“Ramaphosa has heeded the sound advice of the EFF and seperated the two warring individuals, whose relations had undermined efforts to fight crime in South Africa, but he has fired the wrong person. The problem in SAPS is not the Commissioner, it is the Minister” – EFF
According to the EFF, it doesn’t matter who is appointed to replace Sitole, as Cele will continue to micro manage them and render SAPS unworkable.
“The EFF maintains that Bheki Cele’s history as an administrator, by having been a Commissioner of Police places him in a position where he will always presume he knows how best to execute those duties. Cele will always overstep his role as a political head, and seek to run the administrative affairs and bureaucracy of the police even when it is not his responsibility,” the party adds.
