The Minister of Correctional Services Sbu Ndebele on Monday said that it would have been too optimistic to think that none of the offenders, who received special remission, would re-offend.

The Democratic Alliance has said that two offenders are rearrested on average every day.

The DA’s Shadow Minister of correctional services James Selfe says these offenders are re-offending simple because they were not ready to be released.

He also said that the Minister has to come to Parliament and explain why is that so many people had re-offended after their released.

He added that the number of the rearrested re-offenders is too high.
