Captain Leonard Hlathi said seven prisoners
initially escaped but one was arrested after he was caught shoplifting.
Hlathi said the prisoners escaped by
digging a hole through the back of a toilet.
They then removed the toilet and broke the bricks and then they escaped.
“There were nine prisoners in the cell but two
remained behind and did not escape Hlathi added.
An internal investigation to probe the
incident is underway.
