Cape Town - Cele was speaking at the launch of the festive season SAPS safety plan in Philippi yesterday. Speaking at the event, mostly attended by SAPS members, Cele said the police had all the rights to protect themselves.
“You must remember that you also have human rights. Do not die with your weapons in your hands, defend yourselves,” Cele said.

In an exclusive interview with the paper at the time, the minister said: “The police needed to match the firepower of criminals and use deadly force.”
