In a statement, the department said two department of correctional services officials came under attack by the abductors while they were escorting the prisoner for a medical check-up at Thembisa hospital.
“They were attacked at the hospital, leading to the abduction of the detainee this morning. One official was injured on the face when he was hit with a gun butt by the attackers,” said DCS spokesperson Sechaba Mphahlele. “During the scuffle, the attackers abducted the remand detainee, Ndingwe Mabena, who had been arrested for murder.”
