Question NW36 to the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
06 January 2022 - NW36
Mkhonto, Ms C N to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
(1) What are the relevant details of the parole conditions of Mr Eugene de Kock; (2) whether he has been informed of any information that the specified person was sustained and paid by the State after the person’s release from jail; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what necessitated the decision to have the person on the State’s payroll?
Reply:
(1) The Parolee Offender was subjected to the parole conditions as contemplated in section 52 of the Correctional Services Act, 1998 (Act No. 111 of 1998), over and above section 52(1)(r) of the Act was also applicable. Upon being placed on parole the parolee remained in the custody of State Security Agency (SSA) as per his parole conditions.
(2) At the time of assuming my duties as the Minister I was not aware of the allegations that parolee is paid as parolees do not receive payments from the Department of Correctional Services. The Parolee is not being paid or sustained by the Department of Correctional Services. The alleged services rendered to the parolee should be directly asked to the State Security Agency as the subject of an engagement between the State Security Agency.
