Police minister Bheki Cele has announced his intention to introduce the Protection of Constitutional Democracy against Terrorist and Related Activities…
“The tough part comes in that six of those measures are related to how we investigate such crimes – whether we have enough prosecutions on money laundering, whether we deal with terror financing when people are designated by the United Nations or by other measures – and so in our criminal justice sector, we have to have a significant turnaround in terms of effectiveness.” “The responsibility for the publication of United Nations Security Council Resolutions related to terrorism in a notice in the gazette, and other appropriate means, is proposed to be placed with the minister of finance in terms of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act and amendments thereof with the Director of the Financial Intelligence Centre.” The bill simplifies the interpretation of the jurisdictional provision and expands the extradition provisions to all terrorism-related offences in the principal Act, he said.

To prove that he’s “competent”, he mentioned that he went to exile & prison fighting the apartheid regime. We have one of the highest crime rates on the planet but he is expecting to receive flowers. The police have been useless under Cele. Gugulethu and Nyanga is a crime hotspot. Cele has nothing to offer this country and its unfathomable why he's even a minister.. He is failing dismally. Bheki Cele blew a fuse because his competency was challenged. The community deserves better. “That is why I was sent to prison.

When Cameron was trying to respond, Cele told him to “shut up” a number of times and told him to “listen” or “get out” before Cameron was pushed out by one of the policemen at the venue. Cameron further told Cele that he does not see him patrolling at night like the people at the meeting wearing their yellow jackets — not supplied by the police but by the municipality — and without a six-car motorcade and bodyguards. He told Cele that he was failing in his mandate to ensure the community was safe. Cameron said Action Society — a civil society organisation — was mandated by the survivors and families of victims of gender-based violence to speak on their behalf during the meeting.

Ian Cameron from Action Society made headlines when cops ejected him from a community meeting after a war of words with Police Minister Cele.
And I challenge you to come and patrol in that community, to walk through the same sewerage that the brave ladies walk through every night when they patrol with no protection. We will also be considering steps in terms of the Ethics Committee for parliamentarians and ministers and the code of ethics. Over the past year, there’s been a lot of alarming data showing us that there’s a tremendous backlog in terms of DNA processing in the police by the forensic science laboratories. I want to graciously invite you to come and patrol without a bodyguard, without a grand car, in normal clothes with this community tonight to get the sewage on your shoes that they patrol through.” The minister warned Cameron not to provoke him. The last survey I saw it is about 96% reported and it’s alarming to imagine that a murder isn’t reported in some cases, but nevertheless, we’ve got a very serious crime pandemic. Cameron said: “I’m tired of the excuses and I’m tired of you making this a political thing. And obviously, I was worked up about it because of the way that he entered there but nevertheless, I stated a few facts about the fact that detectives are ill equipped and constable detectives being expected to sort out serious domestic violence cases. So when he accused me of racism or insinuated that, then I stood up and I said, I will not stand for that, you will not say something like that. Suddenly he pointed at me and he started saying that, you know, I think of him as a garden boy. I started off by just saying who we are, what we do, and then I said to him, Minister, I honestly think you are, separated from the reality that the majority of us face. He said that SAPS is the only constitutionally mandated body, and then there should be no parallel structures.
