Police are closing in on C-Max escapee Annanias Mathe using cellphone records, but he has not been arrested yet.

The 29-year-old Mozambican national is still in the Gauteng province, according to a SABC report.

Police are tracking Mathe through SMS contact between him and a female friend.

However national police spokesperson Director Sally de Beer has not confirmed the report. She says the police will not reveal further details around their tactic in trying to capture Mathe.

Mathe escaped from the A6 section of the prison in Pretoria two weeks ago.

He faces 51 charges, including murder, attempted murder, rape, hijacking and armed robbery.

Anyone with useful information could call Captain Fires Jansen van Vuuren on 082-822-8174 or Inspector Selepe on 082-225-2230.
