CONFIRMED: Wooden kist driven into Mangaung prison before Bester's daring escape: G4S has confirmed that a kist was driven into Mangaung Correctional Centre Prison just before Thabo Bester's escape by an unauthorised vehicle.
Beyleveld responded: “Yes, it was a TV stand cabinet that came in...it went into the skills development area and according to the people that are being investigated, this TV stand was brought in by the supervisor who has been dismissed. That had come in for repair purposes.”
Two weeks ago, Sowetan exclusively revealed how an unauthorised car drove into the prison with a wooden kist believed to be carrying a body which was later placed in Bester's cell 35. At least three sources – two prison employees and an eyewitness – told Sowetan that when a bakkie pulled up with the"furniture", a senior official demanded that it be checked but commotion broke out in another part of the prison and he left to attend to the fracas.The 1.3m-long piece of furniture was offloaded around 5pm; it was carried to the prison's woodwork shop under the pretense that it was to be repaired.
