The George Regional Court sentenced Johannes Boesak, Ryno Joubert, Hayworth Botha and Daniel Bruiners who are members of the 28s prison gang to life imprisonment after they murdered another 28s prison gang member.

On 31 October 2017, Boesak and the Graeme Fillies had an altercation. Boesak lost a finger after Fillies hacked it off with a panga. He went to hospital and went to look for Fillies for revenge after he was discharged.

The Protea Magistrates' Court postponed the case against Flavio Hlabangwane to 30 November 2021 for hearing of an application for the accused to undergo mental observation.

The court was informed that the accused attempted to take his life on two occasions, hence the application for his mental state to be examined.

The court further ordered that he be detained at the hospital section in Johannesburg Correctional Services as he may require medical attention and/or special care.
