@south.african.mag: South African correctional authorities have confiscated 37,500 cellphones from prisons in a single year as Dr Pieter Groenewald intensifies efforts to stop illegal communication behind bars. The large-scale operation forms part of an ongoing campaign to strengthen security in correctional facilities and disrupt criminal activities coordinated from inside prisons. Illegal cellphones have long been identified as a major challenge, enabling inmates to communicate with criminal networks, intimidate witnesses, and organise unlawful activities. Dr Pieter Groenewald has reaffirmed the government's commitment to restoring order in correctional centres through stricter security measures, regular search operations, and tougher action against the smuggling of contraband. Authorities say the continued confiscation of illegal cellphones is a significant step towards improving safety, maintaining discipline, and ensuring that correctional facilities fulfil their role in rehabilitation while protecting the public. #southafrica #viralvideochallenge #reelsviralシ
