Title: N Balfour: Potchefstroom Correctional Centre
ADDRESS BY THE MINISTER OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES, MR N BALFOUR, MP,
DURING A VISIT TO THE POTCHEFSTROOM CORRECTIONAL CENTRE, 29
September 2004
Commissioner Linda Mti
Regional Commissioner Watson Tshivhase
Deputy Regional Commissioner Ms Kunene
Area Commissioners of North West, Mpumalanga and Limpopo
Heads of Correctional Centres of Klerksdorp, Potchefstroom,
Wolmaranstad and Christiana
Senior Managers of the Region
On the previous occasion that I visited this region, it was not
under the most pleasing of circumstances. It is a while back that I
went to Nelspruit and Barberton when we were faced with illegal
industrial action.
I was most unhappy with the circumstances around that, but more so,
not too impressed with the obvious lack of discipline on the one
hand, and the hesitance to act strongly in the face of illegal
disruptions on the other hand. Such actions and inactions give us a
tarnished name and perpetuate the myth that Correctional Services
either do not care about our core business or that we run an
operation where leadership cannot separate itself from our general
membership when it matters most.
