Former Police Minister Bheki Cele says that he accepts KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi s withdrawal of his statement that he received money from Vusimuzi Cat Matlala, who is accused of attempted murder.
Cele is appearing before Parliaments Ad Hoc committee that was established to look into allegations of criminal infiltration, corruption and political interference in the justice system. These allegations were made by Mkhwanazi in July this year.
On Thursday night, the committees Evidence Leader, Adv Norman Arendse read out a message from Mkhwanazi withdrawing the allegation, indicating that the bank account number was incorrect, meaning Cele was not the recipient.
