Restore gallows, says Sexwale
Johannesburg - Businessman Tokyo Sexwale called for the gallows at Pretoria C-Max Prison to be restored as part of the country's heritage, said the correctional services department on Sunday.
Department spokesperson Manelisi Wolela said Sexwale and fellow former political prisoner David Moisi toured the prison on Saturday with National Commissioner of Correctional Services Linda Mti.
"Mr Sexwale visited his former cell and that of Mr Moisi who was saved by the stay of executions from the gallows while incarcerated at the Pretoria C-Max prison," said Wolela.
The visit was part of a programme aimed at remoulding former symbols of apartheid repression into heritage sites for education purposes, so that SA would, in former President Nelson Mandela's words, "never, never and never again" witness such oppression.
Mti welcomed Sexwale's offer to be a correctional services ambassadors to promote initiatives aimed at building a correctional system that belongs to all.
