DA welcomes investigations into drugs, weapons at Durban prison

“We trust that the implicated officials have been suspended pending the outcome of the investigation.

“Once the report is finalised, it must be tabled before the [parliamentary] portfolio committee on correctional services to be thoroughly interrogated,” DA shadow minister of correctional services James Selfe said.and said he had instructed officials to furnish him with a report explaining who the officials on duty were, whether they had been disciplined and whether a case had been opened with police for drug offences.

“Gangsters are well organised and bribe officials which undermines good order within prisons,” Selfe said Selfe said Lamola must ensure that there was strict access control and searches conducted not only on inmates but on prison officials as well.
