🚨'He called her a flat chicken.' - Police Minister Bheki Cele has been called to withdraw his statement in Parliament accusing DA leader John Steenhuisen of abusing his ex-wife by calling her 'roadkill'😲 SONA2023 BhekiCele TheCitizenNews
said Cele had nothing to do with Steenhuisen’s marital life, saying his claims were dangerous as they would lead to other MPs making unsubstantiated allegations in order to score political points.
The EFF leader called on National Council of Provinces chairperson Amos Masondo to order Cele to withdraw his claims. “We really cannot, with you chair sitting there, allow a situation where he drags the wife of the leader of the opposition who is not here. “We should not use women to fight our own political battles to a point where allegations that cannot be confirmed are said here,” said Malema.Masondo said Cele’s allegations were unparliamentary and derogatory. He urged MPs to refrain from mentioning non-members of Parliament, who cannot defend themselves in the House.
He indicated that the minister had already sent a message that he wished to withdraw and apologise for his claims before the DA lodged a complaint.“I withdraw,” said Cele.
