Bheki Cele says Khehla Sitole conflict has been exaggerated
Police Minister Bheki Cele says the conflict between him and police commissioner Khehla Sitole has been exaggerated.
He compared their working relationship to a marriage, saying conflict and differences of opinion are unavoidable.
“I think continuously we are working together to deal with the crime which does not mean that time does not come where we see things differently,” Cele said.
“Yes indeed, it will be fine to deal with these things privately but to say we’ll have to see things, in the same way, all the time and agree, I think that would be a fake working relationship.”
Sitole said any disagreement between himself and Cele was never personal.
“To me from a career corps perspective, he always remains the minister, no matter what he says and what he does.
“From a discipline’s point of view, I can never disrespect him but if I fear to tell him the truth then I will be doing an injustice to the country because it’s also my responsibility to give operational advice to him to say, this is where SAPS must go,” Sitole said.
