Question NW1325 to the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
15 August 2023 - NW1325
Yako, Ms Y to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
Whether he has engaged Justice Cameron to ascertain the reasons he decided to disclose the escape of Thabo Bester to GroundUp; if not, why not; if so, what are the reasons that he never informed him and/or Parliament on his suspicions about the matter? NW1490E
Reply:
No,
The Portfolio Committee in its meeting on this matter thoroughly examined the issue; amongst other things, as to why Justice Cameron chose to disclose the details of the escape incident to the media in the way that he did. Therefore, there is no need to probe the matter further.
