Recent jail breakers Takudzwa Banga (20) and Foster Mathe (18) who reportedly escaped from Moshupa Boys Prison for only two days will now face two more new charges on top of their existing murder charge.

The Botswana Prison Service (BPS) released a statement this morning to confirm that the two escaped prisones had been recaptured at Polokwe Hills between Moshupa and Kanye.

The PRO further indicated that the public should be at rest and be guaranteed that they will deal with the matter as required and that the escapees will be duly punished.
