11 Mar 2015

The Minister of Defence, Justice and Security, Mr Shaw Kgathi, says government has made commitment to purchase gym and exercise equipment for Selebi Phikwe Prison and other facilities in 2015/16 financial year.

Responding to a question in Parliament, he said this was in recognition of the importance of wellness activities such as regular exercise to the fitness and agility of prison warders and officers.

Selebi Phikwe West MP, Mr Dithapelo Keorapetse, had asked the minister to update the house on plans to equip the gym that was recently built at the Selebi Phikwe Prison. ENDS
