integrity levels differs. Note made on Tuesday 18 April 2023.

No matter how many dishonesties in a system they are it is not to correct so we must correct them one by one.
Same as police ..standards dropped to accommodate people. The useless ministers and commissioner's must be fired.
I suggest DCS change from sentences plans to rehabilitation tracking system. Obviously the current system is not working for anyone including the kind of skills it attracts otherwise we will have these widespread incidents will continue increasing.
You telling us the equipment like body scanners are expensive you won't manage to get them in all the correctional centers yet you can hire a private jet for 1.4m to transport a fugitive? it doesn't make sense...!
The court is going to be full of people who are directly or indirectly linked to this crime. Be ready to get a court room as big as GALLAGHER estate to accommodate everyone.😁
You can't start an interview by being combative. Your job is to ask questions and gain truth. Manje before he can even answer already you fighting

These opening questions make no sense. Essentially. You don't know what you don't know.
Shame they were fooled.
It is problematic that Nxumalo is extremely overweight for the job that he does 😮🗑️🗑️
Definitely thabo bester is not south african citizen something is not right
I think Thabo Bester is Abdhul from Zimbabwe
There's corruption all around. Times are tough, if , someone is offered a large amount of money, from a person who is high up on the food chain, he/she will not be refuse. 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.?
The SABC must tell us where they get this guy from.
The anchor should be fired

Lyk of dit te lekker gaan daar in die diens .
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.
Some of them have a “off the scale” bmi
Die spokesperson kort bietjie 0efening ek glo nie hy kan vinnig beweeg nie veral in krisis
SABC NEWS....you've definitely wasted our time and data, with this Anchor. He's so unprofessional, he asks questions, yet doesn't give the guests time to answer... Definitely, this is not his strong point....He should find a new hobbie...because even singing was not his "strong key" when he was in a groupie with AKA🙆🤦🙅
