“Sexual activities between inmates and correctional officials are shameful incidents that can never be ascribed to what is expected of our officials,” said Nxumalo.

He said the officer involved has been identified and will be subjected to a disciplinary process with immediate effect.

“Disciplinary measures have also been instituted against the inmate,” said Nxumalo.

He said correctional officials are expected to abide by a code of conduct at all times. 

“Sexual activities with inmates will never be tolerated. We appeal to those in possession of the video to refrain from disseminating it,” Nxumalo said.

Meanwhile, it was gathered that the department of correctional services had in January 2021 said in its effort to clamp down the smuggling of contraband into prisons body scanners would be installed within six management areas.

According to the country’s Justice and Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola, the body scanners were introduced after an official was caught at St Albans Correctional Centre in the Eastern Cape trying to smuggle contraband.

However, it appears that the scanners would be serving dual purposes hence.
