Police in Wolmaransstad, North West, have launched a manhunt after two dangerous awaiting trial detainees escaped police custody on Saturday.
Gomolemo Chacha, 24, and Ditshebi Eric Molaetsi, 28, together with six other awaiting trial detainees reportedly overpowered police and made a run for it.
“The escapees escaped together with six other awaiting trial detainees after overpowering a police officer at Wolmaransstad police station holding cells at about 4:20 pm on Saturday, 13 August 2022,” said North West police spokesperson, Colonel Adéle Myburgh.
The six other detainees were re-arrested between Saturday and Sunday. Chacha and Molaetsi are still on the run.

“Members of the community are urged not to approach the escapees if seen, but to rather call the nearest police station, as the escapees are considered to be dangerous,” said Myburgh.
