Investigations into fake social media accounts that claim to represent Police Minister Bheki Cele are under way.

There are more than 160 accounts on Twitter and Facebook which have profile pictures and details of Cele, police ministry spokesperson Brigadier Mathapelo Peters said.One account has just under 60,000 followers who believe they are following and interacting with the police minister, Peters said.

Investigations by the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation were under way to identify and locate the “fake account operators”, Peters added. Peters said the danger of the accounts was that social media users might believe they would be able to share tip-offs with the “imposters”, and the information might “fall into the wrong hands”.

“This in itself poses a risk on the personal safety and the lives of law-abiding citizens whose intention is to work and collaborate with the police on crime prevention and combating.”

Well thats understandable since he cant type or spell... and have no clue.. won't be able to read or reply to any comments either

Minister of Twitter must confirm that first

I am now more confused

But WHO really wants to talk to that man?

How on earth can't we interact with minister of our safety. All Ministers world wide have social media accounts, why not this one. Is he so illiterate or his beliefs prompt him to, yet he is serving the nation. NOOOOO. THIS IS WRONG
