S.Africa: 6,000 Tv sets bought for US$4,300 each for Prisoners

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Prisons chief Mti called to explain fancy R26 500 TV sets for jails

CORRECTIONAL Services national commissioner and former Eastern Cape struggle veteran Linda Mti has been called to Parliament today to explain allegations that he used money meant for the building of new prisons to buy television sets costing R26 500 each.

He will appear before the correctional services committee to explain the œrechannelling of funds meant for four new prisons.

Committee chairman Dennis Bloem said yesterday that the committee wanted to establish whether œit is true that the funds were rechannelled to other things.

The committee was expecting Mti to give a detailed report on the progress made with the building programme — launched in 2002 “ and when the first inmates could be expected to be moved into the new prisons, Bloem said.

The committee was concerned about overcrowding in prisons around the country, and had thought the four new prisons would alleviate this problem because they were designed to provide 12 000 additional beds, he said.

Media reports yesterday said the department had complained that the R1,2-billion allocated for four new prisons œis not enough even to begin building them.

However, it recently invited tenders for 6 000 television sets, at R26 500 a set, access control systems to the value of R148,2-million and fences at R6,6-million each.

Correctional services spokesman Manelisi Wolela had already admitted that about R438-million of the R1,2-billion had been œrechannelled last year to build fences with motion detectors for the 66 existing prisons.

Parliament and the treasury were not informed, because the money was shifted from one project to another, which was not illegal, the report said.

A tender of R148-million was awarded in April last year to Sondolo IT to install access control systems in prisons.

Another tender of R159-million (US$25,5 million) was recently awarded for installing 6 000 TV sets in prisons.
