The Democratic Alliance has welcomed the investigation into two videos which allegedly show inmates of the Durban Westville correctional facility openly doing drugs and being given weapons by officials.
According to media reports, Justice and Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola has ordered an investigation into the matter. Corruption should have no place in society, yet it was rife within the entire prison system and the prevalence of gangsterism was well known. Gangsters were well organised and bribed officials which undermined good order within prisons.
Lamola could not hope that the systemic problems in correctional services would disappear “as if his appointment will sweep the issues up”. For starters, he could ensure that there was strict access control and searches conducted not only on inmates but on prison officials as well.
