Correctional Services in shock over video showing ‘flustering scenes” between an official and an inmate
The Department of
Correctional Services has assured that strong action will be taken against a
KwaZulu-Natal correctional official who had sex with an inmate.
This comes after a graphic video surfaced on social media showing an inmate and an on-duty correctional official engaging in a sexual act.
Correctional Services spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo says the official involved has been identified and she will be subjected to a disciplinary process with immediate effect.
“A video with flustering scenes of alleged sexual activity between an official and an inmate at the Ncome Correctional Centre, KwaZulu-Natal Region, has left the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) appalled, embarrassed and gutted. Sexual activities between inmates and Correctional Officials are shameful incidents that can never be ascribed to what is expected of our officials,” says Nxumalo.
He adds disciplinary measures have also been instituted against the inmate.
He pleaded with the public to stop spreading the video.
“Correctional Officials are expected to abide by a code of conduct, and despicable acts of sexual activities with inmates shall never be tolerated.
"We appeal to those in possession of the video to refrain from disseminating it.”
