Police minister Bheki Cele on Friday admitted that both he and activist Ian Cameron could have handled their robust public outburst “in a better way”.
The minister did not take kindly to the statement Cameron made and told him he did not joined human rights battles yesterday. Later, when Cameron was trying to respond, Cele told him to “shut up” a number of times and told him to “listen” or “get out” before Cameron was pushed out by one of the policemen at the venue.
Explaining his version of events, Cele said he was attending a meeting at his constituency in Nyanga to discuss a wide range of societal issues. Cele said Cameron, who had not been invited to attend the meeting, was given an opportunity to speak. He said everyone had listened to Cameron but when it was his chance to respond to him, Cameron apparently interrupted him.
