Pretoria - Mozambican national Annanias Mathe has been moved to a revamped cell at Pretoria's C-Max prison after being released from hospital, the SABC reported on Tuesday.

Mathe, who faces more than fifty charges including murder, attempted murder, rape, hijacking and armed robbery, escaped from the country's most secure prison over two weeks ago.

He was wounded and re-arrested on Monday after a car which he stole was tracked to Tembisa on the East Rand.

An employee of Altech Netstar, the company which tracked the car, chased Mathe, and was stabbed in the face during a tussle.

Shots were fired, and Mathe was hit in the buttocks and legs.

Meanwhile Mathe's court case was postponed on Tuesday.

He was charged in absentia for escaping from jail.

His brother Lawrence, and Celso Cossa were also arrested.

They appeared in the Pretoria regional court on Tuesday on charges of helping Mathe evade police custody.

It was reported that Lawrence and Cossa drove Mathe away during his escape.

Mathe was expected to back in court on January 26.
