The Mozambican criminal who escaped from South African prisons, twice - The Mail & GuardianThe Mozambican criminal who escaped from South African prisons, twice - A rhino-poaching suspect, who recently escaped from police custody, has been identified as a criminal who was serving multiple life sentences when he broke out of prison last year Mxm same story as Ananias Mathe 'chicken'? You know it was said he escaped prison and when you read further about him, you will find that it is alleged that he didn't actually escape but he was working with corrupt officials to assist him to escape and his government helped too. Should have put broke out in quotes We have had violent prisoners serving long sentences ...never heard how they broke out ...here we have a Mozambican who should have been on an episode of Prison break A leopard will never lose its spots.Sorry for the animal analogy but thats how the saying goes.Clearly a criminal is a criminal and thats amount of jail time cures that.Harsher punishment is required to deter future no gooders to society.
