Punish prison officials

- Themba Makeleni

THE National Council of Trade Unions (Nactu) has vehemently criticised what has happened in Johannesbu­rg Prison recently.

Nactu, as the voice of workers, rejects with the contempt it deserves any action that jeopardise­s any working environmen­t. Nactu says for the prison management to bring strippers onto the jail premises was unacceptab­le.

This federation says whoever has endorsed it must face a disciplina­ry hearing. Jails are still plagued by sodomy and sexual abuse of inmates.

Nactu calls on whoever was responsibl­e to face the music because all this involved the budget of the correction­al services which is taxpayers’ money.

This Johannesbu­rg prison, popularly known as Sun City, was seen to be enticing those behind bars.

Correction­al Services centres must not destroy the little that has been achieved by inmates. Nactu media relations officer
