South Africans are urged to remain alert following the mass escape of over 6,000 inmates from Mozambique’s Maputo Central Prison on 25 December 2024. This unprecedented incident, linked to post-election unrest in Mozambique,
raises significant security concerns for neighbouring countries, including South Africa.
On Christmas Day, a protest near Maputo Central Prison escalated into chaos, leading to the collapse of a prison wall. Thousands of inmates took advantage of the situation and escaped, including 29 individuals convicted of terrorism.
Security forces confronted the fleeing prisoners, resulting in at least 33 deaths and 15 injuries.
Despite these efforts, a significant number of fugitives remain unaccounted for.
THE CONCERNS FOR SOUTH AFRICA:
The prison escape in Mozambique could pose a serious security threat to South Africa. The key concerns are:
POROUS BORDERS:
Mozambique and South Africa share a long and relatively porous border. Fugitives may attempt to cross into South Africa to evade capture, potentially leading to an influx of individuals with criminal backgrounds.
TERRORISM RISK:
Among the escapees are 29 individuals convicted of terrorism. This raises concerns about the possibility of extremist activities spilling into South Africa.
Historically, South Africa has been vigilant about regional terrorism threats.
ORGANISED CRIME:
Some escapees have ties to organised crime syndicates, including groups operating in South Africa.
Their presence could exacerbate crime rates and undermine local security.
INCREASED PRESSURE ON BORDER SECURITY:
South Africa’s border with Mozambique may face heightened strain as authorities work to prevent fugitives from entering.
This will likely require additional resources and coordination.
ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL STABILITY:
Instability in Mozambique can have ripple effects on South Africa, as both countries share economic ties.
Unrest and lawlessness in Mozambique could disrupt cross-border trade and regional cooperation.
GOVERNMENT AND REGIONAL RESPONSE:
The South African government, in collaboration with the Southern African Development Community (SADC), is implementing the following measures:
Strengthening border controls and surveillance.
Enhancing intelligence-sharing with Mozambican authorities.
Preparing for any humanitarian or security fallout resulting from Mozambique’s unrest.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: All potential clients need to be aware that owing to the nature of our work as specialist investigators there are people who have been caught on the wrong side of the law - who are trying to discredit me - Mike Bolhuis and my organisation Specialised Security Services - to get themselves off the hook.

Furthermore, you are welcome to address your concerns directly with me should you still be unsatisfied with your conclusions.
