On Saturday, he was in Lichtenburg in the North West to bury two officers who were killed while out investigating a stock theft case.He said there were people who believed committing crime was a good thing.
“They think it’s good to be bad and to be bad is good. Those who are safe from Covid are killed by criminals,” said Cele.“If we don’t change South Africa is going to kill itself. We will finish ourselves. I don’t know why we hate ourselves so much. Let’s refuse to co-govern with criminals,” said Cele.
