2. Infrastructure 2.1 The DCS' persistent complaints about maintenance, but failure to ensure that effective action is taken to address the matter , points to a lack of commitment and poor planning. Most of the challenges identified were historical and, with sufficient will, could have been addressed. Despite the severe challenges, the DCS still has no internal maintenance plan and the DPW-DCS service level agreement still has not been concluded. The DCS should present detailed strategies containing budgetary requirements, timeframes and maintenance plans for addressing the challenges identified at the Mthatha, St Albans and Durban Westville correctional centres by 30 November 2011. A delegation will visit all three centres early in 2012 to track progress made in addressing the maintenance challenges identified above. Similar plans for all correctional centres should be presented to the Committee by the end of February 2012.
