Correctional Services slammed over latest escapees in Eastern Cape - SABC News

In the latest incident, two convicted rapists escaped from a correctional services facility in the Eastern Cape last Friday.

The incident comes after the debacle about the escape from the Mangaung prison in May last year of convicted rapist and killer Thabo Bester. “I think it is terrifying that another two people have escaped shortly after Bester had escaped and you can only think what the victims of the raped are feeling because security in the prison seems to be lacking but the justice system is failing people and I find that terrifying.”

They are facing, among others, charges of murder, aiding the escape of a prisoner, and defeating the ends of justice.
