Johannesburg - Police Minister Bheki Cele wants action to be taken against a senior Mpumalanga officer who allegedly failed to arrest Premier Refilwe Mtsweni-Tsipane on the spot for not wearing mask at the funeral of former minister in the Presidency Jackson Mthembu on Sunday.
While Cele insists on demanding a report about the officerâs alleged failure to execute an arrest on the Premier - he said the Mpumalanga Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Mondli Zuma acted within the prescribed law under the adjusted lockdown level 3 to arrest Premier Refilwe Mtsweni-Tsipane on Monday - a day after the transgression was committed in full view of the nation who watched the proceedings on national TV stations.
