Thabo Bester Saga - State Expects Three More People to Be Arrested GroundUp_News: SouthAfrica
The other accused in the matter are: Bester's partner, Nandipha Magudumana; her father, Zolile Sekeleni; former Mangaung prison employees, Senohe Matsoara, Monteyani Masukela, Tieho Makhotsa and Nastassja Jansen; and Teboho Lipholo, a former employee of CCTV service provider Integriton Security Solutions. A ninth accused, Zanda Moyo, was added to the list last week.
Sekeleni's representative, Themba Diba, asked that Sekeleni, who is out on bail, be excused from the next court appearance because he lives very far from the court. The state did not object, but Magistrate Mohlolo Khabisi rejected the request, saying that for practical reasons it would be difficult to compel Sekeleni to attend future appearances.While the court hearing took place, a few former G4S employees marched to Mangaung Correctional Centre.
They want the contract with G4S to be terminated quickly and the prison to be returned to the DCS. Mphou said that G4S had failed to take responsibility for its failures in the Thabo Bester matter and in other security incidents at the prison. The group had prepared a memorandum to hand over to a DCS representative, but there was no one at the prison to receive it.
