The department of correctional services DCS has decided to let the contract with G4S, the private company managing Mangaung Prison where convicted murderer and rapist Thabo Bester escaped, run its natural course.
On Tuesday, correctional services minister Pieter Groenewald clarified that the litigation has not yet stopped but said they would not be pursuing further legal action as it would be costly.
We did not continue with the litigation because it is going to take a lot of money.
