# The Department of Correctional Services has suspended eight G4S officials, including the director of operations, following the death of an inmate during a raid at the Mangaung Correctional Centre in Bloemfontein, Free State, last month. Mangaung officials said Mpho Makhubeni had an asthma attack. However, the post-mortem revealed that he died from succumbing to blunt force injuries complicated by pepper spray inhalation. Correctional Services Commissioner, Makgothi Thobakgale, says Makhubeni was assaulted by G4S personnel:
