“I believe it’s imperative for correctional facilities to utilize their agricultural lands to produce food internally. This approach not only saves taxpayer money but also enhances sustainability,” Groenewald stated.
Ramaphosa’s restructuring separated the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Development from the newly formed Ministry of Correctional Services, with Groenewald at its helm and Lindiwe Ntshalintshali appointed as Deputy Minister.

Instead of sitting locked up all day, they must grow their own food… Teaches them not to steal or entitlement over other things but to plant and grow own food. Very key.
