STAGGERING statistics surrounding the confiscation of drugs and weapons in Western Cape Prisons have sparked concerns about collusion between bandiete and prison officials.
A report submitted to the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) by the Department of Correctional Services has revealed that nearly 200kg of drugs and over 3 000 weapons have been confiscated over a 12-month period.
The reports are in response to parliamentary questions posed by DA MP Nicholas Gotsell, who is a Member of the Security and Justice portfolio committee.
