The country's maximum security prison, C-Max in Pretoria, is standing empty because a museum is being built in its execution chambers, according to a report on Wednesday.

How on earth is this a priority for the government?

 

[marine1]

Only in SA

 

[ToxicBunny]

Sorry what?

We have an empty prison because some tosspot thought a museum in the execution chamber was a priority?

 

[xrapidx]

Eh? What are the exhibits in this museum?

Eh? What are the exhibits in this museum?

Gallows

the Minister of Correctional Services, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqukula has ordered that the gallows be restored and opened to the public as a museum to preserve South Africa's history and give bereaved families a chance to make peace with their past

 

[McSack]

...another couple of bar to be wasted on something of absolutely no use

 

[USZA]

Say what? An empty prison? And this with all our corrupt politicians and the ANC trying to bribe opposition party councillors?

 

[Jase]

Testament to the fact that there are no violent criminals (and therefore no violent crime) in our beloved country ...


I better add /sarcasm ... before them haters start hating.

 

[ToxicBunny]

So we are going to have a museum inside an active prison (once its open), and its a bloody C-MAX prison no less so houses the worst of the worst criminals...

Yes, sounds like a flippin WINNER of an idea.
<Sarcasm>
I def want to go to this one...

... houses the worst of the worst criminals ...

What in the fsck. I've never known a person that has been executed, and if I did I sure as hell wouldn't want to go to the execution chamber of all places to pay respects. W. T. F.

It's a PRISON that will be operational with prisoners, not a MUSEUM for the public ffs.

 

[grok]

How about giving the family of the victims of those prisoners that were executed for their crimes a museum for bereavement and a chance to make peace with their past?

 

[Jarrod]

Next they going to make all the national roads museums too, cos i am sure more people lost their lives on it than in the Cmax prison.
Good news new roads, bad news your tax wil now be 80% and vat will be 90%

 

[Mila]

But statues are evil and should be broken down..

 

[gregmcc]

Another great move by a banana republic.

 

[Gargmel]

Not surprising really, all our criminals have jobs on parliament and politics nowadays....

Instead of turning it into a "shrine" they should start using it again!
