'It is imperative the public is afforded the truth and full details behind how an escape of this nature occurred,' says the DA.
The DA says security company G4S and the correctional services department must account for rapist and murderer Thabo Bester’s escape.
The party said it will write to the parliamentary portfolio committee on justice and correctional services to request an urgent meeting with the management of the security company, justice and correctional services ministry and national commissioner of correctional services. It said the purpose of the meeting is to obtain further information on the brazen prison escape of the convicted rapist and bring him and his accomplices to book.
“It is imperative the public is afforded the truth and full details behind how an escape of this nature occurred, how may prison officials and potentially political leaders were involved, and what actions were subsequently taken by correctional services and the SAPS,” said DA MP and shadow correctional services minister Janho Engelbrecht.
