Two Fort Beaufort prison warders who were suspended after the Christmas escape of 15 awaiting-trial prisoners in December 2014 have been slapped with final written warnings.
The two were found guilty, in an internal disciplinary hearing, of failing to prevent the gang of prisoners from escaping and also their failure to raise the alarm after they realised that there had been a break-out.
A further two warders, also on duty on the day, were moved to other sections of the prison.
This is according to a “restricted” correctional services department internal investigation report seen by the Daily Dispatch this week.
