Selfe, during a virtual meeting between the department and the portfolio committee on correctional services, wanted the department's delegation"to confirm or deny" allegations that it was planning the early released of the politician turned convict.
"Chair, I can indicate at this point in time, we do not really have a specific information for each individual while we're focusing on this Covid-19 special dispensation. We're looking at a number, we're not looking at a person," said Lucky Mthethwa, the chief security officer in the department. Speaking to TimesLIVE after the meeting, Selfe said it would be a sad day for the principle of equality before the law if Block would be released under the guise of Covid-19.
Bloem said his party would give correctional services 24 hours to officially confirm or deny the speculated early release of Block, failing which they would directly approach President Cyril Ramaphosa.
I'm hoping I'm having a bad dream and will soon wake up.
racinefleur Different parole applies to ANCLivingOffTheState cadres than to JanuszWalus. I guess it has to do with black saying 'we will never forgive'[Janusz Waluś] to whites saying 'we will never forget' [terrorist ANC]
This New Dawn is turning into a miserable day indeed.
He will be deployed as Mayor somewhere and continue eating money he stole
Typical
If hardcore criminals can be released as part of COVID19-related parole...why can't he?
CyrilRamaphosa’s myanc is the party of Absolutely No Consequences. statecapture junkstatus

BlackPrivilege
PresidencyZA RolandLamula Can you please explain this? CyrilRamaphosa
One of the 19 000? Thought sex pests are classified under same category as rapists? SA law that can't uphold the law
Dcsnational ronaldlamola I hope this is not going to create a bad precedent
If he qualifies according to the policies of the Department of Correctional services, why not.
If this is true, it will set a bad example. It will mean if you are a senior politician in the ANC, you can steal tax payers' money. When convicted, parole will be served to you. All of us might as well steal money.
RonaldLamola can you confirm or deny the above?
He is a comrade. Did you think he’ll go to jail? Hahaha. This is Satafrika where you and I will never get this type of treatment
That’s too easy. I guess we can do what we want. Let’s go to level 1.
Eish ubaba naye would be released by now if only he had gone to court and answered the allegations instead he used all the tricks in the book to avoid his day in court.
Arrested in 2015 entenced to 15 years for fraud as Mec of Finance Northern Cape effective from 2018 and eligible for parole in 2020. Justice?
We rejoice in charades in this country. Pity we cant raise the dead. Well, eish someone tried. But that's not the point now is it?
FW de Klerk is a free MAN.
Viva qabane
No ways that cannot and may not be possible!!!!!

ANC gives thumbs up to schools reopeningThe governing party has again congratulated its own government for the decision to re-open schools for Grade 7s and Grade 12 pupils on June 1 The issue wasn't that complicated. It was either they let children stay at home and as a result cancel the matric exam or take a chance and reopen schools so that the exams could be writen at the end And she made a choice. Can't even deliver text books - wonder how long will the masks and sanitizers get there But all ANC kids go to nice private schools, you know 15 - 20 in a classroom, teacher + assistance.
