A female prison warder is in trouble for having sex with one of the inmates under her authority.
A clip of the warder locked in a passionate encounter with the male inmate at the prison in KwaZulu-Natal has gone viral on the internet.
The clip shows the female passionately kissing the inmate in what looks like an office inside the prison before they get half naked and get into action.
Sowetanlive reported the spokesperson for the department, Singabakho Nxumalo, as saying that the video with flustering scenes of alleged sexual activity between an official and an inmate at the Ncome Correctional Centre has left the department appalled, embarrassed and gutted.
“Sexual activities between inmates and correctional officials are shameful incidents that can never be ascribed to what is expected of our officials,” said Nxumalo.
He said the official involved has been identified and she will be subjected to a disciplinary process with immediate effect.
“Disciplinary measures have also been instituted against the inmate,” said Nxumalo. Furthermore, Nxumalo said the correctional officials are expected to abide by a code of conduct at all times.
“Despicable acts of sexual activities with inmates shall never be tolerated. We appeal to those in possession of the video to refrain from disseminating it,” Nxumalo said.
