This is what the court heard about Thabo Bester's escape today.

Senohe Matsoara is the man who brought Katlego Bereng's body into Mangaung Correctional Centre which was later burnt in Thabo Bester' Cell , he is the man who was involved in ever move of the escape .

So Dr Nandipha's father Zolani Sekeleni on the 27th of April 2022 went to OR Tambo and hired a car , and two days later on the 29th Matsoara showed up at the prison driving this same car with a corpse in it at around 5pm pretending to be reporting for work.

The body ...Dr Nandipha is the one who claimed the body pretending to be helping Zimbabwean guy Zander Moyo to bury his brother , the body was then taken to Thusanong mortuary and the mortuary was going to bury the corpse

They went Gavin Watson style held a fake funeral in phase 2. This is where Matsoara now took the body from.When police dug up the grave inside the coffin, there were 3 packets 10kg of mealie meal bags , imagine in this Ramaphosa economy burying mealie meal

how did the body finally got into the the prison? At the gate there was Buti Masukela you could not just get in without a pass unless seniors approve it . Matsoara managed to go past the gate without an pass he wasn't even searched by Masukela and in the car was a TV stand

The same culprits Masukela and Matsoara helped each other to offload the TV stand and the dead body . The vehicle then left the Mangaung Correctional Centre.

Then comes in Tebogo Liphole the following day which is the 30th of April now , he grabbed the body tossed it into a trolley dustbin pretending like he was cleaning the prison yard . He left the body at Broadway , this is where single cells are located at Mangaung

Funny enough Matsoara ara who was the supervisor didn't work at night but suddenly requested to work for a shift of another supervisor who was supposed to be on duty on the 2nd of March ,

There was an inmate who complained of short breath so Matsoara instructed an official stationed at Broadway to attend to the inmate. The official tried to tell the boss he couldn't leave Broadway unattended by Matsaora was more senior had the final say.

An alarm was then raised on Broadway that Cell 35 which was Thabo Bester Cell was on fire.

Matsaora had called Liphole on the 2nd of May requesting a meeting they met and collected the body from the dark room and placed the body in the famous Cell 35 Thabo Bester stayed in .

So yeah the Cell is on fire the main character Matsaora was on the scene faking putting out the fire but the the entire time he was on his phone other officials jumped in and helped put out the blaze.

In a movie like style Thabo Bester was given a G4S uniform to wear and he walked out of Mangaung Correctional Centre wearing the uniform like an official accompanied by Liphole

Prior to Bester leaving the prison Liphole had disconnected the CCTV cameras so that Bester could use the same doors to enter Broadway to exit Broadway

Name a better real life movie 😪

Liphole was promised R2.5milion by Matsoara for his role in the escape. Liphole only got R40 000 from Matsoara. R30 000 was paid first into Liphole's wife's account before Thabo's escape.

I'm sure he never got the balance makes sense why he called the police about Bester

Thabo Bester was making transfers into Matsaora's bank account himself . The first payment was R20 000 followed by several deposits after that .Payments started in April 2022.

e-banking while locked up ...

It's also important to note that a member of SAPS organized crime testified in court today that Katlego Bereng (whose body was being tossed all over the place & eventually burnt in the cell) & Senohe Matsoara the G4S guy, knew each other and would often be seen drinking together.

Matsoara's bank statements according to investigators show that Matsoara recieved R150 000 from Thabo Bester using the name TK Nkwana

Tieho Makhotsa and Anastassja Jansen are the ones who opened doors for Bester when it was time to leave the prison.Tieho got paid R14 000 .
