2.2 The 4 to 6 August visits were jointly undertaken with the Portfolio Committee on Public Works and were largely aimed at evaluating progress made in the addressing of maintenance and infrastructure- related challenges observed during the Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services' May 2010 oversight visits to the Rustenburg, Durban Westville and Ebongweni correctional centres. It was agreed that the New Kimberley Correctional Centre that began admitting offenders in February 2010, and was "adopted" by then Correctional Services' Committee, should also be visited as, despite being brand new, a number of maintenance and other challenges have been reported at the centre.
