Wow. We knew he was in the area, but that's almost too close for comfort...

C-Max escapee caught and shot
December 04, 2006, 10:15

Annanias Mathe, one of South Africa's most wanted criminals, has been shot near a squatter camp in Tembisa on the East Rand. It is understood he was picked up by a Netstar helicopter before abandoning the stolen car he was driving.

Mathe reportedly ran into one of the houses in Tembisa where he was caught. He then stabbed one of the Netstar personnel with a screw driver in the eye in a bid to flee.

Netstar officials then opened fire and shot him three times in the leg.

Mathe may be part of a large criminal syndicate
Police sources say Mathe is believed to be part of a large criminal syndicate operating between South Africa and Mozambique.

Correctional services are investigating the possibility that Mathe's escape from C-Max last month was an inside job.

Looks like he's dead, but there will always be the next one.

How did you know, are you a cop?

Unless his heart was in his leg, nothing suggests he is dead.

No, I'm a member of eblockwatch, and I received an SMS asking for the possibility of assistance (eyes, ears) based on my region.

Probably hit a main artery in one of his legs and he could've blead to death, easy as eating a pie.

Cool...commendable effort this eblockwatch.

I fully agree

Arrested by car trackers - not the police.

Shame on them...

Hope the wounded security guard gets the best treatment possible.

I guess he has his lucky stars to thank that the SAPS did not find him. I would think that they would like to put him in a place where there would be no escaping

Exactly what I was thinking.

Useless Netstar ... they should have aimed higher.

 

[chiskop]

'Houdini' gets urgent operation

My advice - surgically insert a wheelspanner in his pelvis, should make climbing through 20cm windows a little more tricky.

 

[native]

netstar should install a tracker on him

 

[Raithlin]

He was caught on Monday morning after stealing a car during a house robbery in Craighall Park.
...
Mathe faces 51 charges, including murder, attempted murder, rape, hijacking and armed robbery, said De Beer.

Will that be 53 now?

 

[Syndyre]

Useless Netstar ... they should have aimed higher.

And the cops should have caught him themselves. Either way at least he's back in custody, hope he stays there this time!

Poor guy that got stabbed in the eye.
