Protocols to allow the National Prosecuting Authority to accept private donor funding in order to solve complex cases have been finalised and are being implemented.
Both the Moloi Inquiry and the Public Protector have identified unlawful activity involving Bheki Cele and the police headquarters leases. Prosecuting Cele ticks all the boxes; it is high-profile – he is a national Cabinet minister; it is serious – what could be more serious that corruption.
The police minister lives a life of impunity. He is notorious for going to war with senior members of police management. And there has been no known progress on the NPA’s investigation of the alleged or suspected criminality and corruption of Cele.
