The heat is on at the Mangaung Correctional Services after inmates furnished Eyewitness News with a memorandum that was submitted to G4S prison management as well as the Department of Correctional Services.
JOHANNESBURG - Tensions are high at the controversially G4S-run private prison, Mangaung Correctional Centre, in Bloemfontein following allegations of mismanagement.
The Mangaung Correctional Centre is where murder and rape convict Thabo Bester escaped from, in May last year. G4S has previously noted that upon expiry of the contract in 2026, the British-owned private security company would no longer be investing in correctional services in South Africa. “It was surprising when the same issues were raised, with the exception of a few recent cases. As per the standard operating procedures, issues brought to the attention of the department must be investigated and dealt with.
“The want the guy who wrote this thing. They want the guy. They even said to me they are aware that the guy who wrote this thing his surname starts with C - I told them I am not aware of that.”“Let them victimise only one of us here, we are going to destroy this prison. Within a minute, I’m telling you because they are still undermining us. We are not playing here; they think they are too clever because we are serving sentences here. They don’t know what we are planning each and every time.
