He said ordering Cele to apologise is a first and appreciated step, but he believes Cele owes the whole country an apology.
“Confidence in the South African Police Service (SAPS) is at an all-time low while the shocking levels of crime have led to South Africa being considered the third most unsafe country in the world.”
“An honorable person will gracefully walk out, but Cele seems too hungry for power. Therefore, Action Society will continue to demand that he resign from his post as minister of police and be removed.
“Nothing has changed since that day; about, in fact, more people are dying now. An apology without action will always be empty. The
SAPS needs to be restructured and rebuilt. Cele must be the first to go.”Cameron told Maroela Media
