- A video circulating on social media has sparked outrage and debate about the conditions and privileges for prisoners in South Africa. A man remanded at Goodwood Correctional Centre in Cape Town for kidnapping allegations is seen bragging about the comfort of life behind bars. He claims to have access to free food, electricity, education and the ability to use a cellphone to post content on social media. Naledi Moleo speaks to SA Prisoners Organisation for Human Rights' Miles Bhudu.
Tune into Newzroom Afrika DStv channel 405 for more.
This is why human rights activists need to be scrutinized. This is their doings.
It is only the illegal immigrants who label us xenophobic. They forget that if South Africans try and enter in any of the countries they originated from illegally, the deportation laws are enforced. So they must stay calm and go back home. Abahambe. LOL
@DumaM-ir7rk YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE "FOUNDATIONS" THEY WONT SAY A WORD... ESPECIALLY THE "ONES" WHO ARE ADVICING THEM TO BE CREATIVE WHEN THEY ENTER S.A..
You are xenophobic. South African inmates receive the same and have the same attitude . The reality is the SA prison system needs a complete overhaul. These guys are just going there for holiday at our expense.

Truly agree 🙏🏿orphans don't have food and School uniform just for them to have education and this people are getting everything for free
Herman Mashaba warned you, but you called him xenophobic.
He is
mashaba is an OLDest xenophobe in the world,
Mashaba will fool you to think only foreigners are in jails.
Your president is the oldest Xenophobic president. The jailbirds in Zimbabwe dont get such treatment. that's why his so excited that his living like a king in prison in South Africa. In Zimbabwe, they like slaves and going to bed hungry@jameskillu9171
If he is, listen to what an outsider says about our system.
Peter Groenewalt must stop this nonsense in prisons as minister
You should have been angry about this when the ANC had this portfolio...
😂He doesnt even have a month in office
LOL DA voters
@@karldrogo9765😂😂😂, ANC people must relax please. Give the GNU 30 years and you will see the difference
Done already
Inmate was removed and they found out how the cellphone got there, actions were taken
Malema must be proud of bringing rubbish.
your minister says they are going no where..... he will make visa
use your brain, is malema the minister of home affairs, police or president,
The rubbish is you. and yout demented mind
he is a zimbabwean too that fool
@jameskillu9171 didn't Malema welcome the foreign nationals with open arms?
This is life behind bars in SA real Hotel life yo..
Yeah but no rent 😂😂
False,it's not. Don't allow that idiot to rise your emotions please.
You can go and come back and tell us about the good life
@@thomasphiri2023no different to people getting free houses, social grants etc
Wait wait wait, is the prisoner Zimbabwean?
If so, why are they locked up here instead of being deported?
South Africa becomes a joke day after day!
If they deport him ,he is free man.he serve the jail where break the law he didn't break Zimbabwe law by deport he is free man. That's Bushiri ran away to Malawi and his government didn't arrest and still refuse to his return to South Africa for jai.
I think he is South African but he just joked around with the tone
@@user-zo9lb1lv7s No he is not ,stop protecting your brothers .I just cant with Zimbo Grigambas
@@TheHuny85 I'm not fighting. I just thought he was making a joke with the accent since the original person who did this joke was speaking in the same accent. I don't know why you taking the blood pressure so high fast aaai nawe
@@user-zo9lb1lv7s This is my country so i have every right to be pertubed by your lame utterances .
This lady is an amazing presenter
Always to the point and very direct
She is amazing. Exceptional!👌🏽
@@beharga7901 She is amazing

She can actually make a great investigative journalist. I have known her for the longest time .
I have also been impressed by her
So checkpoint few years back was exposing how inmates can open bank accounts from prison using cellphones smuggled in prison... After that segment this video doesn't shock me, its just another episode on this south African series
Cart Blanche as well
mean a while some arias in south africa the is no electricity at all ,no free food and warm waters
The fact he was arrested for kidnapping...and his bragging about how happy he is in jail... Dangerous man.
Disturbing 😢
@@lindandaba525 am telling you...very scary situation
What a joke of a country 🙄
The rest of us agree to high human life standards, set by Nelson Mandela as president, a man jailed by evil apartheid for 27 years.
Am not sure, you cannot condemn the whole country because of one isolated incident 😂😂😂😂
The world a joke.
Send him to Pollsmoor
I was legit about to say this! 👏🏽👏🏽.
Ya foreigners have seen the weak ness in are country it’s such a shame. South Africa is weak Zimbabweans are doing as they please
i saw coloreds in the video...lol...blame white people with their human rights...
Atleast u know that u are weak
@DumaM-ir7rk There are ILLEGAL south africans arrested in Botswana prisons as we speak...some were killed for armed robberies..🤪 ...
Not weak but respect human rights.
The zimbabweans in your sick xenophobic, nyaope addicted mind
He just messed things up for all ngokuphapha.
You just wonder if its all intentional
Ukuphapha
Ukuphapha okukhulu strip search and draft zizokhala kakhuuuluu manje
Nothing will change though, so what do you mean he messed things up?
That's the Zimbabwean for you.
I have ALWAYS said "criminals are very unified. They dont care if you are from SA or Zim or Moz,... they all about working together as gangs" But us ordinary law-abiding citizens are at each other's throats. Even in this video you can hear a Colored guy reiterating what he is saying in the background.
Lmao 😂😂😂
They're playing right into Groeneqald's hands
& yes sir, I agree with you fully; they should be allowed to work, but that money shouldn't be for personal gain nor their families. They should work for their upkeep, for the the prison, for the reparation of the families they've wronged!!!
If he wronged 5 families how will he works for them?
@@LuckyJudaz the same way a minimum wage earner works for their family.
Those inmates shouldn't be allowed the privileges of a cup of coffee
This is disgusting
Dsgusting to CLOWNs, The ELITE know Mandela set GOOD standards for PRISONS,
Julius' people
blame white people with their human rights...
with Gayton's people shouting behind him in support 😅
may you heal
Uphambene wena
They are like that because they know Malema will come to their rescue like he always does.
We all know foreigners have been saying South African prisons are 5 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 hotels.
Mxm I hate our government system 😂
look close, there are coloreds in the video....lol..blame white people with their human rights...
Why in the first place they are here undocumented
He is Zimbabwean, so what? This is one individual. Don't judge every zimbabwean based on one prisoner.
@edwinmandimika8231, call your brother in order if you don't want to be judged with the evil ones. You forget when they say 1 rotten potato spoils the whole bag. That's what's happening, unfortunately. Remember when the busy announcing to the world South Africa is the most dangerous country in the world isn't it that the world thinks South Africans are criminals and dangerous and here we are we living with the name tag "dangerous country in the world"
Income Taxpayers who got paid on the 15th , two days ago, are already borrowing money. We pay high taxes but have to get high interest loans to study yet these people are bragging about "free" education.
Bro they can give that to prisoners for FREE and innocent kids have to pay to get their degrees, masters, matric etc if you don't have the money, you don't get your papers But people who break ins, heists, hijack, drug dealing etc get all that for free? Feeding skeems at school I remember back in 2005 served 2 spoons of soup a slice of bread, 1 biscuit with water and prisoners get police to deliver KFC for them?
This place is just fukked
Very true and this is bad
Prisons should have 1 meal and no bed.
These people genuinely live better than us on the outside, some of us eat once. some don't eat at all
Yeah but that has to go past the Human Rights Commission and then the Constitutional Court. Dats not happening.
Human rights
Why can’t they block cellphone/network connection in prisons ?
Yaah that is South Africa for you
Guys why are we giving this airtime? He's bored and miserable locked up for hours in a day ..guards telling you what to do, when ..inmates making each other miserable.. if anything its one small hell hole with no escape or mercy.. anyone who has actually served a sentence knows its not the place to be..
For some people life in prison is better than life outside.
This is a sad indictment of our 50% unemployment rate causing so many people to live in poverty , proudly brought to you by the ANC.
The worst part is that you are correct
Were is Malema these Zimbabweans are undermining us
Is Malema minister of correctional service ?
@@p-manwecho8395 Great question. Displaced anger from @siyamcelabewana6099
People like to blame him like he runs the country
Yes
@@p-manwecho8395chest pains landed safely
Prison condition's in His own country is so Worse he have to come here because prison life is Luxury in South Africa
Little mind is dangerous. Who is your mother, and who hurt you
@jameskillu9171, leave his mother out of your comment! You such an irritation. Why don't you go and be an advocate in your country for your people and start calling your government out and disrespect them and go find yourself in Zimbabwe jail with those ugly prison uniforms that looks like dirty linen.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 prisoners have been saying that forever... I'd rather be in prison than suffer here with you lot
😂😂😂😂
Dudula will apply to go to PRISON
This has nothing to do with Zimbabwe or Zimbabwean. In Zimbabwe we don't use cellphones in jails. It's in south Africa where you give Zimbabweans cellphones in jail, so dance it
This gentleman says prisoners must be paid by the state and when they get released they must have money waiting for them😂😂😂. We must pay for their food and livelihoods and also pay them salaries? That's a joke.
it is a joke, until you end up there for GBV,
@jameskillu9171, you go first and join your brother with his big mouth
The Uncle is not dealing with the issue but focused on Correctional Services and nationality of the person. It is not about that but the constitution.
I mean, it is not the truth that the constitution says inmates must have three course meals, free toiletries, free medical care etc. we all know about Thabo Bester story, so is not about nationality but the reality of what is happening in our prisons.
Even Thabo bester was living his best life in prison so why is this brother bragging becomes news😂😂😂
He's not South African, and we hate that!
@@tshepishochuene1280 whatever but the fact still remains

This guy should address the real issue of lawlessness in prison and not talk about nationality. While nationality may be very apparent it does not take away credit that the prison system needs to fixed.
100%
Did I hear "Good morning for having me" God take me😂
Find creative ways to enter SA and find creative ways to get money viva eff viva
Nothing outlandish here. What about a prisoner who filmed himself having a good time with a warden?
Policies should change
Minister Pieter Groenewald just entered the chat...
SA is a literal mess right now, to think that there's so much money spent to keep inmates healthy and well and little to none spent on keeping those with clean criminal records out of prison. Hayi nor
Foreigners in SA
Foreigners owning land in RSA u are right
Prisoner with Zim accent
lol this man is talking about tears in his eyes and how sad he is.. This kak has been happening for years and nothing has been done. This should've have been stopped long ago.
Groenewald will stop this nonsense now.
Ask Thabo about prison Mr Bester was living the life 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂for the first time in my life I feel like being arrested in South Africa, the 5 star prison.
Yep south African prison life is better than the whole of Zimbabwe ...
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Uyanya nja😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤦🏽♂️
Imagine this One knows their Zimbabwean Jails are Harsh!
How do you know
Who has proof that he is Zimbabwean he even sounds Venda every mess fingers point to Zimbabwe
Kidnappers are Zimbabweans
@@aykay9328shut up, South Africans are the worst
@@aykay9328was Joslin kidnapped by a Zimbo stop this hate on Zimboz.
@george1417 speaks shona on his ticktock account
Now I understand why this organization has been ignored by correctional services, because many of us whose been sitting at home for many years unemployed now if prisoners can work and get paid so that their fire at their homes may be kept burning, surely we may find ourselves going there for employment. It is sad and poor advice brother Miles. Prison must be a prison period, it must be a deterrence to crime not u Teba or Dept of labour
Good morning for having me🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Tax payers are paying for his accommodation and food, and here he is bragging about how good life is in prison, our country is very soft on crime and even much softer in prison.
I won’t lie this video made me laugh. Even though it’s a very serious matter. But that guy was so funny and his wing man in the background co-signing. You know when they say South Africa is a movie.
Lol wing man waiting for his dinner
He is lying,being confined in one place is not nice
But if he has struggled and prison is better for him there is truth to his statement. Thats why some people when their sentence ends they reoffend just to go back.
Our boarders better be on 100% lookout because this guy just invited hundreds of people to come claim a soft life in our country
Malema must go and join this Zimbabwes.VBS
Uyanya
We have been speaking about this why we are still running our prison as a correctional service instead of jail?
G4S is the culprit
Piet wants them out ...some anc ministers get kickbacks from g4 s ...
Human Rights the cause of this...........
Wat se Malema nou
He said prison ppl live a better life than us citizen so malema is not a government even though I see u talk under a foreigner talking
Nothing to do with Malema ...jou dom doos !!!
Wat se jou High and Mighty Domkop Groenewaldt about this ????
Malema is not in charge of prisons... Useless unaccountable government is to blame.
Malema never said people should come illegally in SA and never said people should commit crime and don't forget Malema is not a minister of correctional services
What about Malema you always diverge everything.
Juveniles who refuses to go to school but instead join gangs and become dealers, make room for them please.They must go to prison school and work behind bars.
It's amakwerekwere who think prisons are 5 stars, not South Africans, because they know no better from their countries hence they fled.
Calling someone like that, shows that ,😅 you are a bafoon
This guy you interview has an agenda. What does the the country he come from got to do with it. This is not the first video where this happens. It's about how it's possible not who is on the video
Exactly!!! Like why we focusing on the fact that he may be foreign? Was Thabo Bester foreign?
They must report him
He is not the first or the last to say prison in South Africa is a joyride, they do nothing but are taken care of like children at home TV's, TV games, cell phones etc.
Mr Miles i wouldn't be suprised you are from Zimbabwe yourself
Hahahaha its a law that prisoners should get 3 meals a day, toiletries etc. .What should be the point of this video is why does the prisoner have a cellphone not all that stuff you wasted airtime talking about
Who is Miles Budu waste of time it’s a disgrace 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
They must give this Zimbabwean one meal per week.
Uyanya nja
This is not surprising, why does this President act if he doesn't know what's happening behind his doors?
This man is truly a hipocrit what a shame thanks to the softball questions from the so called journalist 😏
SA is abused!
I think you are right that South Africa should never become like Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is not as dangerous as South Africa.
But this isn't new though. We all know prisoners are living their best lives. Yet, the law-abiding citizens can't claim free education.
Just look at how many prisoners are reoffenders. They have it too easy in prison. Poor us who abide the law and can't even buy enough groceries to last a whole month. Poor us who are forced to eat one meal a day because the salary doesn't match the interest rates.
First victim when it comes to bad stuff in South africa, is for sure a Zimbabwean😂
The fact remains though like a orphan the treatment is different.
@DumaM-ir7rk I hear you you its human nature isnt, me first and my family first. Doesn't matter they are right or wrong.
For sure im not in anyway supporting what the guy said or any bad behaviour like that.
@DumaM-ir7rkit's Malawian
CECOT IN EL SALVADOR FOR SOUTH AFRICA , PLEASE
Aren’t those things the prisoner mentioned a list of basic human rights?
Maybe those outside prison should also get these basic human rights.
@@nothembajozi2862 That’s valid, and the prisoners are not to be blamed for that. Remember the system is said to rehabilitate the offenders not to damage them further.
Prisoners in Namibia say the same things. I don't understand why it has to be a Zimbabwean. 😊
Mxm my fellow countrymen are too foward that's why we are hated
Wow, prisoners will be given jobs and get grants, yet people educated and uneducated can not get jobs, wow. SA, wow, this is really shocking.
The inmates might as well sing Not Like Us😂 ngoba yoh
SA authorises are a disgrace. They don't know what goes in areas within their jurisdiction
They know, they get kick backs from prisoners
What about Thabo Bester Saga with laptops 😏😏😏😊
Plse stop being harsh God loves us all they deserve second chance in life
Even in developed nations this doesn’t happen, SA is a banana republic
Why do you think they call Johannesburg prison Sun City
🤣😂
Soon there will be a Zimbabwean president in SA
A Nigerian one 😂
still better than a European one
Give this lady (reporter)her flowers please
we are still texting here im kgosi mampuru 😂😂😂 hey pliz send your tax money we need bacon for breakfast , in zimbabwe its not 5 star but here in mzansi yohh
Free education for prisoners, yet they send children home if you cannot afford to pay😮
This guy is Talking Nonsense
"good morning for having me"
Correctional services intended to produce rehabilitated human beings regardless of their past crimes is a successful one. It's not a bad thing for prisoners to be happy with their rehabilition facility.
Slowly but surely the Zimbabweans are spoiling it for themselves
😢
over to you, FF plus.. just sort it out 😂
How does someone in prison have access to phones? Someone is not doing their job well
The prisoners look like they on a camping trip
DA IS FAILING US WITHIN THE 1ST TERM 😅
😢Wow i am not surprised at all
🤣🤣🤣ANC really made a joke of this country ae all we can do is laugh coz wow
While many unemployed especially among the youth are eagerly watching their pending SASSA SRD Status hoping for an Approved over a Declined. This is a sad reality.
