Cellphones, dagga, cash, tv’s, and sharp items wrapped in cling wrap, were some of the contrabands confiscated at Pollsmoor Correctional Centre. Prison authorities conducted a raid there on Wednesday evening, in what officials say is part of nationwide targeted operations.
The National Commissioner Makgothi Thobakgale led the
crackdown, which he says is aimed at rooting out criminal networks and their
influence.
According to media reports, in one cell, 6 cellphones from one
of the prisoners awaiting trial, named 'Fabulous', were found. According to
Thobakgale, Fabulous is awaiting trial for a murder that occurred in
