We note with concern recent media coverage regarding our contract to operate the Mangaung Correctional Centre (MCC) in South Africa and would like to set the record straight.
G4S has operated the MCC since 2000. In that time, the MCC has come to be regarded as a benchmark in correctional services in South Africa and we have maintained a strong, open relationship with the Department of Correctional Services (DCS). On the 18th of September 2013 we were placed in a difficult position after 331 G4S employees working at Mangaung were dismissed following an illegal strike. In order to manage this staffing matter and maintain order at the MCC, we put in place a number of short term plans which included requesting support from the Department of Correctional Services and we welcomed the decision by the Acting National Commissioner of the Department of Correctional Services, Ms NJ Jolingana, to appoint a temporary manager to the MCC. In the interim we have hired 334 new recruits who are being trained and inducted in accordance with our contract with DCS and we believe that full management control of the MCC will return to G4S in due course.
