3.1.5 The Durban Westville Correctional Centre provided a detailed report on progress made in the addressing of maintenance challenges reported and observed during the May visit. Leaking taps, toilets and showers, and broken windows had reportedly all been repaired, and maintenance was ongoing as the need arose. Although the Youth Centre has since June had hot water, two boilers were still not operational at the time of the visit: one would have been fixed by mid-August, while the other was to be repaired through a RAMP contract which at the time of the visit had not yet been awarded. At the Medium A centre, the sewer line had collapsed allowing water to run into the storm water system. The delegation was appalled at both the DCS and DPW's lackadaisical attitude towards the situation which poses a real threat to the heath of officials and inmates: at the time of the visit no interim measures had been put in place and the tender for the restoration of the sewer line had only days before the visit closed. A further cause for concern related to the tautwire fence, which had been installed at great cost, but has not been operational since its practical hand- over. The contract for the replacement of the intercom system had been awarded and was set for completion by November 2010.
