Cele was there to launch a reaction team after nine people were killed and 60 houses burnt by striking mineworkers, but got a hot reception.
Minister of Police Bheki Cele received a less than warm reception in Blybank on the West Rand yesterday, with angry residents yelling they needed jobs and money instead of the newly deployed police team in their community.
While the police units being deployed into the area paraded at Blybank sportsground, residents watched from afar. Cele said: “Basically the conflict here is about labour issues. It’s Amcu and NUM not seeing eye to eye when it comes to their engagement with management.” “We are working with the council to ensure that as people come back, their houses are put back in shape.”
