The now police minister says he feels vindicated after seven long years.
The High Court in Pretoria has set aside then president Jacob Zuma’s decision to fire then police commissioner Bheki Cele after a public protector report and a board of inquiry found adversely against the commissioner.Cele is now the police minister, having made a return to the forefront of the state and ANC politics by supporting the rise of President Cyril Ramaphosa.
