“In Bellville you had poor people, vulnerable people going there because they are hungry, some of them are brought in wheelbarrows, some of them are on crutches .... The issue there was social distancing. That didn’t meet the approach we used. The approach we used was to approach them like people who are rioting - we used water cannons, we should not have done that.
Cele was speaking at Khayelitsha police station at the start of a day of inspections at three police stations including Gugulethu and Harare after weekend shooting incidents that left several people dead. “There is a suspicion that the second shooting was in retaliation to the first shooting. Nobody has been arrested yet, but we are not very far from the people that we are pursuing here,” he said.
“We have had quite a bad month here in the Western Cape and we had to come down here to deal with matters and see how far can we go in terms of reassuring the police,” he said.A night before Cele’s visit, the alleged leader of the 27s gang, William “Red” Steven, was murdered outside his house in Kraaifontein.
