There is no reason to replace him: Ramaphosa defends Cele: President Cyril Ramaphosa has defended police minister Bheki Cele and a reported R2bn spent to provide security to cabinet members and other top-ranking officials
He said the police minister was unable to provide the leadership the police service required and was spending scarce public resources instead of fighting crime.
Like all other expenditure in the SAPS budget, catering and accommodation were a normal part of the cost of running a police service. “There is no reason to replace a minister on the basis of expenditure that forms part of the operational requirements of the police service.”
