Drugs, cellphones and a PS4 - Search and raid at JHB prison

[@elenasmith6401]

These prisoners sit around doing nothing all day long. No wonder the prisons are in the state it's in. Get these people to work, cleaning roads, building and fixing roads, cleaning the cities.

[@neermalapillay8016]

Yes high they become useful when they are in prison every human should pay for their upkeep no matter where they are

[@neermalapillay8016]

Prisoners get them working high time they must earn their bread

[@frankmoffitt1391]

That's oom piets idea ,they are going to be making desks chairs and starting farming , stuff will be sold to government and money reinvest in prisons

[@BongiNgxekisa]

That can only happen when SA has a government , it can not happen in the next 100 years. Remember these human rights organizations that are always winning against our state in all cases

[@James.Gnostic.Galahad]

Good idea, but are they going to be paid for that? If yes, everyone else will commit crime to go to jail and get employment.

[@Gustav_Smit]

Pieter Groenewald will be the best Minister of Correctional Services that South Africa will ever see✊️👏

[@rinaodendaal-ry2nt]

I agree GOD bless Minister Groenewalt❤

[@slimemcmahon4883]

I swear!

[@nombuzoedithmahlangu3755]

I said it the day I heard He is the minister

[@igame6823]

Welele, raids were done before him and will be done after him

[@BonginkosiMoyo-kp4nr]

I agree with you 💯 l was willing him to be a police minister 😢

[@JMD98989]

The previous Minister should be fired from all Govt duties. This was happening under is watch

[@neoqwabe8581]

This is not USA! Instead, Lamola is promoted.

[@LouisaMoloi]

Thank you so much Minister Pieter Groenewald. Good job. I can't believe we've waited for 30 years for this raid to happen. There are top ranking officers in charge of each and every shift, but they don't their work. They are getting fat salaries for nothing.

[@BongiNgxekisa]

You can raid again tomorrow you will still find those things . SA needs independent thinkers to lead our institutions .

[@tobolee6385]

Lifestyle audits on all prison officers

[@kooskoekemoer]

They are planning to install signal jammers in prisons to block all communication on cellphones. Why haven't they think of this before? At least someone is thinking now.

[@gameZA40]

[@tshepomahooa9597]

[@JMD98989]

Given a promotion

[@malnaai6467]

exactly. the wardens are key to this. They pretending like its all the criminals fault. but the ppl watching the criminals are criminals themselves.

[@bongieGodsfavdaughter]

Good question hey

[@Alex-so5ly]

Thank you

[@mybru1]

DR groenewald said that he will no longer tolerate corruption from wardens. He gave an order that corrupt wardens be arrested

[@farmthreads5679]

Mooi mnr Groenewald

[@acidicsoul4978]

I think they started taking this raid seriously after SA complained when we saw a guy bragging that prison life is good. Seeing this makes me happy.

A futile exercise,done to please the uninformed .How does all the contraband get into the prison cells???????

[@ElginDuPreez]

This national commissioner looks very lazy but wants to take credit for raids as if hes doing his job. Dankie Oom Pieter

[@sekwenasekhu]

Did oom pinter lead the raid

[@georgesaaiman]

In the communal cell I saw a tv with electrical wires running to it. I thought tv's were not allowed in cells never mind routing power there. No power no cellphones no PS4. Why are raids being done now only in response to the video and the public outcry because of it? Looking at the amount of contraband there hasn't been a raid or a cell toss in years. The raids should be done on a national scale not only in this one prison.

[@E.Snyman]

And on a regular basis!

[@xolisamfobo2934]

Raids have always been done 😘

[@georgesaaiman]

@@xolisamfobo2934 I think the cell toss's where the prison itself does the searches...yes...maybe...But raids where different departments SAPS, dog unit etc are used notifying or preferrably not notifying said prison where the prisoners can be tipped of by currupt guards are not done. No way if you look at the amount contraband found. I can however only talk about the NC where I am.

[@tusanimbatha7938]

Days like these make feel interested in becoming a cop

[@ChristopherHuman]

Iyoh even xbox 360 is present in the prisons, check the prison wardens.

Really the previous minister should be fired from all government duties, this is embarrassment.

Well-done minister for your good start,you bring back the dignity of our beloved country.thanks for those who voted you.GNU we are so proud of you.and you are in our prayers,fear not God is on your side❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💃💃💃🙏

[@Heinrich.Fourie]

Ps4 in prison and the guards did not see that they allowed all that stuff in prison no wonder they are not scared to go back.

I can't afford ps4 while I'm outside 😮

[@SomeOfMyBusiness]

What is the lipstick for? Genuine question.

[@Sleepy_interlude]

In other to eradicate the unlawnessness in our correctional facilities we need to uproot the root of the problems we need thorough investigations all of this ,electronics and drugs had to go through the wardens coz there is no way prisoners managed to get them in the cells without help

[@NtokozaPearlKhaula]

Thank you Minister

[@Bernard04-j8f]

Just put phone jammers around the prison

[@tammywalls3455]

It shocks me to see this but not surprised. It’s a prison not a hotel .well done minister Pieter I see a lot of improvements in South Africa already

[@melusishange3471]

Human Rights commission is coming, to say inmates got a right to have access to drugs, PlayStations, cellphone’s and etc

[@AyandaHK]

I agree too much rights when you go to prison you get incarcerated according to the rules of the prison not your rules

[@israelmudodzwa674]

All beacause of a person who can't keep quiet😂😂😂😂😂

[@omolemophaoe]

[@zamuxolongubane5766]

Just think of your dog at home if you keep in in Chains behind the building🏠 where he doesn't see people he ends up biting people😢 the day you sees a person he doesn't know keeping prisoners without giving them entertainment and something that will heal the psychological suppression that will lead to gang violence and the King violence is dangerous for the officials who are working inside the premises whereby they be in danger because the game members always thinking of stebbings someone😢... and let's not forget what is the meaning of correctional service 🤔

This is an inevitable result and is not surprising to say the least. Anybody who expected any different is living in a dream world. The fact This made headlines news in South Africa is laughable. This is stale news gone bad. Someone is trying to act like they actually care. There is a cancer that gas been spreading long before today. Speak to our so called freedom fighters who have been adorned as heroes for spending time in our jails, they know all to well about smuggling of all types of much required items from the outside to the deepest recesses of the the correctional facilities in every province. The legally appointed mafias are at the helm of this money making inlets. Anything at a price, including but not limited to day excursions into the land of the free for those who have the right money and the right connections. Don't take my word for it. Find someone who did time, and he'll gleefully boast of his experiences, at the cost of a loose. That's all it takes. He'll rap better than Tupac
