Inspecting judge of correctional services Edwin Cameron has told Parliament that the Judicial Inspectorate for Correctional Services told G4S in November that the burnt body found in cell 35 was not that of Thabo Bester.

Cameron also commended SA police officers who stopped Dr Nandipha Magudumana from collecting corpses in Bloemfontein in 2022.

“This triggered an urgent application by Dr Magudumana — not in Bloemfontein where deaths occurred, not where the refusal occurred — to North Gauteng High Court. A brigadier in charge of legal services in Bloemfontein got an SMS on an afternoon and she intervened and urgently contacted state attorney in Pretoria and got a notice of opposition put in, and that answering affidavit which was lodged in August opened up matters for the department,” Cameron said.

The two were arrested in Tanzania on Friday, 11 months after Bester escaped from the Mangaung prison.
