Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The family of Katlego Bereng, believed to be the person who was found dead in murderer and rapist Thabo Bester\u2019s prison cell, is looking for answers.<\/p>\n

According to his family, Bereng, who also used his father\u2019s surname Mpholo and who lived in Bloemfontein, went missing in March 2022. The family reported his disappearance to the police two months later, in May 2022. Almost a year later, the police contacted Bereng\u2019s mother, Monica Matsie, about her son. She was asked to have two DNA tests, after which she was told that her son was dead.<\/p>\n

South African Police Service (SAPS) spokesperson Athlenda Mathe confirmed that the family of the person’s body found in the cell had been informed. Mathe said no further comment would be issued.<\/p>\n

Bester escaped from Mangaung Correctional Centre on 3 May 2022 by faking his death in a prison fire. SAPS confirmed in Parliament that three bodies were collected from the Free State mortuary by Bester\u2019s partner, Nandipha Magudumana, the third of which was the one that was found in Bester\u2019s cell, burned beyond recognition.<\/p>\n

Police comments over the weekend imply that it was Bereng\u2019s body in the cell.<\/p>\n

According to the postmortem report on the body found in the cell, the person died of a blunt force injury to the head before being smuggled into the cell and burned.<\/p>\n

But Bereng\u2019s family has received conflicting accounts from police officers about how Bereng died. One police officer told them that Bereng collapsed in Bloemfontein city centre and was taken to Pelonomi hospital, while another said he was injured and died in the hospital.<\/p>\n

Bereng\u2019s family describe him as \u201ctall and slender\u201d, but the body found in the cell was 1.45m, according to the postmortem. The average adult male height in South Africa is 1.69m. A forensic pathologist previously explained to GroundUp that it was possible for a postmortem to get the height of a person wrong, especially since the body was in the foetal position.<\/p>\n

It was not clear why the family had not yet been able to view and identify Bereng\u2019s body. They were expecting to be allowed to visit the morgue on Monday but were told that investigations were still taking place.<\/p>\n

SAPS did not respond to our request for comment and the Free State Health Department, which runs the state morgue, said it could not comment on the Bester matter.<\/p>\n

Bereng lived around the block in Mangaung from Senohe Matsoara, the prison warden facing charges of murder and aiding and abetting Bester\u2019s escape. According to a close friend, Bereng knew Matsoara and they both frequented a local tavern, which was walking distance from their homes.<\/p>\n

GroundUp visited Matsoara\u2019s house on Monday, where his Volkswagen T-Roc R-line is still parked. TimesLIVE reported that he is thought to have bought the car, worth about R650 000, using money paid to him to help orchestrate Bester\u2019s escape. The same report indicates that Matsoara\u2019s lifestyle changed considerably in the months before and after Bester\u2019s escape.<\/p>\n

Several people in Bloemfontein told GroundUp that they had little confidence in the police to solve missing person cases. One man we spoke to has a cousin who has been missing since August 2021. The case was reported to the police on the day he went missing, but there had not been any follow-up. According to the missing man\u2019s mother, she was never given a case number.<\/p>\n

A grieving family<\/b><\/p>\n

Bereng grew up in the care of his grandmother, Alice Ralilateng. His parents had divorced when he was very young, and his mother remarried. His father, Batho Mpholo, lives in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

After announcing on Twitter that the body found in the cell had been identified as his son, Mpholo has received much media attention. He is very active on Twitter, yet over the past year, he has made no previous mention of his son being missing. Mpholo has said that he implored the family to report Bereng missing after noticing that he hadn\u2019t been regularly posting on Facebook. The last public post on Bereng\u2019s Facebook page was from July 2021. According to his aunt, this was because he had lost his phone.<\/p>\n

When GroundUp visited Bereng\u2019s household on Sunday, his mother and grandmother were distraught and angry.<\/p>\n

Ralilateng said she needed to see the body.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DNA is fine for now, but we want closure. We need to know how our son ended up dead and burned in jail,\u201d she said. Bereng had never had any conflicts with the law, according to his family, and it came as a great shock to them that his life would end in a prison cell.<\/p>\n

They wanted to hold a funeral for Bereng on Sunday but were unable to plan until the police confirmed that they could collect the body.<\/p>\n

The family said it took two months before they reported the case to the police because Bereng would often visit relatives for long periods without letting anyone know. But when they realised he was not coming back, they went to the police.<\/p>\n

Ralilateng said that after reporting Bereng missing, they visited all the government morgues and hospitals surrounding Bloemfontein and left their contact details and a picture of Bereng.<\/p>\n

Bereng leaves behind two children. One is 3 years old and the other is 5. He studied to be a paramedic and his last job was as a Spur waiter.<\/p>\n

His former girlfriend, Thandiwe Boleme, who is the mother of his younger son, said that Bereng was a loving father. He was unemployed at the time of his disappearance, but he would always make an effort to support his children, Boleme said.<\/p>\n

Bereng\u2019s best childhood friend, Katlego Sebotsa, told GroundUp that they were both devoted fans of the Bloemfontein Celtic Football Club.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe used to say there are many challenges in life and we should never ever give up because tough times never last but tough people do last. I feel that I have lost one of my body parts after losing my friend,\u201d said Sebotsa.<\/p>\n
