Cele’s comments sparked fierce debate online, with some agreeing with him and many slamming him for playing to “toxic stereotypes”.He said an 11-member detective team is investigating the murders and those responsible would be brought to book.“As of today [Monday] before you sleep, they [TRT] will be patrolling the area.
