Pitso clearly didn’t get the memo that Phuza Thursdays at the prison had been cancelled

Video footage taken last year of a prison warder too drunk to even stand up at work has gone viral. This after it came to light that the warder in question, only known as Pitso, would not be disciplined for his disgraceful behaviour.

The video was taken in broad daylight at the entrance of the prison. It shows various colleagues laughing and making comments while Pitso shuffles out of the prison. He can be heard saying: “If only I could stand up.” After which a woman answers: “What are you going to do then, who are you going to chase then, me?” He answers by saying “Ah, voetsek wena!” before apologising to the woman saying, “You are a woman, please forgive me.”

According to the Delekile Klaas, the regional commissioner at the department of correctional services in the Free State and Northern Cape, the matter was investigated internally and the warder was given a final warning.

It is really unfortunate and extremely embarrassing for anyone working for the department to see someone in uniform like this. The warder in question is still at work and there have been no queries as to his work since then. It is unfortunate that the person who took the footage video would take it to media. It’s a question of people just wanting to embarrass the department. We take these matters very seriously.
