Correctional Services blames 'capturing error' for inflated food prices

Correctional Services National Commissioner Makgothi Thobakgale says inflated prices charged on certain food items resulted from a "capturing error". This follows a hearing where Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services learned that the department was allegedly overcharged for basic items, including cooking oil and gravy powder. The department says pricing has since been corrected, and adjusted rates are expected to take effect in July.
