More and more South Africans are bemoaning the lack of accountability from Minister of Police Bheki Cele…and award-winning actress Simone Nortmann is one of them.

Following the controversial minister’s latest embarrassing stint — screaming at activist Ian Cameron who asked him hard-hitting questions on Tuesday 5 July — Cele has remained a trending topic on social media

Now South Africans – and particularly Cameron’s civil rights organisation Action Society – are petitioning for Bheki Cele to be removed from his ministerial post.

On her Instagram Stories, the former 7de Laan star revealed that she was “hopeful” for change. She also believed that the ruling party would lose the 2024 presidential elections.

She shared: “The party that can put petty politics aside and unites a nation through dirtying their hands with service is the party that will govern SA in the time to come”.

“There is hope at the end of this tunnel and light at the end of this electricity nightmare. What was hidden will come to light. And even if not in our lifetime, or this side of eternity, justice will be served”.

Fashion designer Thula Sindi added of Bheki Cele: “He’ll get back into his chauffeur-driven Mercedes and go back to his secure suburban complex and leave them in the same circumstances to be murdered and brutalised”.

Actor and media personality likened Bheki Cele to a corrupt movie character from the movie A Few Good Men.
