The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) together with the South African Police Services (SAPS) have launched a manhunt for a group of Zimbabwean criminals who escaped from the Grahamstown Prison on Tuesday.
Police have since launched a wide-ranging manhunt for the detainees who made a getaway from the Correctional Facility, in Makhanda, Eastern Cape Region in the early hours of Tuesday.
The seven are Zimbabwean nationals charged for rhino poaching:
1. Nhamo Muyambo
2. Francis Chitho
3. Trymore Chauke
4. Lubuyo September
5. Abraham Moyane
6. Simba Masinge
7. Bennet Kwarrile
DCS has appealed to the public to assist with any information that may lead to the re-arrest of the fugitives.
“They are considered dangerous and should not be confronted if spotted, information should be shared with the nearest police station. Their images will be shared during the course of the day,” it said.
