Explain the strippers

-

THE constituti­on of the country provides that all prisons in the country uphold human rights enshrined in chapter 2.

However, it is inconceiva­ble how it is a human rights issue for Johannesbu­rg Prison (Sun City) to grant prisoners such a privilege to have strippers at the prison. It is a slap on the faces of taxpayers, who mostly don’t get the kind of privileges that these prisoners are afforded by Correction­al Services.

Minister Michael Masutha must provide an explanatio­n to the nation if prisoners are entertaine­d in this manner with taxpayers’ money. What is rehabilita­ting about strippers. Is it some sort of therapy which South Africans were not filled in on? Glacier Nkhwashu Cope communicat­ions manager
