Bester escaped from the Mangaung Correctional Centre, operated by British multinational security company G4S, on May 3 2022, the department confirmed, after it was initially believed he committed suicide by setting himself alight in his cell.
National commissioner for correctional services Makgothi Thobakgale confirmed Bester was assisted in his escape despite G4S’s previous assertions that he died in the fire, but confirmed it had dismissed three employees in relation to their conduct on the day.
