The correctional services department's Thulani Mdluli said a prisoner stabbed another at 8.15am on Sunday. “In the process of disarming offenders using minimum force, five offenders including the victim sustained injuries and have been transferred to external hospital for medical attention.” “What is alarming is that no visit is allowed at the moment in all correctional centres in the country due to Covid-19 yet there are weapons found inside centres,” correctional services said.
