Police Minister Bheki Cele has been awarded the “mogoe of the week” title. This comes after his outburst during a community meeting in Gugulethu. Cele found himself struggling with emotional intelligence after he was confronted by Action Society Leader, Ian Cameron. The confrontation ended up in a “Shut up fiasco” that resulted in Cameron thrown out of the meeting, escorted by Bheki Cele’s men in blue. Cameron’s sin was to challenge Bheki Cele’s leadership in the police force. Bheki Cele lashed out at Cameron and his behavior has been widely criticized.
Following a public outrage about the way Bheki Cele handled himself during the altercation, the Minister has finally broken his silence. Cele has conceded he could have handled himself better following a heated argument between himself and Action Society’s Ian Cameron. Cele’s response comes after he was taken to task over his response to Cameron during a briefing by the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster on Friday. “The robust and others, yes, could have happened a better way by both the people rendering respect,” Cele said.
Cele said he felt disrespected by Cameron. According to Cele, he had treated Cameron with respect when he addressed the panel at a community meeting. Cele was expecting the same from hiCele said Cameron, who was not invited to the meeting, had shared his grievances. However, when it came his (Cele’s) turn to speak, Cameron kept on interrupting him. The Action Society group has reacted to Bheki Cele’s behavior by laying charges of crimen injuria and common assault at the Gugulethu Police Station against him. The group also laid charges against members of the police who forcibly removed him from the community meeting.
Meanwhile, Action Society says it has recieved confirmation from the presidency that NONE of the current ministers have has their performance evaluated for the last three years. The group has accused police minister Bheki Cele as a firm leader in the dismal performance failure. Bheki Cele was meant to also reduce the levels of contact crime by 7,48% per annum and violence against women by 6,9%. HE FAILED! Action Society says Cele must go now!
Things are just going South for Bheki Cele lately. Just yesterday Deputy police commissioner Francinah Vuma – who was suspended last week – has launched a broadside at Police Minister Bheki Cele, accusing him of corruption and political meddling as faction-fighting rages in the top echelons of police management. This is not the first time Bheki Cele involve in corruption allegations remember the former president Jacob Zuma suspended Bheki Cele for corruption allegations. Maybe it’s time Cele got removed as a Minister. There’s just too much noise around him. The man can’t even control his temper. How many of you think Bheki Cele Must Go?
