IAN CAMERON: CELE & RAMAPHOSA protect each other… A medal from China & lots of “dirt” on top ANC officials

Loading player...
Police Minister Bheki Cele and President Cyril Ramaphosa are protecting each other - and he has so much dirt on high-ranking ANC officials, that he can’t be sacked. This has emerged from an interview with Action Society’s Ian Cameron who says: “Well, I think they protect each other… And I also think they can't really sack Cele because he's got so much dirt on all of them that if they were to sack him and he starts spilling the beans, it will be quite an awkward silence for a lot of people in the higher ranks of the ANC.” Cameron speaks to BizNews after Cele received the Great Wall Commemorative Medal from China. It is awarded to law enforcement officers from foreign countries who have made outstanding contributions towards protecting the safety of Chinese citizens. “My honest opinion is that it's certainly not for good policing service. I think it's because Minister Bheki Cele is a way and means basically for the Chinese government and certain well-connected Chinese officials to get to the South African State and obviously the ANC,” says Cameron.
