South African ex-police minister Bheki Cele told a parliamentary committee on Oct. 23, 2025, that the bail system enables dangerous repeat offenders to go free, undermining public safety and police efforts.
Former South African police minister Bheki Cele testified before a parliamentary committee on October 23, 2025, criticizing the country’s bail system as flawed and dangerous, saying it allows repeat offenders, including those accused of violent crimes, to be released despite posing risks to public safety and law enforcement.
He highlighted cases where individuals convicted of serious crimes were granted bail even after sentencing, undermining police work and eroding public trust.
The hearing, part of a broader investigation into corruption and misconduct in the criminal justice system, includes scrutiny of allegations by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi regarding political interference and compromised investigations.
The session was broadcast live, drawing significant public and political attention.
