A Women's lobby group says it will be calling on Parliament to get the Portfolio Committee on Correctional Services launch a probe into the Correctional Services Parole Board.
This, in the wake of the decision to halt the release on parole of paralympian Oscar Pistorius.
He was due to be released from the Kgosi Mampuru prison on correctional supervision today after serving a sixth of his five-year sentence for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.
Minister of Justice Micheal Masutha said the decision to release Pistorius was taken prematurely and with no legal basis.
Jacqui Mofokeng of The Progressive Women's Movement sat beside Steenkamp's mother - June - throughout Pistorius' trial.
"We welcome the decision of the Minister and we are saying that we respect the honesty with unshakable principles in telling us the truth that the process was not followed in the right way. We are calling on the Minister to probe the Parole Board for similar cases over the past 12 months, to see if they were right" she said.
