The ninth suspect arrested in connection with Thabo Bester's prison escape made a brief appearance in the Bloemfontein magistrate's court on Tuesday.

He was formally joined as an accused in the case in which Bester's girlfriend Nandipha Magudumana, her father Zolile Sekeleni and five individuals who worked at the Mangaung correctional centre are charged.

The group is accused of having played a role in Bester's brazen escape from prison in May last year. Asked whether he will appoint his own attorney or use legal aid, Moyo told magistrate Motlholo Khabisi he still needs to consult with his family. His case has been postponed to June 20, when he will appear with the other accused, and possibly apply for bail.
