Former prison warder Senohe Matsoara, and Zolile Sekeleni, father of Thabo Bester's partner Nandipha Magudumana, appeared in the Bloemfontein Magistrates Court on Tuesday on charges relating to Bester's escape from Mangaung Correctional Centre in May 2022.
According to the charge sheet, Sekeleni and Matsoara are accused of intentionally killing a person in March 2022 in the Mangaung district of the Free State. GroundUp understands that Matsoara, a G4S employee at the time, was on duty in Bester's cell block on the night of Bester's escape. He was suspended soon after the fire and dismissed in September 2022.
In Magudumana's affidavit, she says that her father and an assistant went to collect the corpse from a morgue in Soweto on 13 May 2022.
