The Correctional Services Minister Sibusiso Ndebele on Monday held a meeting with the senior leadership of the Police and Prison Civil Rights Union and the public servants association of South Africa in Tshwane, Geuteng.

Minister Spokesperson Logan Maistry said the aim of the meeting is to strengthen relationships through regular engagements, with organised labour in the Department of correctional services.

Maistry said the Minister found that South African prisons are the most overcrowded prisons in Africa.

He added that they seek to share information and appreciate and recognise the role played by organised labour in supporting the transformation agenda of the crime prevention and security cluster.
