SUMMARY
The Committee met to discuss the Department Annual Report that would be tabled in Parliament. They made minor technical amendments and unanimously adopted it, before travelling for an oversight visit to Pollsmoor prison.
MINUTES
The Chairperson spoke of the "second incident" which has taken place at Pollsmoor prison. The meeting adjourned at 10.30 a.m. to enable the members to visit Pollsmoor prison because three more prisoners had burned to death there the previous week. Three people had also burned to death in Pollsmoor on 23 August 2004. The purpose of the visit was to see the situation there and not to interrogate any Pollsmoor staff. The Department will be given seven days to deliver a report to the Committee on these two incidents. The Department would be appearing before Parliament on 8 November 2004 for interrogation.
On Wednesday 27 October 2004, the Committee had met with the Minister and discussed many issues in the Department Annual Report. The report discussed today was the product of that session with the Minister. Minor technical amendments were effected to the report, which was then unanimously adopted.
The meeting was adjourned.
