The Democratic Alliance (DA) has remained steadfast in its efforts to have Bheki Cele removed from his position as Police Minister.

The DA says it has failed in its quest to get President Cyril Ramaphosa to act against the Minister.

The party’s Shadow Minister of Police, Andrew Whitfield, says: “We believe that the Minister of Police has presided over the collapse of the South African Police Service both as National Police Commissioner in his previous capacity and now as the Minister of Police since 2018.” “The Minister of Police constantly tells us that it is unconstitutional to call for the decentralisation of provinces or local authorities. We know that the Minister of Police is infamous for his reckless comments wherever he goes. He hops from crime scene to crime scene, and he stands there and often trashes the crime scene, walking through crime scenes, speaking ill of the victims of crime.

Last month, Cele allegedly said one of the eight victims of the Krugersdorp gang-rape incident was lucky that only one man raped her.“The 19-year-old was raped by one man. She was lucky if that was lucky. That’s how the statement stands. It’s something that could’ve been better if she was not raped. But to be raped by 10 men would always be worse. I know that rape is rape. Billboards are expensive. Today we are in Khayelitsha, we are in the Cape Flats and it’s raining.

I do agree with DA when they say Commissioner Cele must fall from the throne,no power n strength n the crime rising in high numbers in the country unless he is having his private vendettas

Even if Cele was fired today nothing will change in that dept police are understaffed and under resourced how can - 200k police +60mil SAns +15mil untraceable foreigners. Why not call 4 Gordan coz every nyt we in the dark & all SOEs collapsing or sold
