Loading player...
Minister of Police Bheki Cele is in no mood to apologise to crime fighter Ian Cameron for shouting at him to “Shut Up” at a police Imbizo in Gugulethu last year. Speaking to BizNews, Cameron says Cele is considering an appeal to the finding of Parliament’s Joint Committee on Ethics and Members’ Interests that the Minister should do so in the House. Cameron vows: “…despite or regardless of what the Minister Cele says or doesn't say, I'm not going to shut up. I'm not going to keep quiet. And I'm certainly not going to stop speaking out against injustice - and I'm definitely not going to stop pointing out and speaking out against the abuse of power by certain politicians.” - Chris Steyn
