Cape Town – Convicted serial killer, Rosemary Ndlovu, has been caught in possession of a cellphone while in prison.
The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) has laid internal charges against her for breaking the law.
“Inmates found in possession of cellphones are charged in terms of Section 23 (1) of Correctional Services Act 111 of 1998. They are then reprimanded accordingly, a process which may involve a withdrawal of privileges for a specified period, reclassification (downgrade) and other punitive measures.
“Illegal activities and deviant behaviour by inmates has no place in correctional facilities. DCS is working towards achieving contraband-free centres, hence different measures are being employed by means of removing all illegal items in our centres,” department spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo said.

Ndlovu was convicted of murdering her live-in lover and five relatives between 2012 and 2018, using life and insurance policies she had taken out for them.
She received multiple life sentences and additional years for fraud, incitement to commit murder, and attempted murder.
Her crime spree ended when she was caught trying to hire hitmen to burn her sister and her sister’s children alive.
