Mevrou die Adjunkspeaker, baie dankie aan die Minister vir die inligting wat u vandag vir ons gegee het.
Ek dink hierdie storie moet baie dringend ondersoek word. Die Witskrif vir Korrektiewe Dienste l spesifiek klem op rehabilitasie, maar ons sit met 'n probleem. Ons het byvoorbeeld verlede maand Drakenstein besoek. Daar's ook 'n tekort. In St Albans is daar 'n werkswinkel wat toe staan. Ek dink ons moet ernstig aandag gee aan hierdie probleem om rehabilitasie 'n werklikheid te maak, anders gaan ons met 'n groter probleem sit van mense wat nie gerehabiliteer word nie.

[Mr D V Bloem: Madam Deputy Speaker, thank you very much to the Minister for the information you imparted here today.
I think this story should be investigated as a matter of urgency. The White Paper on Correctional Services specifically puts the emphasis on rehabilitation, but we are faced with a problem. For example, we visited Drakenstein last month. There is also a shortage. In St Albans there is a workshop that is not in use. I think we should give serious attention to this problem in order to make rehabilitation a reality, otherwise we will be faced with the much bigger problem of people not being rehabilitated.]
