He trully is a communicator, clear simple english straight to the point. Love the linguistic inteference❤.

[@sollynkgalabimankga6012]

The passion and knowledge from this leader is amazing , all the best to him 🙏🏾🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LehlohonolorobertKhumalo-z9w]

He knows his story

[@senzokuhlemthenjana7149]

Beautiful interview it's evident that he's a master in his profession. King David thanks for the wonderful show

[@thuthukanimasoka2197]

That's the most disturbing statement "we ask them if they are willing to serve their sentence in their country of origin"? First and foremost they are in a country illegally, secondly they have committed a crime now you give them an option? There is something wrong there with our legal system. We have our own people who are law abiding citizens, they are never given any options. They are left to fend for themselves. If being a part of AU is causing us to be bullied then we need to reconsider our membership. We cannot be giving illegal immigrants who are also criminals any options. That's disgusting.

[@fusi8352]

aaaaai thugs has more rights than law abiding citizens.

[@bellatalkssa405]

That last part was very important!!! It is very disgusting indeed

[@TheSekhosanaFamily]

it clearly seems like they are being funded by something to keep them within SA

[@sechabadiphoko6465]

After that statement I stopped watching the entire interview 😡😡😡 yhoo

[@thuthukanimasoka2197]

@sechabadiphoko6465 I don't blame you bro.

If ubizelwe into, it's just becomes "you". This was beautiful to watch, well done Singa. So many upsetting things though, this constitution was never for us SAns. It's draining..

Wooow!! Shout out to bhuti Singah!! I clicked as soon as I saw his name on this favourite channel of mine, mkhaya wami kwaNjoko🎉🎉

[@givenmbongenimashego3430]

its so disheartening to see how the South African system can be counterintuitive. A prisoner can earn a degree while incarcerated, while a diligent student struggles to secure funding. This raises questions about the education systems priorities and whether it adequately rewards hard work.

[@joymofokeng5440]

Is not as easy as you think it is

[@Elora_rr]

@@joymofokeng5440enlighten us please

[@lebogangnyatlo1334]

​@@joymofokeng5440explain joy.....the problem with this rehabilitation system is that the leniency forms a precedent that life in prison is not so bad.....that's why so many don't feel afraid to go back in

[@qenehelokhaile4688]

That qualification is largely useless as organisations do not employ individuals that have a criminal record. Another waste of state funds

uMnguni, what a great spin doctor. Well trained civil servant on how to say nothing and seem to BE saying something. He spoke theory all the way.

[@vjchabane9795]

No he did not. `Why are you lying

[@lebogangnyatlo1334]

​@vjchabane9795 unfortunately you are not willing to face the hard truth. Correction centers are not doing much if we look at the statistics of reoffenders and the subsequent offenses they commit. Prison and the justice system is a joke in SA which is why the crime issues in Mzansi will not be dealt with any time soon

[@vjchabane9795]

@@lebogangnyatlo1334 But my guy where did you develop the thought that crime has a capability of ever being dealt with? Crime is a human phenomenon that will exist for eternity, we found it here and will leave it here. You’re asking for the impossible. Commit crime, go to jail, reoffend, go back to jail… simple. Those who wanna charge will change, Those who do not will not change. You wanna blame the prison and justice for adult choices…

[@Syk-qu3fi]

We don't have a Justice system in this Colony perhaps a legal system determined to Criminalize Ordinary people

Ntate Nxumalo sounds like someone who knows his work a lot wow as a person who once loved working at the DCS I am aware of a lot happening and he said a lot that left me believing that he knows and understands his department...thank you David

[@jacobgondo3741]

Great show, cant help but be left with more questions in my head than answers. Feels a lot like the bigger battle is aligning the government entities that operate the institutions. Not just the prisons but the involvement of DHA, Dep Health etc.

[@nonhlanhlamokoena539]

55:41 It doesn't make sense that they have to ask a foreign inmate if they want to serve time in their country or here. If you are found in the streets you are deported, no questions asked but once you commit a crime you can negotiate, WOW

[@gloriamkhize9586]

Unfortunately the Human Rights go a long way. It's a humanity issue

[@thammysithole8423]

South africa has the most nicest and more lenient prisons in Africa and in the world, where a foreign prisoner is even afforded an opportunity to choose where to go and serve what to eat ,at whose tax payers income, Viva anc and eff for illegal foreigners

The issue of inmates case being thrown out and he claims they just dissappear while some have underlying issues. Kganthe what is the job of the prison escort, are they not supposed to have the info regarding all prisoners attending court on the day?

[@lebogangnyatlo1334]

Thank you....i asked the same question

[@khulekaninyuswa721]

Chief you are actually incorrect about not being able to pickup a phone and call whoever you want.... My brother use to call me daily when he was behind bar's! We chatted on socials etc. Now I know this isn't news to you because you are aware of this so please don't undermine US chief!

[@lebogangnyatlo1334]

I was wondering how women used to meet inmates on facebook, exit, bbm and recently WhatsApp. We're in trouble as a nation

[@_theerealnono_7694]

They're even on dating apps. Imagine.

[@tashdesky]

I disagree with some of the stuff Mr Nxumalo is defending but I realize that he is also guided by the constitution. These human rights need to be evaluated and adapted to the issues that we are facing. Someone who takes someone's last right which is life, is still eligible to rights and rights that are better than someone who is obedient and abides to the laws of the country. I guess we need to change this human rights as a society because they are no longer serving the purpose of which they were initially intended,

Honestly all these guys can do is make sure prisoners don't escape. David maybe it's time to have ur 1st anonymous interview, preferably a Judge that can answer all our questions honestly without fear. Conditions of bail,bribesin the system,illegal foreigners committing crime (can a judge make an order for a perpetrator to serve jail in his country) are they really independent, is legal aid really helping the poor and vulnerable, does a protest outside the court have an impact, rape/gbv stats, political cases etc.

[@selloletswalo7329]

While I acknowledge the importance of rehabilitation in the correctional system, I am deeply concerned about the current priorities and resource allocation within South Africa’s prisons. It seems that inmates are provided with benefits such as free education, meals, and other services that are often inaccessible to law-abiding citizens. For instance, consider the hypothetical case where an individual commits a serious crime, such as harming someone’s loved one, and is then arrested. That person might now have access to three meals a day, educational opportunities, and other forms of support-all funded by taxpayers. This can feel like an injustice to victims and their families, as well as to struggling members of the public who don’t receive similar levels of assistance. While I understand that international conventions like the United Nations guidelines emphasize the rights of inmates, I believe it is time for South Africa to establish its own framework that prioritizes the needs of victims and society. We should not be bound by international standards that may not fully align with the unique challenges we face in our country. The funds currently used to provide services for inmates could be redirected to support victims of crime, improve public safety, and uplift communities affected by crime. It is unfair that victims often receive little to no support while resources are poured into the rehabilitation of offenders. Some potential negatives of the current approach include: Strain on Resources: The government spends significant funds on correctional services that could be allocated to improving schools, healthcare, or social welfare programs for law-abiding citizens and victims. Perceived Inequity: It may seem unfair that inmates receive opportunities that law-abiding citizens have to work hard to access. Inadequate Deterrence: Overly comfortable prison conditions might fail to serve as a deterrent to crime. Impact on Victims: Victims and their families might feel that the system prioritizes offenders over justice and reparation. Rehabilitation is essential, but it should not come at the expense of justice, fairness, or the well-being of victims. South Africa needs to adopt a system that balances rehabilitation with accountability and ensures that resources are directed where they are most needed-toward supporting victims and preventing crime.

Beautiful interview but I have to disagree with you do attend to reported cases specially when it comes to domestic violence, I was living in Kroonstad when I was dating a guy called Thabang Molokoane I opened so many cases for that guy, but nothing was done the police never had vans available and then eventually when the a white lady helped doctors where not willing to fill in the injury form(can't even remember what the name of the form was) I think IR88 or something and some police would actually take R50 bribes from this guy, I still remember the faces of those police offices and the CIDS also did nothing, so how and where are we supposed to report these cases we live the rest of our lives with the trauma of being abused and police not been of any help, I'm married now with a loving husband and two beautiful boys but I still live with the trauma of being abused and this guy was never persecuted for what he did, I hope the correctional and police services will do better, because in the prisons aswel we have too many corrupt service providers
