It’s understood police detained a 39–year-old former employee of the Mangaung Correctional Centre at his home in Bloemfontein and a 65-year-old man from Port Edward in the Eastern Cape at the weekend.
Bester escaped from the facility in May 2020, after faking his death.
The criminal dubbed the Facebook rapist was arrested alongside his alleged accomplice Nandipha Magudumana in Tanzania.
The police’s Athlenda Mathe said both men will face charges related to aiding a convicted prisoner to escape from lawful custody.
Both men will appear in the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.
