Warders at Pretoria's local prison seemed to have a "bizarre fascination" with gay sex, a former prisoner told the Jali commission, which is investigation prison corruption, on Wednesday.
Former inmate Louis Karp named the warders he claimed had made his stay in jail a misery one by one. The warders all had to stand up in front of the commission and identify themselves.
Karp spent almost two years in jail while awaiting trial on a car theft charge, only to be released after receiving a suspended sentence.
In that time, he said, a warder had sold him to four gangsters in jail, who sodomised him for a period of two months.
After that ordeal, a fellow prisoner now on trial in a heist case violently raped him. He was also continuously subjected to cruel taunts and innuendo.
