💨 Abstract

Minister of Correctional Services Pieter Groenewald suggested re-evaluating corporal punishment to alleviate prison overcrowding. Introduced during his budget vote, the proposal has sparked debate among South Africans. The practice was banned in schools in 1996, and the minister is now seeking public dialogue on the matter. The article also includes several unrelated news items, such as updates on Kaizer Chiefs and the death of former deputy president David Mabuza.
