The case against Thabo Bester and his co-accused is expected to continue in the Bloemfontein magistrate's court on Tuesday.
Bester escaped from the Mangaung Correctional Centre after allegedly faking his own death in a prison cell in May 2022.
Eight people have been arrested so far, with more arrests expected soon, according to the testimony of the investigating officer last week. Tuesday will be the time all the accused appear in court together but Bester, closely watched after his escape, will not physically join his co-accused in the dock.
He is expected to join proceedings virtually as he remains under arrest in the Kgosi Mampuru Correctional Centre in Pretoria. The other accused are Bester's girlfriend Dr Nandipha Magudumana, her father, Zolile Sekeleni who is out on R10,000 bail, and former G4S employees Senohe Matsoara, Teboho Lipholo, Buti Masukela, Tieho Frans Makhotsa and Natassja Jansen.
