Bheki Cele guns for police chiefNewsletter| Drama over a learner’s licence is sparking an all-out war between Police Minister Bheki Cele and national police commissioner General Khehla Sitole. Cele is apparently looking for “any” reason to get rid of Sitole Sitole has been there for a while. For a police commissioner, in country ripped apart by violent crime and corruption, he had just been a passenger. No shakeup of criminal syndicates, no arrests of dangerous criminals. Khehla Sithole must be reminded that you do not fight corruption while working for the ANC government. It was just learner's license after all. Bheki Cele was fired for worse and he turned around and got promotion for that. Corrupt something Mr Sithole this mention will be over.
