Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (Popcru) on Sunday 'noted with shock' revelations about the audacious escape from prison of Facebook rapist and murderer Thabo Bester.

“This further raises questions as to whom the burnt body belongs, and how it found itself in cell 35. This brings to question the level of responsibility the department of correctional services takes in monitoring, and the functionality of controllers which it appoints to ensure that contractual obligations with these private prisons are not violated in line with the prescripts of the Correctional Services Act,” he said.

“We are of the view that the provision of law and order is the key function of any government. This duty should not be delegated to the private sector, because it is motivated by profit.” reported on Sunday that Nandipha Magudumana’s brother, Nkosinathi Sekeleni, who exposed her relationship with Bester, has gone into hiding.“We are practically homeless and I am in hiding ... I fear for my life because of the articles that were written putting me at the centre for exposing my sister. I don’t know what dots to connect. I don’t know which high ranking officials are involved in this [case] and it can come back and bite me,” he told the publication.
