The Democratic Alliance has raised their concern about reports saying that the Community Corrections Branch of the Department of Correctional Services in Johannesburg is continuing to operate without an office.

This comes after allegations that the Department owes 2 million Rands in rent.

The DA’s media officer Cameron Arendse said that the parolees and the probationers are reportedly being forced to register and be interviewed at a single desk on the streets.

Arendse added that the situation places intolerable strain on both officials and parolees alike.
