6. Ebongweni Super Maximum Correctional Centre management reported a number of improvements since the May visit: ventilation system, climate control and hot water challenges were to be addressed by mid August, the repair of the under floor heating which has never been operational would commence by 1 October and would be completed through a RAMP project. There was no service contract for the generators the centre often has to rely on, and their repair is funded from the unplanned maintenance allowance. The centre reported that the repair and maintenance of all kitchen equipment at the medium centre were included in the Electrical and Mechanical RAMP, and that most of the challenges have been addressed. The ceiling that was collapsing at the time of the May visit has been repaired and the remaining minor leaks at both the medium and super maximum centres were being addressed. The Super Maximum centre was built on a steep slope. The floors which have not been properly treated for adequate grip, pose a serious occupational health and safety risk and would be attended to through a RAMP project as soon as funds became available. A contractor has been appointed to address the centre's sagging sewer line, and minor blockages will be addressed as the need arises.
