Amid a crescendo of calls for Police Minister Bheki Cele to step down, he has again found himself in hot water as his decade-old investigation into the controversial R1.17 billion rental deal resurfaces, with civil organisations calling for an independent reinvestigation.
“The case under investigation and relates to Contravention of Section 86 of the Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999 and possible fraud and corruption,” she said. Madonsela said she rejected Cele’s argument that he was at the mercy of officials, some of whom had ignored his decision to withdraw all delegation of authority in respect of contracts exceeding R500 million.However, Hoffman said after 10 years of the case going cold and then resurfacing again, it made no sense that the ID was not looking to pursue the investigation itself, instead passing it on to the Hawks due to a lack of “time and resources”.
