Is Miles Bhudu TRYING to assist Matlala ESCAPE? An Activist or Enabler of Criminals?

Описание: In this video, I take a closer look at Miles Bhudu, a self-described prisoners’ rights activist who has publicly criticised the transfer of Vusumuzi “Cat” Matlala to Kokstad Maximum Correctional Centre.

Bhudu has questioned whether proper legal and correctional procedures were followed in Matlala’s transfer, including whether the Judicial Inspectorate for Correctional Services (JICS) — often referred to as the Correctional Services Inspecting Judge — was consulted. He has also raised concerns about the secrecy of the transfer, Matlala being moved far from his family, and the lack of immediate public explanation.

However, serious questions arise about who Miles Bhudu is, his past conduct, and whether he is a credible voice in this debate.

Following responses from correctional authorities and public records, Bhudu is revealed to be a highly controversial figure, with a history that includes:

Previous criminal conviction
A conviction related to assisting an attempted prison escape involving Israeli national Moti Sabag
Allegations of intimidating ICCVs (Independent Correctional Centre Visitors) — the very individuals tasked with protecting prisoners’ rights
Accusations of inciting hostility between inmates and correctional officials

This raises a fundamental question:
👉 Why should the public trust the objections of someone with a history of undermining correctional oversight mechanisms?

Prisoners’ rights activism exists to protect lawful human rights within detention, not to:

Incite violence
Undermine prison oversight structures
Or enable criminal networks under the guise of human rights

I also examine whether Bhudu’s defence of Matlala is genuinely about procedure and rights, or whether it risks shielding individuals involved in serious criminal investigations, particularly those linked to politically sensitive cases.

Finally, this video asks a broader question facing South Africa today:
Are we confusing accountability with activism — and at what cost to justice, transparency, and public trust?
