The minister was speaking at a taxi rank in KwaDukuza, north of Durban. He and KwaZulu-Natal premier Sihle Zikalala, with health MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu and transport MEC Bheki Ntuli, conducted walkabouts and roadblocks in the iLembe district, a Covid-19 hotspot.
"We are worried on two fronts: firstly, the crime and the health side. After alcohol [sales resume], watch the space, they will begin to shoot each other, butcher one another and stab one another and those people will go occupy very serious spaces of the health sector like theatres and trauma centres, and people that are sick with Covid-19 and ordinary illnesses won't get space.”
Alcohol will be sold between 9am and 5pm from Monday to Thursday. Cele said those who made online purchases would need to make sure the alcohol was delivered during the specified times.
Bullshit !
U can come arrest me now bc i will not be produceing no receipt of any kind . You have know right to ask me were i spend my money.
Oh for Pete's sake why dont they just don SS uniforms and goose step over everybody notsearchingmycar Nazi
If there is an unlawful arrest on his instructions, just sue him in his personal capacity.
Go to hell bhekicele. You have no authority to make your own law.
So when you bum a smoke and police catch you what then.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is a joke.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is crazy. What if you bought cartoons and cartoons before lockdown?
This is rubbish, another high ranking police office said on SAFM on Stephen Grootes show the he doesn't know the law or the rights of citizens. This is a State of Disaster not Emergency.
He is a mascot of bafoonery.
Akanamahloni mara ukukhuluma into enje ezweni....?
Tell the old goat to go read the Constitution. Smokers don't have to provide any receipt
Where does the police and military get their smokes from?
Oyanya
Stop giving this guy oxygen with your clickbait
Let it start by the very same police officers and metro guys who always do smoke breaks after parade....even some soldiers I saw them during operations.
He doesn't know what to do,what happens to his members do their also produce slip.
This guy is out of his mind really
They must be taught the law if they are not complying and no one must be treated special.
He needs to follow up on the law,NOT GONNA HAPPEN!
That's all you do is threaten and harass innocent people. Go catch real criminals stop looking at us as soft easy targets for your ego. The tobacco ban is stupid the police need to be deployed inteligently to save lives not Police NDZ's personal grudge against smokers.
SAPoliceService Cele Se moer. He who alleges must prove. I don't have to say anything and produce nothing and in court will prove my case and sue your dumb ass for wrongful arrest. He clearly don't know the law. He was mos fired as commissioner because he was a crook
If I bought mine before lockdown and lost the slip 🤔🤔🤔
Thank you Ndosi!🙏🏿
At least some people manage to get illicit cigarettes, but this guy what's he smoking,
Okay.....so I bought my cigarettes before lock down at 1 of my spaza shops.🤔how do I provide proof🤔,They wanna lock up people who bought the legal cigarettes but cant stop he illegal cigarettes coming in at the ports?
This is impractical or near impossible to implement, General. “Maar probeer is the beste leer”
Our policemen are contracting COVID-19 at an exponential rate for this? This is a waste of resources & precious lives. I’m not a smoker but the cigarette ban is ridiculous, it is just hurting our economy.
These south African so called ministers are not skaam to make themselves fools with all this nonsene talk an Cyril just leaves them too. They all a laughing stock right now. Its so sad cause we actually thought they would succeed but guess nothing mucj changes in the ANC
Minister Cele, Im so ashamed right now to be reading this crap as a Police Officer. There is no way that i will be asking a member of public for a receipt. You making SAPS look like idiots.
Ngowuphi lo my friend unereceipt but bheki
Who will have a receipt for cigarettes or vape purchased 2 months ago? You cant stop the illegal vendors, when there is a market to exploit there will always be a supply. Sad, but true. YourLifeYourRisk StopIllegalCigarettes Letmesmoke
What an ass. Who keeps receipts from 2 months ago. Oh well the hat shows the intelligence factor
😂😂😂😂😂😂can they please publish this clowns CV!!!
And the South African constitution says that smokers don't have to answer a damn question about their cigarettes SAPoliceService. I see even more civil suits coming from the new abuses enacted on civilians.
With so many more important issues in the Country to be worked on, and this is what the goverment focus on ? SERIOUSLY ? My wife is African and proud , and her comment to this is following,.. ' S.A as become a banana nation with these illiterate politicians! '.
Where are those who voted them into power, do you see what is MYANC is doing to us? This is oppression in action
Just keep every receipt you've ever had and hand over packets of them for the police to go through with a fine toothed comb...😇
This is a PRIME EXAMPLE of some of the most RIDICULOUS 'rules' being FORCED onto law abiding citizens. THIS IS NO LONGER ABOUT COVID19! Its a GOOD thing elections is around the corner, THEN IT WILL BE THE PEOPLES TURN!
My friend gave me a packet.
Wow yall really forcing us to smoke abo JFK and his sister Shasha neh 💆
😂😂 Cele issa cleaning smokers 1by1
It sad that this is what our police will be focusing on as opposed to serious offenses. We live in interesting times.
Mxm
he must look within the anc since some of its members are linked w/ transporting in illegal tobacco in the country hence the delay of selling legal brands. contraband.
Shocking that the top Cop does not even know how our legal system works. Innocent untill proven guilty. The lack of knowledge and intellegance from this guy is scary.
If they can't arrest them
Id like to explain to this poes where he can shove it.
If cigs have been banned for 8 weeks how would you have a receipt. Who keeps receipt for cigs from 8 weeks ago
I have my answer ready...taken from our corrupt officials at Zondo Commision...'I don't recall where I bought them ...or where the receipt has gone'
All you are doing is creating huge potential for wrongful and unlawful arrest civil suits, by over zealous police following your instructions.
Bheki Cele go play outside brah... U will get all the receipts for cigarettes in Dlamini-Zuma's bank account but as if u didn't know that brah🚬🚬🚬🚬
What a joke!
Should have told us this wen the lockdown started too late now we've thrown the receipts away !!!
Well the receipt has to be from before when the lockdown started in March or it would be an illegal purchase & the seller will be traced I guess & prosecuted. All that work for what Just stop being petty & lift the ban on tobacco sales.
We bought before lockdown 🙄
What's more, you better have your till slips ready for any open toed shoes, T-shirts or other equally forbidden things you might have with you.
Oh grow the fuck up!
I got cigarettes in my on campus residence... I bought that 2 months ago and it didn't come with no receipt
It's an outright laugh. If I were a smoker and arrested I would gladly go to court to let the magistrate sort out which law I broke for not having a slip. So disappointing that the police minister has such a vague idea of the law.
I love this minister
And what about loose? 😂 😂
To stupidity and beyond ....
What if they were a gift?
Die fokken man is mal
So SA has gone back to being a police state, it's members acting violently with impunity while at it
TaxJustice_SA 🖕
So nonsensical! 🙄🙄
Does this dumb orc not realize that some people buy their smokes in bulk and may have thrown their slips away? 30% this one
I think it's best Minister Mabhiza take the retirement package manje, uguga kabi.
This man is boring and u continue to give him airtime
I am not 100% sure, but I believe the SAPS can ask for a receipt, but its not a legal requirement to produce one. It is also not an offence to smoke nor is it an offence to be in posession of cigaretts. Asking gor a friend.
That can't be right, they should tightens their security for cigarette deliveries and leave public folks alone. What's this sh*t, who hold receipt for cigarette?
Focus on the real crime!!!!
Can we not focus on real crime? I am amazed at how well the SAPS and Gov. Can prioritise smoking issues but not Rape, murder, armed robberies, looting, drug dealing, etc. Sad and very unproductive. Tax money spent policing smokers.
Is this for real now Cannot be serious! So if purchsing a T-shirt is illegal, shouldnt everyone wearing a T-shirt carry a receipt to prove they didnt steal it or buy it illegaly? Or is this aimed only st smokers? Predjudice at its best.
Lets start with an ATM receipt for the cash he has in his pocket to prove the money wasn't stolen.
I think all these ministers are trying to make a name for themselves
Not sure whos more crazy. Is it him or is it that little nawty part of his brain giving him these ideas. At which taxi rank or robot do they have cash registers.
They must investigate where it is, i misplaced it.
But normally apart from lockdown when you purchase loose you don’t get receipt 🧾
He is crazy.
All this stupid laws surrounding smoking, soma makes me wanna Smoke 🚬
Economy is junk , how is the Corrupt ANC government getting by without the billions in tax revenues ? Because they are ones selling on the black market !
ekgeedefokop who do these ministers think they are. In actual fact this is all NDZ fault for getting away with the cig ban in the first place. And make no mistake - it is not about cigarettes it is about dictatorship COVID19SouthAfrica LockdownSA
Tell him to piss off and read the regulations he helped compile.
This man has just lost it.
So you can't buy cigarettes in stores ,and if they find you smoking you must produce receipts ? Am I understanding , so if you bought cigarettes before the lock down u must still have the receipts , wonder how many fake receipts will be printed , I smell a good business here !
👍
But they don't give receipts for ama loose draw
TaxJustice_SA So it's guilty unless you can prove your innocence. Cyril where are you?
just causing a lot of unnecessary work for the judiciary with his stupid line of thnking
NewsPrime1012 BAT has definitely not dished out enough brown packets.
Ill just give u my receipt of my last bulk purchase before lockdown 😂😂😂🙄🙄🙄
Tosser!
Hey cele i buy from edward zuma's and mazotti's brands it doesnt come with receipts so why dont you go ask them for receipts ✌️
Just as a matter of interest are sigarettes banned in prison as well🤷♀️
Nice try

Correlation between people who don’t listen and spread of virus: Bheki Cele“Most of the people that have been arrested, they come from the hot areas. For instance, Western Cape leads in terms of the people that have been arrested, and then Gauteng is second,” said Cele. And how many rapists, murderers, child abusers, thieves, car hijackers and state capturers has he arrested I wonder. Irrelevant if you don’t say where the police have been stationed. 🙄 No reasoning on this one. He just open his mouth and talk crap. Instead of police focusing on real issues yena he’s busy looking to terrorize people who are going to work, doing no crime. Ayeza kodwa ama elections ngeke sikhohlwe
