The Department of Correctional
Services on Friday said it views the allegations of forcible injection of
offenders as well as electroshocks to subdue and control offenders in a very
serious light.
Minister of Correctional Services
Sibusiso Ndebele said no stone will be left unturned in the investigation into
the Mangaung Private Correctional Centre.
Chief Deputy Commissioner of
Incarceration and Corrections James Smalberger said the minister also announced
and expressed his confidence in the DCS team
which is led by Zak Modise to manage and continue with the investigation as
they invoke section 112 of the Correctional Services Act on the 09th
of October to ensure that stability returns to Mangaung because it was clear
that the situation was not under control.
“Our team will continue restore law
and order into the prison,” Smalburger added
