The head of a judicial panel probing corruption in South Africa directed the authorities to investigate allegations that almost R1-billion was paid to services company Bosasa to provide catering in the nation’s prisons without it doing the requisite work. “There was no labor from Bosasa, it was the inmates that cooked,” Dennis Bloem, who chaired parliament’s portfolio committee on correctional services from 2004 to 2009 while he was a member of the ruling African National Congress, told the panel Friday. “The only thing that Bosasa was doing was to give inmates a certificate for training.”
