Actual performance
the Department has given final written warnings to
those officials who have admitted guilt. The final written
warning is coupled with payment for loss suffered
by the DCS as a result of fraud committed. Final
written warning letters have already been issued to
353 officials who have also signed acknowledgement
of debt with the Department through SIU. The total
figure that will be recovered from the 353 officials is
R6 454 100. In addition to the money owed, officials
will also pay 25% of the money so owed to the Criminal
Asset Recovery Account (CARA). The KwaZulu-
Natal Regional Office has taken over the process and
once finalized disciplinary action will proceed against
officials who did not admit guilt.
The advantage of this process is that the DCS is put in
a position where the officials involved have to repay the
money with which they defrauded the Department.

A trend analysis report for the period 1 March 2007
– 30 September 2007 was produced. It was found
that most of the transgressions related to dealings
between officials and inmates. The transgressions
related to dealing in drugs, exchange of money and
other prohibited items. Although statistics were
obtained from the Directorate: Employee Relations
with regard to fraud, corruption and serious maladministration
cases when compiling this report, it was
evident that their classification of such cases differed
with the classification by DIU and CEU. Consequently
this made the analysis difficult. A recommendation
was therefore made for Employee Relations to work
with CEU and Information Management in developing
an improved classification. The National Commissioner
approved the recommendation and directed
that the Director: Employee Relations should lead the
process.
Due to the fact that Employee Relations changed the
reporting format, it was difficult for CEU to produce
the 2nd bi-annual trend analysis report to the executive
management.
Implementations of recommendations were monitored
and reports submitted to executive management.
Seven workshops were conducted. Other chairpersons
who had already attended the basic training
were trained on an advanced training course.
