Calls for dedicated parole act to address deficiencies

There are growing calls for a dedicated Parole Act to fix glaring weaknesses in the system. That’s one of the key recommendations from the two-day National Parole Review Summit in Tshwane. Authorities concede that the system is still riddled with flaws — often sidelining victims and eroding public trust. In recent years, it has come under sharp criticism, with several parole decisions sparking national outrage but authorities believe new legislation could close the gaps. eNCA’s Manqoba Mchunu reports.
