Parliament is demanding answers over the death of an inmate at Goodwood Prison in Cape Town, following a surprise visit by the committee. Chairperson Kgomotso Ramolobeng expressed concerns over conflicting reports, including claims of "natural causes" despite pending autopsy results. The committee also investigated allegations of inmate abuse, including deaths linked to "stomach-related conditions," and a possible unauthorized firearm issuance. Ramolobeng highlighted discrepancies in records, calling for further investigation.
