Police minister Bheki Cele on Sunday denied that the police were providing security for ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte after media reports that her home had been burgled.
“There is no member of the SA Police Services that is guarding either Jessie or her house,” said Cele during an interview with eNCA’s Dasen Thathiah.
He said he was disappointed by the report because he had explained to the journalist who wrote the story that this was false. “Why would a journalist ask me a question that Jessie is given [protection by] the police because the police minister is trying to woo Jessie to join the CR17 camp. That is politics from journalists. When you try to explain to them, you are taken to task and it is said that you are threatening journalists.”
When contacted, ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe said he was aware of the report and would be speaking to Duarte about the matter. Meanwhile, the ANC's Nomvula Mokonyane told TimesLIVE that the organisation was concerned about the reports.
