Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Six months after he made a daring escape from Makhanda’s Waainek Prison, along with six others, one of the seven escapees of the October prison break has been re-arrested.<\/p>\n

The police caught 34-year-old Abraham Moyane on a private game reserve in Makhanda on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Of the seven, it brings the number of escapees captured and put behind bars again to four.<\/p>\n

Moyane now faces fresh charges related to contravening the National Environmental Management and Biodiversity Act for attempting to hunt a threatened or protected species without a permit.<\/p>\n

The SAPS Stock Theft and Endangered Species Units, along with the private reserve’s anti-poaching team, pounced on Moyane shortly after he and two others were spotted jumping over a fence at around 02:00.<\/p>\n

The police’s spokesperson, Warrant Officer Majola Nkohli, said: “The other two managed to flee. The suspect was found in possession of hunting implements.”<\/p>\n

Nkohli said the man arrested was one of the seven inmates who escaped from the Makhanda prison in October last year.<\/p>\n

Moyane will appear in the Grahamstown Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday to face charges related to the contravention of the National Environmental Management and Biodiversity Act.<\/p>\n

Moyane now joins Trymore Chauke, Simba Masinge and Bennet Kwarrile in prison after they were recaptured within days of their daring escape.<\/p>\n

Five of the escapees – Francis Chitiyo, Chauke, Masinge, Nhamo Muyambo and Moyane – were convicted for poaching rhino horns just 18 days before their escape.<\/p>\n

Kwarrile, detained for housebreaking, theft and attempted murder, and Luvuyo September, charged for murder, kidnapping and robbery, reportedly took advantage of the escape and also made a dash for freedom on that morning.<\/p>\n

September, Muyambo and Chitiyo remain at large.<\/p>\n

The men allegedly used 300mm hacksaw blades to cut steel bars to escape from cell seven, which housed 28 inmates.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson for the correctional services department, Singabakho Nxumalo, said the search was still on for those at large.<\/p>\n
