Correctional services spokesperson, Singabakho Nxumalo spoke with eNCA's Uveka Rangappa. Courtesy ofMany of those recently arrested for alleged looting have tested positive.The department said this is putting strain on an already overburdened system.
Correctional Services' Singabakho Nxumalo said,"every newly admitted person must be isolated. As they come in in big numbers, we have to put them in isolation. We have to move other inmates from other sections, convert into isolation sites, so that's where we're also feeling the pressure. .. we can't be having our facilities declared superspreaders. that's something we can't afford to have.
O nongoloza baphathelwe iStoko
Well that's very lame to make a headline with, moving them to other Provinces where the was no looting
The headline is disturbing for me.. 'Correctional facilities are overcrowded after looting arrests. Reads better.. There's a reason why it's called Correctional Services...
is that bad huh yooo sata frica lol😨
Build more prisons. Didn't Cyril the Spineless promise more infrstructure?
Daa!
These violent delights have violent endings... These people keep voting for the ANC so they can riot against it ... Like what's so hard for voting for another party .. these ones are selfish South Africans, don't care about anyone other than themselves. 💔💔 Saddening
Wow 😲 how ironic couldn't the looters reconsider that while they were looting they could've thought about themselves being arrested and congesting the cells
What i experienced in Port shepstone prison/Holding made me doubts that covid is Real. Because cell 5 was made to occupy 12 people but we end-up being 28-30 in the weekend of 16-19 July 2021 due to Looting.
These thugs will continue causing problems wen they r released. Best way is to wake them up at 1 am to start tilling the land. They must nt just seat there & eat. They must feel that they r in prison, nt a prison even going on hunger strike to focr government to give nice meal
Our prisons were overcrowded long ago. Just like our schools
And others who defy orders of the country's constitutional court are adding to the overcrowding and making things worse...
Release the ones that are unemployed and first time offenders. Keep those who are employed. Keep those who are repeat offenders. Keep those who are wanted for other crimes.
Deport illegal immigrants
Let them deport the foreign prisoners. The prisons will be empty
Abramjee 🤣👍
More prisons are needed,stop looting and build more prisons for all offenders including corrupt politicians.
Y'all knew this would happen right 😂🤣😂
This is great news, the SA taxpayer should NOT be made to support these criminals, their own families should be made to feed and cloth them, they are criminals not saints, they must suffer and learn not to re offend. Let them suffer, they should not even be given a blanket
Bakhipheni angithi uZuma uboshiwe
More soap will be dropped
Bayekeni bahlale pha, balootane
Bring back death penalty
Abramjee If we had the death penalty for murder, rape, etc, we wouldn’t have overcrowded jails
The streets of Gauteng and KZN are filthy. Perhaps you allow them to start cleaning for the next 6months under the supervision of SANDF. Let them work for free those looters.
Build mobile prisons for them
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No but they ate the food they stole
So what happened to your vaccination program that wax launched with a lot of fanfare.
It’s a Covid bash… super spreader
Build more prisons.
Don’t worry about the prisoners sir they know why they there
They were crowded when looting
Let them do LOTS of community service!! Clean up the messes they're responsible for!!
Transfer them to Estcourt
Transfer them to other provinces,
Send these thieves to robben island plenty accommodation there.
lol 😂
Deport all foreigners prisoners back to their country of origin and problem solved.
isn't that what they wanted to put President Zuma and his supporters INN, it's not our problem they didn't think out side the box.... You rip what you saw, what am asking ma self is what are you going to do, they're in they must be sentenced, and it's overcrowded
They must sleep on top of each other. It's a prison not a hotel.
Free the poor
😴
How many people were arrested kanti? How many prisons were they taken to 🤔? Some thing is not adding up here.
I'm now convinced that jail is for the poor
Ok
I'm surprised they're still locked up! Thought they'd be let go after a day or two. I hope they've learnt their lesson - don't just do because others are doing it✌️
Preposterous, how many people were even arrested for that?
Just let the looters go
CRIME IS CRIME WHETHER HUGE OR SMALL AND IT DOESN'T PAY........
THEY MUST REMAIN THERE
Mkhipheni 😂😂
i wish i was in the middle of that goup - for non work reasons. lol! happiness!
They should be transferred to Estcourd prison where their Ubaba Zuma is that prison seen to have lesser inmates
😂😂😂😂😂 people actually went to jail for this. Eish it's a pity, I saw teenagers getting arrested, good luck getting that criminal record removed in the next 10 years. So if u 20, you will get your first meaningful job at 30.
At least they'll get vaccinated
Chain gangs. Make them clean up parks, pavements, schools, hospital grounds. Lots to do
Free the weed dealers and make more room for the looters
Gaba nyokiwe 😂😂😂
Transfer those thieves to other provinces that have empty prisons
As they should ffs, this not cancun
Roben Island is empty
Looters move in numbers. They must be really feeling at home
Tears grips my heart knowing how hard I’ve struggled to find a legit trader. I never wanted to do this but I’ll be guilty if I don’t share this good news to people shantelll_142 is the best trader so far.Thanks for helping me and i will forever be grateful to you shantelll_142
Ori_Debig_Beats Was waiting for this🙄
Covid recipe fr disaster
Atleast there is plenty of fish inthe river for those looking for girlfriends. They will see that crime does not pay Pity for those who just wanted to loot something to eat for the night
Another excuse to build more jails and not schools And keep giving them fancy names like correctional services rehabilitation centers When what it really does is create more angry and brainwashed society

Looting of trucks seen as a ’crime without consequences’ on SA highwaysThe owner of a security company dedicated to ensuring that heavy-duty vehicles reach their destinations safely believes looting has fast become a popular trend because it was seen as a crime without consequences.
