Bheki Cele lays blame for inaction during July riots and looting on police commissioner’s doorstepPolice minister Bheki Cele could not have provided “executive direction” during the July unrest and looting because he did not receive any intelligence reports from national police commissioner Khehla Sitole or crime intelligence. Kudakiwe loku kweNswelaboya!! This issue of Minister Cele and Comm Sitole needs urgent attention. Listening to him it is clear that we are not safe under their leadership. Foreign commission acting as if it care about Sans and we know it concerns itself with foreigners in our country hence it does nothing about illegal foreigners in our country.
