Cape Town - Correctional Service organisations are worried the delay in the employment of about 2 000 trainee correctional service officials after having competently concluded their learnership training programmes.
Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (Popcru) spokesperson Richard Mamabolo said the union have since October 2020 learned about the non-renewal of the contracts for the learners (correctional officials in waiting).
Mamabolo said the union has met with the department of correctional services (DCS) in December last year to talk about the employment of the trainees given the staff shortages experienced within the department.

The official was placed on suspension after calling out a R500 million free Wi-Fi connection scandal.
The General Public Service Sector Bargaining Council found the suspension was unjustified.
The Office of the Premier in Limpopo committed unfair labour practice by keeping a senior official on prolonged suspension after he blew the whistle on a R500 million free Wi-Fi connection scandal.
This was the ruling by the General Public Service Sector Bargaining Council, which also found the suspension was unjustified.
The free Wi-Fi connection project was to be rolled out in several areas in the province through a company known as Limpopo Connexion. However, it stalled after money disappeared from public coffers.
