A total of 359 recruits graduated from the Lucius Mahoto Correctional Training College at Omaruru in the Erongo Region.

They are now looking forward to being deployed across the region.

Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety, and Security Minister, Dr. Albert Kawana, says the deployment of the graduates will address a myriad of challenges at correctional centres and add value to their operations.

The graduates, comprising 246 males and 127 females, started training in March this year, completing an intensive training course at the end of November.
