When the case of a man who had escaped from a North West prison back in 2010 while serving an eight-year sentence remained unsolved and was later relegated to the cold case unit, it took Sgt Morongwa Koboekae only a few days to find the prisoner.
When Koboekae finally traced the man, he was serving a life sentence at Upington Prison in the Northern Cape for rape and murder that he committed shortly after escaping from Rooigrond Prison in Mahikeng.
For the Gauteng-born detective, tracing criminals is more than a job it is a calling she followed with conviction in 2011 when she first joined the SA Police Service.
