Unfiltered | Thabo Bester Escape: A Crisis for SA Prisons? 18 April 2023 

SABC please promote this young man he's throwing the hard questions and winning. This is how questioning should be done!

He pushed for all pertinent questions to be answered! Every anchor has their own style and I found it refreshing! Within a short space he was able to discern a hack of a lot and that is what matters instead of decorum that yields no answers nor accountability! I truly like his style he is a true journalist who is not there to be liked

Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh an excellent facilitator. It is refreshing to have this quality from our public broadcaster. I might even consider getting a television again.

Why is G4S still operating, why are their bank accounts still active with major banks? Selective application of principle. Who are/ is the owners of G4S, Why are they not being investigated why can't the media show us their faces and houses?

17:45@mpofu must conduct all SABC interviews 👏

I think Bester escaped before the fire, the guards during that time must tell that where where they when the fire started what was happening, but for me despite everyone's opinion ,Thabo Bester left the cell before the fire , and he was assisted to leave the cell out

Why not confiscate Thabo's money (share with his victims) and cancell the contracts of GeeForce (G4S).

This warder is so well-spoken.

How did they issue a death certificate to someone who's not ID roll of SA

a death certificate was issued. WHO'S IDENTITY NUMBER IS ON THAT CERTTIFICATE??? ACCORDING TO THE HOME AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT, "There is no record of Thabo Bester on the Home Affairs records"

There is one thing here that you can not subcontract which is accountability!

I can't watch this because the host isn't allowing the panel to answer...cuts them off ...not pleasant

I am beginning to believe that #ThaboBester took responsibility of murder which he did commit but some government official or officials did. Maybe that's why he's been living a lavish life in prison.

Thabo Bester did not escape, the prison guards unlocked his cell and released him in exchange for dough.🤑

Proud of kolobe , you are on point

Wow, Dr Mpofu-Walsh, I love your style of questioning the guests. Please, do invite the minister of electricity.

The union is to lenient with their members. One escape is one to many. All the members involved need to be incarcerated. Some of them are dismissed meaning they been excluded from the cases.

Where there are human beings there will be always the element of dishonesty no matter what....that one no one can deny...as humam being we have different morals and our integrity levels differs. Note made on Tuesday 18 April 2023.

Poor service.. they are just angry their corruption is being exposed now.

The anchor made this hard to watch, he's so dismissive and focused on proving his point. The spokeperson handled this well though.

You can't start an interview by being combative. Your job is to ask questions and gain truth. Manje before he can even answer already you fighting

I suggest DCS change from sentences plans to rehabilitation tracking system. Obviously the current system is not working for anyone including the kind of skills it attracts otherwise we will have these widespread incidents will continue increasing.

It is problematic that Nxumalo is extremely overweight for the job that he does 😮🗑️🗑️

TB “walked away” from prison, he never escaped Singa😩

The anchor should be fired

There is a channel called Agenda Network here on RU-vid and apparently on Facebook too that cover the stories of those who have been rehabilitated. Those individuals share the stories of corruption that happens in prison and the lifestyle. I wonder why government doesn’t reach out as part of the investigation to what happens inside. Because some of the allegations are alarming. Inmates being let out for some days by government officials to do unspeakable crimes outside is just evil

Imagine how many others are running loose in the streets ?

Same as police ..standards dropped to accommodate people. The useless ministers and commissioner's must be fired.

SABC NEWS....you've definitely wasted our time and data, with this Anchor. He's so unprofessional, he asks questions, yet doesn't give the guests time to answer... Definitely, this is not his strong point....He should find a new hobbie...because even singing was not his "strong key" when he was in a groupie with AKA🙆🤦🙅

Shame they were fooled.

These opening questions make no sense. Essentially. You don't know what you don't know.

You telling us the equipment like body scanners are expensive you won't manage to get them in all the correctional centers yet you can hire a private jet for 1.4m to transport a fugitive? it doesn't make sense...!

Definitely thabo bester is not south african citizen something is not right

The court is going to be full of people who are directly or indirectly linked to this crime. Be ready to get a court room as big as GALLAGHER estate to accommodate everyone.😁

This interviewer is soo dismissive, his approach is a bit aggressive...he hasn't mastered skill to listen 😢😮

Die spokesperson kort bietjie 0efening ek glo nie hy kan vinnig beweeg nie veral in krisis

Who is telling the truth

I think Thabo Bester is Abdhul from Zimbabwe

Mr Mpofu-Walsh in any organisation the leader is responsible for operations of the organisation, correction of anomalies, training and policies and protocols. You don't just blame employees at the shopfloor and trivialise it as normal. In sensitive areas you investigate and conscioutise it. These are issues ministers taxpayers and electorates want answered and done.

The anchor must undergo more training, thanks. Actually fire him so long.

There's corruption all around. Times are tough, if , someone is offered a large amount of money, from a person who is high up on the food chain, he/she will not be refuse. The authorities should ask "how did THABO BESTER get the accelrant into the cell?" Which person carried the accelrant to CELL 35 ???? Thabo Bester was going in and out to expense hotels, WAS he searched upon his return to prison.?

Some of them have a “off the scale” bmi

Lyk of dit te lekker gaan daar in die diens .

The SABC must tell us where they get this guy from.

What if Bester was using phala phala money

wat a waste of time when a reporter stutters and prolong a interview ai ne

The host has strong Dali Mpofu resemblance, is he Sizwe?

He is definitely involved

See😅😅😅categorize the escapes. Calm minds are talking.

This DCS official needs a Bells

I just hope that people didn't miss the fact that there is employment.. but the government just doesn't wanna hire people. So this unemployment is a human thing not a system thing... I hope the public didn't miss that
