The Pretoria Magistrate’s Court found criminal Bongani Moyo guilty on Tuesday of escaping from custody and sentenced him to another three years in prison.

Magistrate Len Miller said escaping from lawful custody was a serious crime for which the court had to impose a term of imprisonment.

The court had also taken into account that Moyo was appearing on charges of serious offences the day he escaped.

Moyo got up and left the court building in August after being made to sit on a bench outside the courtroom where he was appearing. He was apparently on crutches at the time.
