Minister of Correctional Services Sibusiso Ndebele has once again reiterated that his department will not tolerate corrupt officials. 

This is after a DSC official who was employed at the department’s legal services directorate was sentenced to five years imprisonment after he was dismissed for fraud. 

Another official is still set to stand trial in the same case. 

Ministerial Spokesperson Logan Maistry said the Minister told the staff the crime and corruption will not be tolerated in any form. Correctional Official`s behaviour has a direct influence on the lives of inmates.
