COMMISIONER of prisons Khulekani Sitole, under investigation by the attorney general for corruption and mismanagement, has announced the suspension of his alleged accuser, KwaZulu-Natal provincial commissioner Thandiwe Kgosidintsi.
Sitole said Kgosidintsi was under investigation herself, and was engaging in a personal vendetta. Meanwhile the Correctional Services Management Board, which met yesterday to discuss the allegations against Sitole, has announced its support for him.
Last week the Mail & Guardian published details of an internal memo accusing Sitole of using prisons funds to support a private soccer team.
