The detainees escaped through a pipe shaft and used an object to break the wall, before getting past the fence in the early hours of the morning.





According to provincial police spokesperson, Lungelo Dlamini, the two were arrested after the police interviewed several witnesses.





However, Dlamini could not comment on whether the officials received bribes or incentives to help the detainees escape but added that "it's part of the evidence which will be led in court when the officials are appearing."
