Following the Thabo Bester saga, South Africa's Correctional Services terminates the contract with G4S. The decision comes after widespread public outrage over the mistreatment and neglect of inmates at the facility, as exposed by the investigative report.
Bester’s escape from Mangaung exposed glaring security failures at the prison. He was allegedly aided by several G4S employees, a number of whom have been arrested in connection with the escape plot.
The most recent arrests were made on Monday, when two dismissed former G4S employees were apprehended by Free State police. The pair will appear at the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, on charges of assisting an inmate to escape from custody, and defeating the ends of justice. To date, eight suspects have been arrested for being involved in the audacious escape plot, with the investigating team saying it cannot rule out the possibility of additional arrests.
