Amílcar Olivares Cárdenas, 46, escaped from the Colina II Penitentiary Center on Sunday afternoon. The man charged with robbery with intimidation bypassed the high-security facility's controls, triggering a joint search operation by Gendarmería, Carabineros, and the PDI. Authorities acknowledge protocol breaches and will examine why his monitoring was not intensified despite a prior escape in 2009.
A retired police officer told the Madlanga Commission that a monthly security contract costing R593.56 lapsed years before thieves stole R200 million worth of cocaine from a Hawks building in Port Shepstone. The theft occurred in November 2021 after repeated warnings about inadequate protection went unheeded. Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga described the situation as mind-boggling.

A bus carrying 55 passengers from Zimbabwe to Cape Town has been intercepted in the Free State, the third such incident this month. It held 29 undocumented individuals, including seven minors, while 26 were documented. The vehicle was diverted to a testing centre due to safety defects and an unlicensed driver.
