Spokesperson for the non-profit SAPOHR Golden Miles Budhu said in a statement late on Saturday it was informed by “reliable sources” that inmate Mandla Madonsela, accused of stabbing Waluś on Tuesday, had embarked on an indefinite hunger strike.However correctional services spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo told TimesLIVE on Sunday the department is “not aware of a hunger strike by any inmate”.
“As a department we shall never give credence to organisations seeking media prominence ... This is no time for opportunism. We have an inmate who was stabbed and the alleged perpetrator has to face the music.”Waluś, whose release on parole was ordered by the Constitutional Court last week, was stabbed at Kgosi Mampuru II prison in Pretoria two days before his scheduled release. Waluś’ parole will be finalised after he has received clearance from his medical team.
