This matter vests in the Administrator of the Cape Province and he furnished the following information:

Yes

(a) 2 151

1. (ii) Number of sites previously allocated to developer.
   Previous performance.
   Developers who specialise in housing.
   Evaluation of proposed house plans to be used.
   Financial ability.
   Innovation on this terrain in the Eastern Cape where ±7 000 sites were allocated to private developers in the metropole.

1. (c) Executive Committee of the Provincial Administration of the Cape of Good Hope took the decision as a result of the evaluation of (b) (ii) supra.
2. (d) Final costs not available as yet. Estimated costs for 2 151 residential sites R7 017 000. Bulk services not included.
3. (e) R7 017 000 + cost of land (125 587) = R7 142 587

1. (1) Yes.
   1. (a) As regularly as possible, within the limits of an orderly prison routine and also taking into account the provisions of Regulation 3 of the Prison Emergency Regulations and the local circumstances at each prison.
   2. (b) It is unfortunately not possible to supply a complete list within the scope of this reply of all items kept in stock. These shops were implemented as tuck shops which stock inter alia canned food, smoking requisites and toiletries and the type of stock is made up of items for which there is a demand and further taking into account, factors such as perishability and availability in general.
   3. (c) As at (2) below.
2. (2) There are basically two ways in which this service is provided for in prisons, namely:
   • — The items ordered by prisoners are bought for the prisoners directly from retail dealers. The amount paid by the prisoners in this instance is the price charged by the retailer. No profit other than that of the retailer is therefore in question.
     This procedure is normally followed at those prisons where no Prisons Service Canteens are available.
   • — At those prisons with Prisons Service Canteens, tuck shops are normally run in the prisons as outlets of the Prison Service Canteens. The profit margin for Prison Service Canteens is fixed countrywide at 5%, being provision for handling costs and prisoners pay the same prices as the personnel of the South African Prisons Service.
3. (3) (a), (b) (i) and (ii) as well as (c).
   No.
   (aa) and (bb) fall away.
4. (4) Yes.
   (a) and (b) fall away.

1. (1) and (2)
   From time to time representations are received from emergency regulation detainees, their legal representatives and/or other persons acting on their behalf. Each such representation receives thorough attention and the person who made the representation is suitably informed on the result of his representation.
   Unfortunately the honourable member’s question does not mention for which specific period the information is required. However, should she have a specific case in mind, she is welcome to furnish me with the details and I will then have the matter investigated.
2. (3) Apart from the Judges of the Supreme Court of South Africa who visit emergency regulation detainees, inspection visits by inspectors of prisons, health inspectors, commanding officers, etc. are regularly carried out at all prisons and all matters which have to be attended to are thoroughly investigated and disposed of. St Albans Prison is no exception.
   1. (a), (b) and (c) fall away.

1. (1) The accommodation norm which is applied in South African prisons is not based on surface space per prisoner alone, but also on the total cubic space per cell taking into account factors such as the age, structure and design of the building and climate concerned. The allocation of detainees per communal cell therefore depends on the said factors and also whether such cells are furnished with conventional beds, stacked beds or sleeping mats with bedding.
2. (2) (a) and (b), (i) and (ii)
   All prisoners, including emergency regulation detainees, are provided with separate bedding which is warm enough and conforms to hygienic requirements.
   Items of bedding are as follows:
   • — Beds
   • — Mattresses (Sponge): 2 m X 700 mm X 100 mm
   • — Pillows
   • — Sheets (two per prisoner who sleeps in a bed)
   • — Pillow cases
   • — Blankets
   • — Bedspreads
   • — Sisal mats*
   • — Felt mats*
     * These items are supplied where beds are not provided.
3. (3)
   1. (a) As is the case with unsentenced prisoners, emergency regulation detainees wear their own clothes and their families and friends may give the detainees additional clothing during regular visits according to the needs of the season. However, if a detainee’s clothes are insufficient, prison clothes which conform to certain requirements are provided on request.
   2. (b) Yes.
   3. (c) Yes, where available.
   4. (d) Taking into account the general climate of the Republic of South Africa as well as the type of clothing which is available to prisoners, additional artificial heating is not provided. The number of blankets provided to prisoners is however varied according to climatic conditions.
4. (4)
   1. (a) No.
   2. (b)
      1. (i) No.
      2. (ii) Physicians’ prescriptions are strictly adhered to in all cases.
   3. (c) The honourable member is referred to the reply to question 1315 put to the Minister of Law and Order and which should be read in conjunction with the details furnished in this reply.
   4. (d) All emergency regulation detainees entrusted to the care of the South African Prisons Service, are treated in a uniform and humane manner strictly in accordance with the stipulations of the Prisons Act, 1959 (Act No 8 of 1959) and the applicable Regulations.
      1. (aa) and (bb) fall away.
5. (5) Yes
   1. (a) and (b) fall away.

1. (1) The diet provided to all prisoners (including emergency regulations detainees) is compiled by experts of the South African Prisons Service in co-operation with dieticians of the Department of National Health and Population Development and falls within the limits laid down by the American Recommended Daily Allowance.
   1. (a) and (b) fall away.
2. (2) (a) and (b)
   The ration scale provides for different meal plans. Therefore, the choice of the majority of prisoners at each separate prison is applied. The preference of every individual prisoner/ detainee naturally cannot be satisfied.
   Breakfast and lunch is served according to a rotation menu of 7 days, whilst the evening meal is provided on a 11-day cycle. In this manner a greater variety is obtained to prevent monotony as far as possible.
   The following types of food may, for instance, be served as indicated:

* On the days that textured vegetable protein products (including Bolognaise) are issued, the quantity of vegetables issued is reduced because the texturised plant protein products also contains vegetables.

Items such as salt, sugar, tomato puree, oil, bread flour, baking powder, curry, pepper, vinegar, etc. are used additionally in the preparation of the food.

Therefore, it is clear that detainees, like all other prisoners, receive a balanced diet, prepared in well-equipped and hygienic kitchens under strict supervision.

1. (3)
   1. (a) No.
   2. (b) (i) and (ii)
      Medical officers may in terms of Prisons Regulations 114 (3) order, in respect of a specific prisoner, a deviation from the prescribed diet should it prove to be necessary for medical reasons. This implies that the medical officer may order that additional food would be provided due to health requirements which could be attached to age. These orders are meticulously complied with.
   3. (c) The honourable member is referred to the reply to question 1316 put to the Minister of Law and Order which should be read in conjunction with the details furnished in this reply.
2. (4) Yes.
   1. (a) and (b) fall away.

1. (1)
   1. (a) and (b)
      Circumstances determine from place to place which type of physical facilities are provided to detainees for study purposes. These circumstances include, for instance, the nature of cell accommodation, nature of available facilities and the number of prisoners.
   2. (c) In addition to natural daylight, all prisons are equipped with electrical lighting. Requests for better light provision may be directed to Heads of Prisons, who handle it with the necessary empathy within the limits of reasonableness.

   1. (a) No.
   2. (b) No.

The Honourable Member’s question is not clear.

Firstly there is no indication as to whether the comparison which he hasin mind is between “detainees” and sentenced prisoners of between“detainees” and awaiting trial (unsentenced) prisoners or both.

Secondly the question does not specify which category of detainees he requires more information about, for example Emergency Regulations detainees or detainees being held in terms of section 29 of the Internal Security Act, 1982 (Act 74 of 1982) etc.

The term privileges as it is used in the questions is also open to different interpretations and it is therefore suggested that the Honourable Member must also be more specific on this point.

In general it can however be confirmed that all prisoners entrusted to the care of the South African Prisons Service are treated in a humane and responsible manner strictly in accordance with the stipulations of the Prisons Act, 1959 (Act 8 of 1959), the relevant regulations and the other legislation concerned.
