Build One South Africa Advocates for Removal of Police Minister Bheki Cele Amidst July 2021 Unrest Fallout

Build One South Africa calls for the removal of Police Minister Bheki Cele, citing police and intelligence failures during the July 2021 unrest. The South African Human Rights Commission’s report reveals communication breakdowns, insufficient resources, and technological limitations, leading to a week-long breakdown of law and order in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. BOSA argues that Cele’s removal is crucial to restoring public trust and credibility in the police force. The party further proposes measures to rebuild trust, expand the South African Police Service’s capacity, and revitalize the criminal justice system.
