More arrests expected in Thabo Bester escape saga

The State revealed that at least three more people could join those in the dock.

So far, 9 people have been implicated.

They all appeared in court with Bester appearing virtually from the Kgosi Mampuru prison in Pretoria.

He said, "no, obviously the say further investigations, it means that there’s still a lot of things outstanding."

"What I see from this, and I said it on an earlier occasion. I believe that there’s still a lot more accused persons that need to be added to that roster of accused as it stands now, the nine before court."

"I think we will have five more postponements before we actually get into a direction where we know a discovery has been made and we can start preparing for trial. I don’t see the state being ready until 2024. I don’t foresee that.""The state in essence is admitting that they’re not ready with actually setting the matter down to say we can go to trial. That is the unfortunate part because people want to know what’s happening but… The state is not ready and they’re far from ready, that I know for a fact.”
