The department of correctional services says it has beefed up its security following a damning video showing prisoners doing illegal acts behind bars.
Department spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo dismissed the video as old, but assured the public the matter had been attended to. “It’s an old video. This incident happened in 2018 at Goodwood correctional [centre]. It was investigated and inmates were charged. A search operation was conducted and a number of mobile phones were confiscated,” Nxumalo said in his reply to SowetanLIVE's sister publication TimesLIVE.The video was posted this week by anti-crime activist Yusuf Abramjee and has gone viral. It was allegedly shot by an inmate using a cellphone.
“The thing is, those criminals ain't afraid of breaking the law because they know that when they get caught they will go live life as normal in prison,” wrote another.
