The correctional services department DCS says the decision to transfer convicted murderer Thabo Bester and alleged criminal mastermind Vusimuzi Cat Matlala was based on a comprehensive threat and risk assessment.
The two were moved from the Kgosi Mampuru II Correctional Centre C-Max in Pretoria to the eBongweni Super-Maximum Correctional Centre in Kokstad.
Matlala, who faces attempted murder charges involving his ex-girlfriend Tebogo Thobejane, was relocated in December, while Bester was moved on January 30.
