Attempted murder accused Vusimuzi Cat Matlala has been transferred from the Kgosi Mampuru correctional centre to eBongweni, a super maximum facility in KwaZulu-Natal.
Department of correctional services spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo said Matlala was transferred to the prison in Kokstad on December 21.
The transfer of remand detainees and sentenced offenders between correctional facilities is a standard operational practice, informed by a range of considerations, primarily security, safety, operational requirements, and effective inmate management across the correctional system, said Nxumalo.
