Beki Cele
chairs the IMC
Bheki Cele served as South Africa’s National Police Commissioner before becoming Minister of Police, a role in which he faced scrutiny during the commission. Testimony described his involvement in disciplinary matters and his oversight when a R360 million police contract was awarded to businessman Mr Matlala. Cele addressed media on behalf of an Inter-Ministerial Committee on political killings and wrote to the National Director about case coordination, voicing concerns over delays. He was also said to have directed the police Task Team to investigate the Fort Hare University matter. Questions arose about a statement he made in Parliament regarding a meeting, which his successor called a lie, and an advocate noted that Cele himself was implicated in two serious criminal cases.
