Competition for the title of SA’s worst COVID-19 minister is heating up, so let’s run through the evidence to see who comes out tops.
Bheki Cele – don’t we just love him in the news… Follow the next of his antics as he heads to the constitutional court, and keeps the papers full of humour and hilarity.
Zuma reveals his new cabinet, with a few surprises in tow.
Well-known tenderpreneurs Shawn and S’bu Mpisane saw 2013 off in style when they invited hundreds of A-list guests to their magnificent home in La Lucia, Durban.
Police commissioner Bheki Cele is currently suspended. It is also recommended that he be fired and that a criminal investigation be launched into his involvement regarding the irregular awarding of police headquarter leases worth R1,7bn. But Cele has now allegedly written to President Jacob Zuma, asking to be reinstated. As easy as that.
The board of inquiry has turned in it’s 113 page report whether or not Cele is fit to hold office. The report was handed to the Office of the Presidency on Sunday, but has now been leaked to the media.
The official Twitter handle of the South African Presidency dropped the following bombshell just before 15h00 today. The news comes in wake of allegations of maladministration on the part of Cele, made by the Public Protector. The move is especially spicy, given that Cele was once seen to be a major political ally of President […]
It seems that there truly isn’t a day goes by where some politician is caught on the take, then denies it, then blames the media, and then gets off. Monday was Malema’s turn and Tuesday Was Bheki’s. His mate Nathi got to explain just why the chief needed to spend 1.498 million Rand on plane trips.
No doubt your friends and family will have badgered you for an opinion on Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s challenge to the SAPF and Jacob Zuma.

The offices of the public protector were raided out of the blue yesterday by a Police Crime Intelligence Unit. Coincidently, the public protector also very recently released a report linking National Commissioner General Bheki Cele to a dodgy R500 million property deal. Bheki Cele’s office, however, claims to not know about it and promises to take “urgent steps”. Go on, give us another one then!
You may know by now that top cop and original Gansta, Bheki Cele, has been found guilty by Public Protector Thuli Madonsela of improper conduct for entering into a R500 million lease for a Pretoria building intended to host a new SAPS headquarters. But luckily for him, his good friends in government have his back.
South African police commissioner and original gangsta Bheki Cele was really impressed with his police work yesterday when he swooped down from on high in his mighty helicopter.
The target of his wrath was a house in the township of Katlehong, East of Johannesburg, where police minions had found a large arms cache.
I’m not sure if you’ve heard of the latest example of South African Police Service Force overkill. Journalist Mzilikazi wa Afrika was arrested for a yet-to-be-defined offense rather uncomfortably soon after the same journalist leveled serious corruption allegations against Police Brigadier General His Worship The Most Reverend Doctor His Honour Bheki Cele.
