Thousands of offenders go untraceable - DA Federal leader Geordin Hill-Lewis shares concerns

The Democratic Alliance says it is concerned by the devastating findings of the AmaBhungane investigation that revealed that nearly 28,000 parolees are reportedly untraceable.

The Parolees include convicted murderers, rapists and armed robbers.
The investigation has exposed systemic failures in supervision, tracing and coordination with the SAPS.

Overcrowded prisons and stalled reforms have been to the surface, resulting in a growing public safety crisis.

The DA is calling for an urgent parole reform.

The party is set to write to the Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services to request a full parliamentary review of the Community Corrections System.

To take this discussion further we are joined by DA Federal leader Geordin Hill-Lewis.
