National Commissioner of the Department of Correctional Services, Makgothi Thobakgale, joins #Newzroom405's Xoli Mngambi in the studio to discuss the state of prisons in the country.

I agree that they punish him, but I must go further and say this, they must charge the officials in charge of that facility and do the same to all prisons the tax payers are getting lambasted with fuel hikes food prices through the roof and still pay these guys .hope the GNU improve this BS

@Tsie1 2 месяца назад

A lot of children don't even have access to cellphones, laptops, and data to improve their studies. While studying they don't have any food and load shedding hence they use candles, paraffin and cold water to bathe. While prisoners are in the hotel they have everything.

@balenidumisani296 2 месяца назад

Aaah aaah those who were released through remission they then re-offended. Tells you a lot about CORRECTIONAL services. There's no correction taking place. Some people enter prison cells as first time offenders and come out as hard-core criminals. It's sad

@lucindacollins5428 2 месяца назад

It's so unfair as a law abiding citizen we firstly can't even study additionally to that obtain a laptop but prisoners have this right.How is it OK for criminals to have rights and privileges we as law abiding citizens dream of having.

Minister Pieter Groenewald will clean up this mess. It's not the prisoners fault entirely. They were provided a gap by corrupt officials and a break in security protocol. Thabo Bester is a prime example.

@nosiphosobekwa9316 Месяц назад

Their standards are very weak. Prisoners must be prisoners. NO MERCY. He must encounter security Problems, as a prisoner. They save offenders instead of the people of South Africans. Zimbabweans must be deported after serving.

@nathidyidi8867 29 дней назад

There's one important thing they are missing about those cellphones they got from the prisoners, those cellphones supposed to be screened. There is a lot of information which can be found from those cellphones which can assist the law enforcement to bring those crime syndicates into books for different types of crimes. Find his/her cellphone, let him/her to sign a consent form allowing to page his phone and hand it to the investigator to deal with it in line with his/her crime

@Stitch-g8r 2 месяца назад

I blame the ANC for this. Giving jobs for people who do not qualify to serve in the Correction services walked into senior posts. These people were brought in from different provinces, because they had the right skin colour. The coloureds in Cape Town who stood in line for promotion, lost that to those were imported. Useless bunch.

Xoli, because Zuma waa released on remission considering his medical condition doesn't mean Zuma must then die to prove the fact that he was not well. He was released so that he can best get medical attention outside. Stop being petty. And what is this thing of asking people to apologize? The guy now must own up to the decisions of individuals who have their own agency to made decisions. Haybo

@mhlongobonga3572 2 месяца назад

Prisoners get free education whilst normal citizen have to pay loans and starve on the streets. These centers are not correctional facilities because they were in herited from Apartheid regime hence the white paper and corrections act should be change or be mixed with Prison act give rehabilitation to 15 & below but 15 & above be Prisoned also be treated as cheap labor..
