JOHANNESBURG - The new Minister of Correctional Services, Pieter Groenewald, has been confronting the state of South African prisons.
In his budget vote speech this week he said that a budget cut of over R2.5 billion will severely impact the department.
Some of the pressing challenges are overcrowded prisons and the monitoring of parolees.
