Get your hand out my pocket!

I think i might give away a million bucks

Our Police commissioner has been in the news for all the wrong reasons, firstly it was the house which cost R1,4 million which he pays only R10 000 for on a monthly basis and the government coughs up the other R30 000 for the house, not only that but he called for members of The South African police force to keep the same size uniform for the next 7 years, now he’s found himself getting more unwanted attention by losing R20 000 on a flight and telling people that he had not had enough time to open  a case docket, Imagine telling him that you as a citizen of this country didn’t have enough time to open a case, he’d shoot you where you stand.

Here are the details of this mysterious R20 000:




"How much do I earn? I can afford to have that amount of money with me with the salary I earn."

This was national police commissioner General Bheki Cele's response when asked why he was carrying R20 000 in a bag which was stolen off an SAA business-class flight in May.

Responding to questions posed by DA MP Dianne Kohler Barnard this week, Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa confirmed in a written reply to Parliament that the stolen bag containing R20 000 belonged to Cele.

This comes after it was alleged that Cele had not reported the incident to the police.

On Wednesday, Cele said he had reported the incident to police at OR Tambo International Airport but had not had time to open a case docket. The matter was, therefore, not investigated.   

Mthethwa had said an investigation had taken place, but he did not provide details.

Cele was returning from KwaZulu-Natal after having attended to official business when the money was stolen.

Mthethwa said the money was Cele's private money and was not intended for public use.

Asked by Kohler Barnard whether it was standard for the commissioner to carry such a large amount of cash on his person, Mthethwa said there were no further details.

Kohler Barnard has submitted follow-up questions to the ministry to flesh out the details of the case. She was not satisfied with the response as there were too many unanswered questions.

Kohler Barnard added: "I find it most peculiar and odd that we have a police commissioner who would choose to carry that amount of cash in a bag."

In June, a weekly newspaper reported that Cele's residence in Durban had been burgled. It was alleged that R1 million in cash had been stolen.

But the commissioner said the report was fabricated. "My house was never broken into, I don't know where that story came from," he said.

Cele said he earns more than R1m a year. "Do the calculations yourself. I can afford to draw that amount; not once, not twice, but as many times as I like," he said.

Mr Finish and Klaar

South Africa’s last Police commissioner Jackie Selebi was corrupt as hell and received plenty of bribes in similar amounts, we can’t help but ask why you lost R20 000 and you didn’t have enough time to report it ?

The perfect answer to the media from Bheki Cele shoud be “Get your hand out my pocket nigga!”
