South African police are on the hunt for six Zimbabwean nationals who with the aid of accomplices, managed to escape from custody just outside Louis Trichardt near Beitbridge.
In a statement, the South African Police Service said:
“The Police in Makhado have launched a massive manhunt for a group of heavily armed suspects who attacked and shot at Police members transporting six awaiting trial prisoners and managed to free them this morning, Monday 13 March 2023.
“The suspects thereafter took the six prisoners and sped off in a grey Mercedes Benz and a white Toyota Bakkie.
“The incident occurred along the Vivo road next to the first Sxhoemansdal turnoff outside Louis Trichardt… All escapees are Zimbabwean nationals.”
The six escapees have been SAPS identified as Forward Shumba, 26, Shingirai Nyandome, 32, Brilliant Sibanda, 26, Erick Sithole, 35, Moses Zambara, 32 and Alex Nkomo, 35.
They were all awaiting trial for crimes committed in South Africa and were being transported by police when their accomplices violently freed them.
