In Desember 2019, \u2019n jaar en een maand nadat hy sy vonnis begin uitdien het, het die president presidensi\u00eble kwytskelding aan sekere gevangenes gegee, en weer in April 2020. Block het albei kere gekwalifiseer.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Intussen het Block weldade by die tronk verrig deur die owerhede in kennis te stel dat die Xhosa-bewoording by die ingangsbord verkeerd en gevaarlik is omdat dit s\u00ea enigeen kan inloop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voorts het hy sy kontakte by die premier se kantoor gevra om sokkerklere en toerusting aan die gevangenes te skenk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het ook vier jaar lank ander gevangenes akademies onderrig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het sy weldade in \u2019n mislukte aansoek om parool genoem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Block voer aan die onafhanklike ondersoeker wat namens die paroolraad opgetree het, was bevooroordeeld teenoor hom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het nie eens voor die paroolraad verskyn nie, en is ondanks navrae nie amptelik in kennis gestel van die weiering van sy paroolaansoek nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eers nadat hy met regstappe teen die departement begin het, het hy \u2019n kennisgewing ontvang. Hy het nie administratiewe geregtigheid ontvang nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het reeds \u2019n minimum tydperk uitgedien om in aanmerking vir parool te kom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die departement se wiskundige berekening van wanneer Block danksy die twee presidensi\u00eble kwytskeldings vrygelaat kan word, is verkeerd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amptenare gee hom ook nie korting vir die 13 maande wat hy reeds uitgedien het voor die eerste aankondiging van die presidensi\u00eble kwytskelding nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die tweede aankondiging vir presidensi\u00eble kwytskelding is op 27 April 2020 gedoen, maar het eers in werking getree nadat dit op 8 Mei 2020 in die Staatskoerant verskyn het. Omdat dit op 8 Mei 2020 gepubliseer is, kwalifiseer Block om dadelik vrygelaat te word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In \u2019n ander soortgelyke saak in Gauteng het die nasionale kommissaris van korrektiewe dienste en minister erken dat die tweede kwytskelding op 8 Mei 2020 van krag is, maar in Block se aansoek hou hulle vol dit is op 27 April 2020 met die aankondiging bekragtig. Adv. Lesiba Maponya, namens die departement, het volgehou dat die berekening van wanneer Block in aanmerking kom om vrygelaat te word vanaf 27 April 2020 gedoen word. Dit beteken Block kan eers in Mei 2025 op parool vrygelaat word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hul berekeninge begin van die dag wat Block by die gevangenis aangemeld het. Die 13 maande wat hy voor die eerste presidensi\u00eble kwytskelding uitgedien het, kan nie as deel van kwytskelding bereken word nie. Sy weldade kan nie vroe\u00eb parool meebring nie. Slegs weldade wat sy lewe bedreig soos wanneer hy \u2019n ontsnapping, dwelmsmokkelary of die smokkel van vuurwapens in die tronk aanmeld, kan vroe\u00eb parool bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die onafhanklike ondersoeker in die paroolaansoek was glad nie bevooroordeeld nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
