The Star

PUBLIC Protector Kholeka Gcaleka has cleared former police minister Bheki Cele of accusations of chartering an SA Police Service (SAPS) helicopter to attend the ANC's 2024 election manifesto launch in February last year.

- LOYISO SIDIMBA

The DA complained to Gcaleka after Cele was seen arriving at Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium in an SAPS helicopter.

Andrew Whitfield, the DA's then shadow police minister, accused Cele of making use of the official aircraft as his taxi or e-hailing service to and from a political party event.

Whitfield also rejected Cele and the SAPS's averment that the former minister's use of the helicopter was in line with his "constitutional responsibility as a Minister of Police".

Elite continuity undermines justice in democracy

IT SEEMS a strange day to wake up to news that cast former presidents Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma as allies — cartoons must surely follow soon that strangely, different to public opinion, will show them on the same side of history, different to earlier satire that painted their rivalry as one that reshaped the country.
