Why this country disgusts me - Another absolute shocker

SHOOT: I suspect that the warders colluded with the inmates, perhaps they were paid to provide 'meat' and then turn a blind eye. If that's not the case, I'm not sure which is worse - purposely allowing this to happen, or negligently allowing it to happen. Earlier this year I was an awaiting trial prisoner with a suspected murderer and a hijacker [injured]. It's a very vulnerable situation to be placed in. Once you're in the cell you're on your own. You'd think a simple thing like surveilance cameras would be installed? But I guess that money goes to prison warden BMWs.

Sowetan: Mahlaba was a first-year human resources student at Westcol College in Krugersdorp.

clipped from www.sowetan.co.za AN AWAITING-TRIAL inmate has committed suicide after he was allegedly gang-raped in Krugersdorp prison. Twenty-three-year-old Mahlaba Ntsoane was arrested last week for allegedly stealing a cellphone. He was held at Krugersdorp prison and was due to appear in court on Tuesday . He was allegedly gang raped on Sunday evening. Warders on duty intervened after he screamed for help. He was taken to hospital the same evening for a medical checkup. The following day he was found hanging from the roof of his cell. An insider who spoke on condition of anonymity said: “Maybe things would have been different if the boy was taken for counselling immediately after being treated.” The deceased’s mother Tirelo Ntsoane expressed her intense dissatisfaction with the warders regarding her son’s death. She said the warders could not say what time her son died. “I want justice. I want to know what actually happened to my son. He would not do this to himself,” said Ntsoane.
