Cells: The station had ten cells. The cells were clean but needed to be painted. The OB book was inspected every two hours. All the detainees were supposed to be in Polokwane prison and not in the station cells. The one who had been there the longest, had been there from January 2010. The reason given was that the prison was full. The Committee emphasised that that was not SAPS' problem. It was illegal to keep convicted or awaiting trial prisoners in police cells.
