Question NW4043 to the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
18 December 2023 - NW4043
Msimang, Prof CT to ask the Minister of Justice and Correctional Services
What is the number of prison warders who (a) were retained, (b) resigned from his department and (c) retired in 1994?
Reply:
The public service went through an administrative and structural transformation post the Democratic transition in 1994. The Government of the Republic of South Africa subsequently introduced a Personnel and Salaries Administration (PERSAL) system.
The PERSAL system is able to draw reports up to 2001 only, records for the period in question are not readily available, however, they may be sourced from the Archives and it will require more time.
END.
