1.1.1 Prior to 1994, South Africa had three correctional training centres: one in the Western Cape for Coloured and Indian trainees, Zonderwater in Gauteng for Black trainees and Kroonstad in the Free State for White trainees. The Western Cape centre has since been closed, and the two remaining centres cater for all trainees regardless of race, but differences in the quality of facilities remain. A ministerial initiative to refurbish these two training centres, to ensure that facilities and living quarters are improved, so that they are appropriate to trainees' needs, is underway.
