Johannesburg - The death of a Leeuwkop Correctional Services prisoner, allegedly beaten for close to an hour after he had an altercation with another inmate, is under investigation.
“He stabbed the inmate and afterwards they took him to the office and the guards started beating him. From what I know, the members that were in the office were all beating him,” he said. The inmate added the incident occurred at around 8.30am on Monday and Mhlongo was taken to the hospital at around 10am.
“The DCS has launched an investigation following a security-related incident at Leeuwkop Medium A Correctional Centre, Gauteng, yesterday , where an inmate, sentenced to 25 years imprisonment for housebreaking and theft, died after allegedly attempting to stab a fellow offender with a self-made knife,” he said.
“According to the information at my disposal, a prisoner sold substandard nyaope to another prisoner . The prisoner found out during the course of the night while he was smoking this nyaope that it was substandard so his fellow gangster affiliates were very angry at him for bringing substandard nyaope,” he said.
