Good afternoon members and supporters. By working together we can achieve more . covid 19 is deadly disease . we can say anything because we are human beings . I carefully read the minister statement about corona virus in prisons . he made it very clear that inmates are creating fake stories about the disease . our minister is not human right compliant , and he is not coming up with a solution as to how do we apply social distance in south African overcrowded prisons. There is a shortage of sanitersers , gloves, musk . we are giving the minister Mr Ronald Lamola and The state president Mr Ramaphosa to a range a special placements so that inmates can serve their sentences under a none custodial manner. Covid 19 is a killer and it has to be taken seriously. Correctional service centers has reach such a proportion that safety, human dignity and covid 19 is a serious problem that has to be addressed now. Both inmates and correctional service stuff have been affected by the deadly disease. Then minister has to take decision by releasing inmates on condition or special placement. We cannot address covid 19 with overcrowded communal cell. Both Democratic and constitutional right has been violated. By failing to comply with that will remain without an options but to take the minister to court . we giving the minister up Monday 20 April 2020 to release inmates on condition as it is the only way to stop the spread of covid 19 . there is no way where inmates can exercise social distance and physical distances in overcrowded cells. The minister has to be charged with contravention of regulation of disaster management act 2000 . letters has been sent by our attorneys to the minister and the president.

Many thanks

EACH INMATE A SAPO MEMBER!! WE ALL WITNESS THE RESIGNATION OF PRESIDENT GEDLELIHLEKISA , MSHOLOZI MSHIN WAM ZUMA. at the same time Cyril Ramaphosa is elected as the new president of the republic of south Africa. as a new president he is very much aware it must be pointed out legislation has given effect to the constitutional imperative that has been past in the parliament of the republic of south africa in 1998 act 111 of 1998 , may provide fertile ground for the preparation of law suits . SAPO wrote letters to president Cyril Ramaposa while he was still a deputy president that that immediately when he is a president we of the he has to pardon 60 000 inmates . after a report from a probation officers .60 000 qualifies that is including political. am so disappointed by Zumas government . they have done nothing with all the time and efforts that we have inverted including the minister of justice and correctional service . he must also go .our office will send correspondence to the office of the president for his removal.

presidential is the first one on the list . as sapo we heard enough of that president . we are not going to follow the procedure . with us there is no boundaries. we have support the president from day one . this is my turn now . the president has to fast track the pardoning and special remission as but ultimately also constitutional provisions protecting the dignity of inmates . as as organisation we know that we still have soldiers APPLA AND MK
THAT ARE STILL LOCKED UP . those inmates has been promised special remission and pardons the last 23 years . it never happen. in all 236 prison that are operating we have been waiting for this day to come. as inmates they have come to insist on the adherence to the letter of the law , where no daily exercise period is granted due to the stuff shortage and overcrowding . where nutritional requirement has fall short of the set proscribed minima . where accommodation (eighty inmates is accommodated in the cell of eighteen people. disallow a separate bed for each inmate . or sufficient , accessible ablution facilities. this condition will violate not only the act but also the regulation . inmates are often most gravitated by two kinds of unrelated issues affecting their lives in prisons . unmet expectation of release and any curtailment of munitae of daily life.

there is also an indirect relationship overcrowding and residuum principle., overcrowding strains the prison administration , capacity to maintain security and good order. it also risk the lives of prison officials .inmates spent greater proportion of time in the cells which is a serious set back for rehabilitation.

The only way to reduce the the prison population is for the president to fast tract the pardoning as he will be guided by the constitution. we are totally against the minister who is not human right compliant or who wears high hills , we need a soldier

the president knows about political prisoners . the president knows about the amnesty cut off dates . the interim constitution of 1993 provided orders to advance reconciliation and he knows that amnesty must be grunted now . not tomorrow . parliament has adopt a law a firm cut off date . which is in place now, providing mechanism , criteria, and procedures .

in 1993 and 1994 our military APLA AND MK AND SADF were merged to form SANDF . APLA came with 20000 soldiers and some of their members are still in prison.

WITH SAPO THERE IS NO BOUNDARIES AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO WAIT ANY MORE. AM COMING BACK TO YOU IN TWO WEEKS.

general strike in all 236 prisons on Thursday 8 February 2018. we support the removal of Mr Jacob Zuma and the minister of Justice and correctional service Mr Michael Masutha. The president has been human right violator, and the minister is not human right compliant. this two people has been very cruel and they have done nothing .Mr zuma has to give a way to the current ANC president Mr cyril Ramaposa.

If the president and the Minister is removed the new president will speed up and address the the issue of overcrowding, disease and touche rs . the correctional cent res population has reach a proportion that safety, human dignity , physical care sentence inmates has been affected materially. and that is a serious violation of human right. inmate population stands at 160000 and 40000 does not have the bed space.we have 14000 foreign nationals and it . it causes 140.000 per a year to house each inmate. it cause 23 billion a year to look after inmates. that money can be used for education, roads , water and ect.

AMANDLA! WE DEMAND THE FAST RELEASE OF INMATES IN PRISON THE WHOLE COUNTRY THROUGH SPECIAL REMISSION AND OTHER POSSIBLE PLACEMENT. THE STRIKE WILL START 10 IN THE MORNING BEFORE THE SONA. . NO GOING TO WORK ALL INMATES . ONLY THE HOSPITAL AND KITCHEN WILL OPERATE.BY WORKING TOGETHER WE CAN DEFEAT THE ENEMY

Each inmate a SAPO member ! good morning ' our struggle is not a secret. we know exactly were we want to be . we should not forget were we are come from. this is an idea for fighting for justice would be essential if our plans , idea, are structured in a manner that educate us to follow our martyrs path of Africa struggle tradition_ embrace people first culture.

Military veteran departments and other government programs should have been establish after all consideration were tested , declassified all political prisoners ( MK AND APLA) released them without conditions as they were members or supported and publicly known political organisation or liberation movement whose action where waged in a very effective manner furtherance of struggle. as sapo we demand their total release without conditions. those conditions they are technicalities that the minister cannot proof and they are clueless .

The time comes in the life of any nation , where the nation will remain with two choices , submit or fight . that time has now come to south Africa. we shall not submit and we have no choice but to hit back by all means within our power in defending our people , future of the inmates and their freedom .

It would be unrealistic and wrong as leaders to continue preaching peace and none violence at a time when the government met our peaceful demand with force . this conclusion is not going to easily arrived at . it will be only wen all ells has failed . when all channels of peaceful protest has been bared to us . this is the only time when the president and the minister has to listen . prison is a life and death situation , the minister must not take us for a ride . we now exactly what we are capable off . the president must listen this time he knows exactly what the prison is . he can stand behind the pulpit and preach the prison script.

we can not preach about unity when comrades that has fought for our liberation are still locked up. we need to unite people of south Africa by opening prison doors for the complete liberation of the country from all forms of discrimination and national oppression. we have to end human right abuse and violation in prison by all its forms and unite south Africa by based on the principle of freedom charter and in pursuit of the national democratic revolution.

Most of our people have serve time in the house of justice categorizing amnesty privileges have been prejudiced and unfair handled by the government .

south Africa is collapsing under our watch because of corruption and unfair justice system . There are more freedom fighters in the ANC government who fought for the against the system declare a crime against humanity than perpetrators of the very system declares a crime against humanity.

The minister must stick to his promises other wise he is going to risk his credibility. we are not going to rest until our demands are met . it will be fire to fire unless indicated otherwise . all the fraud cases must be reduced to fine , all minor crimes must be a total release , all political prisoners must be a total release with no conditions other crimes must be released on conditions as correctional centers has reached such a proportion that safety, human dignity, are being affected materially because of overcrowding, lack of medicines, lack of uniforms, lack of stuff, nutrition requirement has fall short to a prescribed requested minima. this is a serious violation of human right. The minister must stick to an announcement he made on July 3 2017 . all the political prisoners was supposed to be released as the indemnity act was signed in may 1990.To keep them is a delaying tech-tics from the minister . we do not want to here about late submission of profiles to the parole board, shortage of stuff, out standing restorative justice intervention, we do not want to here any stories about combined lack of reports from social workers and psychologist. those are stories and technicalities that they can not proof . those things they could have been done long time ago..

Many thanks

good afternoon all our members . our government is not stable , their 20 years of democracy has been nothing but chaos, betrayal of human rights.the so called freedom has been nothing but myth . our people are faced with 3 legacy of the past . unemployment, poverty,and inequality. those are the main source of crime. you can not compromise food, clothing and accommodation

inequality is a well known factor , our people are selfish the richer becomes richer therefore all this evil aspiration, selfishness and greed are linked to capital and commercial crime

i went through my face book page even if time is not always on my side . some of the comments are very malicious. SOUTH AFRICAN PRISON ORGANISATION IS NOT A SCAM . SAPO IS REGISTERED HUMAN RIGHT ORGANIZATION . STORIES ABOUT SAPO HAS WIDELY REPORTED and where based on the intentions to malicious distort facts to furnish my image and portrait it in the bad light to suit the enemies idea because they have been given millions to look after the violation of human rights of inmates and they have done nothing. they shared the monies among them-self and leave desperate inmates stranded to death. SAPO never receive even a blue cent from the government or government link organisation. funds they are shifted to the organization and friend of well connected politicians . SAPO is funded by business communities and monies that we collect from membership fees and donations.

i condemn those reports on the strongest possible terms these irresponsible reports utterance and wish to assure you there is no truth in the claims that SAPO IS A SCAM .

SAPO is suing one of the organisation 10 million rand for their involvement in publication of malicious and defamatory matters against sapo which has resulted in enormous harm and its reputation.

politic is like foot ball we win the game in the play ground not in the office. regarding release of inmates check the ministers report city press 2017.07.03 and for sentence with an option of a fine and pity crimes that has been discussed at the national policy conference. we have also receive reports from our members. still as an organization we are not certified because the dcs is very slow . LETTERS FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE STATE MR JACOB ZUMA . Ref 9\30\1(475968)vol179\2017(ns) second letter Ref 9\30\1\2 vol 177(472564)2017(jm).

we need to work together if we join hands we cant be defeated we need to use a scientific approach to defeat an enemies. it is a shame and disappointing to see or here violation of human rights under black government.

our mission and objective objective remains STATUS CORE.

many thanks

Each inmate a SAPO member ! Tomorrow is Nelson Mandela international day. The UN general assembly declared 18 July as Nelson Mandela international day . In recognition of the former president contribution to the culture of peace and freedom . Nelson Mandela prepared and pave the way to freedom but after that democracy is not decentralized or benefit our people , it also happens in prisons those who have political connections they don't even stay in prison . for 25 years our democracy was myth . even if inmates can appeal against the judgments and win , there is no available legal remedy for revoking wrongful convictions passed down by in a miscarriage of justice .

There are so many other ways in which innocent people are wronged by the system. Missing court documents are common , but courts relies on the junk science , false eye witness , forced confession & insufficient forensic evidence can also play a role in locking up people behinds bars when they deserve to be there .

General amnesty is here . Ref 2017/07/03/07-03

Many thanks

EACH INMATE A SAPO MEMBER!! VIVA GENERAL AMNESTY 2017 FOR ALL VIVA !! AMANDLA!! MAYIBUYE!! VIVA SAPO VIVA!! to all our members and suppoters good afternoon. we have made it . the minister has admitted that there is a huge back log for conideration of inmates for parole . lifers and other inmates are going to be released on condition. he further agrees that lack of reports from from social workers and phycologist has caused the delay in releasing the inmated that has compleeted their sentence. Inmates that has been sentanced life before october 1 2004 will need to serve 12 years and 4 months. inmates that has been sentanced life after october october 1 2004 will serve 25 years or less. this will be less if the go through training and programs that deals with their offending behavior. skills programs that allocates credits for their relesal, good behavior , not being part of any criminal activities when they are serving their sentance. a good report from a probertion officer . it took us two years for this campeign to happen and people couldnt belive us and other organizations those that are in the same field as SAPO.

Imates that has been sentenced for pitty crimes from foreigh countries will be send back to their country of birth and compleet their sentance in their countries. SWAZILAND IS GOING TO UNBAN ALL THE POLITICAL ORGANIZATION WITHIN A PERIOD OF 90 DAYS AND RELEASE ALL THE POLITICAL PRISONERS. AS REPORTED ON THE NATIONAL TV YESTERDAY ALL THE INMATES ARE GOING TO BE RELEASED ON CONDITION THOSE THAT ARE FAILING TO PAY FINES BECAUSE THAT IS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO OVER CROWDING AS IT WILL BE PART OF GENERAL AMNESTY FOR ALL 2017. Through our intervention and working tireless minister and the President has responded in good faith. the conditions of the releasal are strict and it will be on conditions .
