A meeting of the Select Committee on petitions and executive undertakings had to be postponed yesterday morning due to the fact that the Minister of Police, Bheki Cele, and his Deputy were AWOL and did not even have the courtesy to give a timeous apology.
The Committee had scheduled a meeting to scrutinise executive undertakings which were made to the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) by Minister Cele during a questions session on 30 May 2023.
Some of the undertakings by the Minister included:
