Updated | By Mmangaliso Khumalo
Convicted serial killer Rosemary Ndlovu has been charged with contravening the Correctional Services Act after she was found with a cellphone in prison.
Ndlovu is a former police officer that was sentenced to six life terms in 2021 for murdering six people, including five relatives, for the purpose of claiming money from insurance policies.
Correctional Services spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo says Ndlovu was internally charged in line with the departments Section 23.
"Inmates found in possession of cellphones are charged in terms of Section 23 (1) of Correctional Services Act 111 of 1998.
"They are then reprimanded accordingly, a process which may involve a withdrawal of privileges for a specified period, reclassification (downgrade) and other punitive measures. Illegal activities and deviant behaviour by inmates have no place in correctional facilities."
"DCS is working towards achieving contraband free centres, hence different measures are being employed by means of removing all illegal items in our centres,” adds Nxumalo.
