Thabo Bester escape case from Mangaung Correctional Centre. On May 3, 2022, Bester escapes
from Mangaung Correctional Centre with the help of G4S and Integriton employees. G4S
security supervisor Senohe Matsoara and Integriton’s CCTV technician Tebogo James Lipholo
are among those who allegedly assist Bester escape. Also assisting Bester, is Magudumana,
along with her father, Zolile Sekeleni. Also in May last year, Magudumana claims the body of
the man found in Bester’s cell. Parliament heard how Magudumana had the body transported to a
mortuary in Soweto, before she was set to cremate it. It has now emerged that the SAPS then

Magudumana had claimed another body in April, claiming it was a relative, only for the body to
be found floating in a river. Also in May, Magudumana approached the North Gauteng High
Court in a bid to seek relief against the police, for her to be allowed to cremate the body. She had
claimed to be Bester’s customary wife, but it was found that she was still in a civil union with Dr
Mkhuseli Magudumana, per home affairs records at the time. Judge Edwin Cameron, the head of
the Judicial Inspectorate for Correctional Services, who also appeared in Parliament, said the
police should have ensured Magudumana was arrested for perjury solely based on the untruths
she had presented to court. Parliament also heard from top police officials that an affidavit
submitted by Magudumana in the court case had been signed by an officer who had left the
police force months earlier. Police officials confirmed to MPs that Magudumana was never
questioned, despite many unanswered questions. – June 2022 Bester and Magudumana are
photographed at a Woolworths supermarket in Sandton. This only emerged in March 2023
publicly in a GroundUp report. He is photographed sporting long hair and sunglasses. – August
