Bheki cele contact details

SOUTH Africans should not hesitate to phone police commissioner General Bheki Cele on his personal cellphone should they find no joy from any of the country's nearly 200000 police officers.

Speaking during the launch of Operation Duty Call Festive Season Campaign in Ekurhuleni yesterday, Cele urged South Africans who felt let down by the police to contact him directly.

Cele, who was with Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa, made this bold declaration to hundreds of Ekurhuleni residents and police officers.

"Our members must respond to complaints in time.

If not, they must contact me on 082-900-3569 any time," Cele said, adding - on a lighter note - that he did not want people to contact him in the early hours of the morning to test if the telephone number was working.

"We also request you to be our eyes and ears," Cele said.

"You must inform us about criminals in your area because you know them."
