Social media users are in a tug of war over pictures of inmates allegedly having a braai in prison.
The debate started when a tweep asked for people’s opinions on the issue This sparked comments from disgruntled Twitter users, who said it was unfair that inmates had the “luxury” to braai meat.
It is not clear where or when the picture was taken. Several attempts by TshisaLIVE to get comment from the Department of Correctional Services were unsuccessful at the time of publishing this article.
While some couldn’t decide if it was wrong or right, TV personality Sizwe Dhlomo weighed in with his views.
What do you mean? There’s no take… ninjas are prepping their own meal. WTF? How do you feel when they play football or sing or dance? https://t.co/wfQvMASmhF

The star asked those who judged the inmates how they would feel if the prisoners “play football or sing or dance”.
He went on to clap back at a tweep who asked whether singing and playing football made the inmates crave meat.
“Does being in prison mean they shouldn’t have meat? Are you stupid or just pretending?” Sizwe hit back.

He also responded to a tweep who said the meat could have been bought with taxpayers’ money.
“You don’t know any of that. Maybe one of the prisoner’s family donated the meat. Maybe it’s a person’s birthday. Stop projecting!”

Maybe because it’s all recreation? Still want to brag about logic? https://t.co/Y79XClsWUi

Here are some of the reactions to the debate:
The victim in me wants them in chains breaking stones like political prisoners back then. But they are human aren’t they, we should treat them better than they treated us so that they can repent.

They are not gonna repent and an offender should loose all human rights the minutes he/she is sentenced

As part of punishment they should not get any meat , meat is a luxury

Apparently this food is sold to visitors who come through for family day. So they don’t even eat it for free when their families come for family day the prisoners sell. Akuve sikuthanda ukuba outraged unnecessarily.

Braai is food but instead of cooking the meat they made a braai-do u want them to starve? They are there to serve their sentences n come back rehabilitated, we don’t want animals in them when they are released.

Funny thing is the same government that “rehabilitates” them, doesn’t employ them ones they are out becoz of their criminal records, so they don’t even trust their own rehabilitation centres.

Tax money paid for that meat. Or did they all contribute? Tax taken from persons who the crimes were committed against

I don’t know man. I feel like you’re taking his question likely. I feel like prisoners shouldn’t have that ‘privilege’. Prison is supposed to be a place criminals fear the most. Imagine hearing that your rapist is having a braai in prison, I mean really?
