Deneysville - The search continues for one remaining inmate who was part of a group of seven that escaped from the Groenpunt Maximum Security Prison near Deneysville in the Free State last week.
Spokesperson for the National Department of Correctional Services, Logan Maistry, says authorities are working around the clock to re-arrest the remaining escapee after the other six were re-arrested since they managed to escape at around 02:00 last Thursday.
An investigation into how the inmates managed to break free continues.
Their crimes include robbery, rape, burglary and being in possession of illegal fire arms.
