3.6.7 At the time of reporting labour unrest had compromised security at the Mangaung PPP Correctional Centre, forcing its management to call on the DCS to intervene, and temporarily take over management of the facility. The Committee has not yet been briefed on what had led to the situation, however the incident validates our serious concerns about the cost and appropriateness of 'outsourcing' national security services. These concerns are shared by the Chairperson of the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC).
