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,

Page 2 of 3 Due Date: 3 September 2024 confiscated the body after they found that
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 2022 An autopsy conducted on the unknown body
found in Cell 35 finds that the deceased, initially thought to be Bester, had no signs of
smoke inhalation, but had been murdered. His cause of death was according to the
