Mduduzi Zama was nabbed by officers after he was seen in Ward 4 in Scottburgh's Amandawe area yesterday. 

Police say he suffered dog bites to his hand and leg during his arrest. 

Zama initially arrested on several charges of housebreaking before he escaped from the Scottburgh Magistrates’ Court last week. 

He allegedly misrepresented himself as another accused who had paid a fine for a drug related offence and was released. 

He now faces a further charge of escaping from lawful custody.
