    "Deputy Minister of Correctional Services Cheryl Gillwald has hinted at a review of the parole system, warning that South Africa is "waging a war" on its youth by enforcing the current regime.

    Young African men particularly were falling victim to a vicious crime cycle, going into prison at an early age and finding it difficult to find a role in society upon their release many years later, she said."
