Bheki Cele Named New Police Commissioner
President Jacob Zuma today named Bheki Cele as his Chief of Police. He takes over from Glen Agliotti’s friend Jackie Selebi who’s contract comes to a merciful end on Friday.
Rumours were rife that Cele was going to be appointed. It became apparent that the rumours were true when the DA put in their two cents, calling for someone else (probably of their choosing – and probably not Mzwandile Petros, Western Cape Police Commissioner) to be chosen by the President.
Bheki Cele – former MEC for Safety and Security and KwaZulu Natal, has been involved in a few controversial incidents, one accussing Mangasuthu Buthulezi and the IFP of using illegal weapons.
He also called for Jacob Zuma’s trial to be stopped.
