The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) says suspended KwaZulu-Natal Prison Commissioner Mnikelwa Nxele is attempting to divert attention from his disciplinary process.
Residents of Mohlakeng, on Gauteng’s West Rand, say government has failed them. Eight years and nearly R300-million later, a promised clinic, meant to open in 2020, remains unfinished.
Suspended KwaZulu-Natal prison boss Mnikelwa Nxele says he was targeted for whistleblowing. Nxele says he raised concerns about a grossly inflated prison food supply contract but was stonewalled.
