Cele acts like a spoiled child refusing to apologise for outburst while 130 murdered in Western Cape in one week
4 October 2023
This week, Minister of Police, Bheki Cele, told Parliament in no uncertain terms that he will refuse to obey their decision and apologise to activist Ian Cameron, for telling him to “shut up”, before having him forcibly removed from a community meeting.
The actions of the Minister are nothing more than that of a petty, spoiled child, who refuses to take accountability.
In terms of the ruling by the Joint Committee on Ethics and Members’ Interests in Parliament, the Minister had breached the Code of Ethical Conduct and the Committee recommended that he submits an apology in the National Assembly for his conduct towards Cameron.
The Minister has refused to simply apologise and will seek to take the decision on review, instead of focusing on crime – a job in which he is already failing miserably. His refusal comes on the back of 130 people murdered in the Western Cape alone in the last week of September.
