💨 Abstract

A gang-led attack at Pollsmoor Prison resulted in the deaths of three inmates and injuries to two correctional officers. The incident occurred during a routine duty, with inmates armed with sharpened objects. The attack was reportedly gang-related, aimed at asserting dominance following recent enforcement of discipline. The National Commissioner of Correctional Services confirmed the event and emphasized the department's commitment to combating gangsterism and restoring order. A new Area Commissioner has been appointed to lead the facility's renewal.
