Springs- Gauteng police have launched a manhunt after nine awaiting trial prisoners escaped from custody at the Springs Magistrates Court on Wednesday afternoon.
According to police spokesperson Brigadier Mathapelo Peters, four of the escapees had made an appearance in court for alleged murder committed in Kwa-Thema in March 2019 and possession of firearm, while the remaining suspects were appearing for housebreaking and theft, possession of drugs, trespassing and for being in the country illegally.
The escaped suspects are: Phumlani Tshabalala; Mzandile Master Mbatha; Mduduzi Richard Sithole; Mongiseni Cyprian Langa ; Sibande Sibekezele Xulu ; Clayton Donovan Booysen and William Reddinghuiz ; Augustine Mahlalela and Anock Nyirenda . Police appealed for the public's assistance in locating these escapees, warning citizens not to confront the suspects, particularly the murder suspects as they are considered to be dangerous and possibly armed.
Citizens are rather urged to contact the nearest police station should they spot the wanted suspects.

Now as the year comes 2 an end, are the authorities making a special effort 2 show us how competent they are. Or is this a very early 1st April joke? Or is d state so bankrupt that they cannot afford qualified police 2 guard prisoners properly?
