As part of government’s safer festive season programme, the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) will launch Operation Vala on Monday, 3 December 2018, at Baviaanspoort Correctional Centre in Tshwane, Gauteng.
The main aim of Operation Vala, which is an annual DCS campaign, is to tighten security measures within the country’s 243 correctional centres, particularly in order to prevent festive-season related escapes and assaults. Those who are hell-bent on committing crime are continuously developing counter strategies, and ensuring safety and security in correctional facilities is a critical function to which the Department remains focused.
