He branded booze a"curse" and confirmed that he was against the lifting of restrictions on the sale of alcohol.n Thursday addressed the ANC eThekwini region through an online lecture via Facebook."Show me someone who is nothing today because they did not drink.
To further demonstrate his strong desire for a sober SA, Cele said he wished he knew what he could"put in alcohol so that you can hate it".
Not your due restriction you are overlapping on Zweli's department stay in your lane
Alcohol abuse is exacerbated by the rocketing depression, stress and anxiety in the population exacerbated by binge drinking as a direct result of the ban. Also, I wonder how many smokers turned to alcohol?
Been sniffing sanitiser alcohol. . . . .or he is just that stupid.
Ur bussy killing our tax n later u will blame CR7 Thumamina.Think 2s plz.
Rather focus on crime that is escalating instead on focusing on the booze!
Do not believe you
Maybe we need a minister of police the. Mr Cele can become minister of alcohol. He will be happy then because that is all he talks about. Women and children abuse nothing just harping on alcohol.
RUBBISH!!! LIAR!!!
He is talking shit
2019 Provincial health hospital budget is 36.7 bn , 85 362 public hospital beds , so basically according to him achoholics use 40% of provincial hospitals and over 💯 of the provincial health budget
So why did they open alcohol sales in the first place GBV and domestic violence was on the rise and they still opened it? Oh, and not cigarettes...? Go figure....!!
Mr Cele must just focus on his job , that's Mr Mkhize's department
How many graves are filled by victims of gender violence?
At least the CubaDoctors are to to work.
Stop dwelling on the alcohol do ur job to serve nd protect citizens of this country, this is an indication of ur incompetence at its level best. The women in this are getting killed every day nd our brothers massacred in numbers Bheki Cele is failing the people
Lmao
Wake up Cele, you are in the middle of a kak dream broer....and if you want to see this dream becomes a nightmare, you must ban alcohol again. We are sick and tired off your dictations. Go do what all pensioners do - stay at home.
SouthAfricansP1 Unfortunately the ANC have a legacy of lying, please provide proof first.
SouthAfricansP1 Ag tog! As kak praat 'n spikkel was dan was jy 'n tarrentaal.....
Must have been in the same maths class as Zuma - Smoking cow dung in the back. Parasites will do that to your brain.
Poor Clown once again talking rubbish. Shame, poor SA with this clueless old oupa for a Min of Policing. He knows blow-all about crime prevention and catching criminals. OR like his mentor JZ, he cannot read large numbers. I don't for one moment believe him. He is HOPELESS. 🗣🗣
We should let these idiots self destruct.
Because of crime, not alcohol.
The alcohol should be bannend.
does this stupid old man work at health department? his main focus is on alcohol not crime
When did you start working for health dept, aka chuck.
This is simply not true please let’s not lie to push our agenda
Ivelaphi inzondo yakhe yokuphuza utshwala? Futhi, inzondo yakhe yabantu abaphuza lezi ziphuzo zotshwala, ivelaphi?
Kak story
Cele is right,, hospitals are over crowded because of the abuse in alcohol consumption
All thanks to CyrilRamaphosa.
Why do i feel like this 34k its exaggerated 👀👀👀. Aii Bheki !
ngwanamogoto 👆🏿
Are you the health minister now?
Mnxim stupid guy.Dont want to talk about drugs cause he might be the boss too.
This dom kop. Women are dying left and right. All he is concerned about is alcohol
Unxilile lo
What's that got to do with Covid
Ban Alcohol Ndosi the country needs those beds for Covid 19
Where did he get those stats from or just another made up figure like Zuma and her 2000
Stop blaming alcohol if u can't do your job.. Rather step aside motherfucker!!!
Ucinisile
It’s the health minister that’s supposed to say that
I did say this will end in tears😑......and then people will want to blame others, but they were busy here making geras......sien julle nou, is julle gelukkig Did u see the death cases😑
Focus on your own people who are gunpointing and robbing each other, and leave the alcohol alone
And thousands of Nigerians still selling Nyaope in every corner of South Africa
Alcohol must be ban, people are rowdy when they are drunk
O please you are talking hog wash now!
It must fall
Blame people not alcohol.
So what?
Where were saps? Observing from the sidelines?
O mr Cele. You are so dilusional?
making up numbers as they go
buvale Ndosi utshwala finish
34 000 beds occupied by people who decided to drink n drive what is the Covid-19 Command saying about that?
I think we must take our Minister to anger management I sense a much anger, perception of me?
This is just the way they want to manipulate people lockdown banned cigarettes and alcohol what shit is that we not minors and its that stuff that bring in the most taxes now we fucked and we are so long in lockdown
Lies
The government must ban the beds... There won't be no reason for hospitalization. 😝
In South Africa, propaganda is what we not gonna entertain.
34000? Amanga 🤣
Running his mouth again
Yip so no one can get sick, have operation, be in car accidents, eat too much ( 4166 deaths a month). STOP living!!! We need the beds.
Uyanya lo, he can fuseg SAPoliceService
They're defending alcohol but condemning GBV, what kind of psychology is this?
Dick Tracy, the irony is that your buddies were supposed to create more beds for corona patients in the time when you were arresting people for walking their dogs. But they didn’t.
Can he produce a prove of that?
We have SASSA. And there's Bheki Cele 🤣
Cele stop to waste your time
Hoedspruit, your lips are moving, we spoke about it didnt we!?!?! Jy moet luister boetie!!! Now go catch the real tsotsies, and get of this “robocop Fascination” regards alcohol
How much alcohol was stolen by the police during level 4/5
What about 34000 of unemployed people because due to corruption?
This one is a classic example of incompetence
This madala likes lying too much
But alcohol contribute more to fiscus please look after your tax base
I have doubts...SA government can never be that efficient in counting or recording...their track record says it very well. There's an ulterior motive here. But its just my doubts nje
Mxm this guy thinks we are really idiots!
Ai maan eeeish that's a lie
Maaka
When will he focus on real crimes? We have a huge problem with GBV & rape etc. Some crimes are of psychotic criminals that dont need alcohol to commit a crime. So bring back the dignity to the face of the law because criminals dont respect nor fear any jail time.
This of coz is his department.
Minister, apart from the fact that your figure of 34 000 is almost certainly a thumbsuck, and not founded on any facts, why should we believe you? You are one of those Ministers who doesn't believe in transparency, makes stupid 'rules', pig-headedly refuses to change course,
Mr Bheki Cele must shut up. He must engage his commissioner and improve policing
This man was once fired for corruption, he must stop projecting himself as a 'know it all' saint
Minister do you know why,it's because people were thirsty for alcohol & celebration made them to drink over the limits on the first day!!! Go to Tops today& tomorrow you will find no long queues & people are drink normal again!!! Note:People were drink normal before lockdown!!!!!
Since we are on the topic. Can we get a report of the color of the people in those beds?
How about SA issues a liquor license, similar to a drivers license. If you are irresponsible with liquor consumption, your license to buy alcohol gets revoked. No need to punish responsible citizens & the economy by reinstating the liquor ban...
Minister of alcohol confiscation.
He is talking so much shit. Who is going to believe that story. He’s a joke. He must be the dumbest minister in history
Rubbish
How does he know that how come every thing is blamed on an outside force or cause😠🤔😤
How many graveyards have been filled with women murdered by their intimate patners? We understand that alcohol is very bad and should be banned, but why is he silent when it comes to femicide? An 8months pregnant woman got murdered for God's sake! PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa
Pure desperation of clinging into power, just accept it 'General', you are dead tired!
Another domkop!! 😠😠
Thats why crime stats are the way they are, he is focusing on issues that do not concern him. Department yakhe is Police and not health.
Why is he not commenting about crime in our country and stop focusing on the alcohol 😡😡😡
You should have stated 34 000 hospital beds are occupied due to different cases not only alcohol you are now exaggeraterating
Alcohol is not our problem . criminals dont fear the punishment . police dont want follow harsh crime ,because they fear the criminal . the justice system is flawed .murderess ,rapist ,drug dealers and robbers get away. drinkers and smokers are their easy prey for police
You worried about beds not crime. Trump said Africa is a shit hole now I'm starting to believe him now.
Mr move on hw far with Meyiwa's fmly?
Okay, so alcohol is a remedy fir Covid-19 🤔. Don't think he can even count to 999. No problem to lie.
And here I thought cigarettes was going to fill up the beds
Do your job Bheki. You are not deployed to fight alcohol but to fight crime if you can't do it just step aside
Because....the ANC has not made SA a better place. Live is crap for most. And the only way to escape is a drink or ten.
Leshano marn , sies !
These guy, how money cos of drugs, how many cos of corruption, how many cos of police brutality, how many cos of poor police reaction, how cos of police ignorance. He shloud stop blaming alcohol and deal with real crime
Minister think you must go and spend time with your famly..... we wont take your serious now no matter you raise facts because you always offside
He's correct 'economy to open however not the expense of lives'; & his jest ' who's nothing today bcoz they not drink (alcohol)'?
Agh shut up
And how many of the beds are being occupied by smokers? DlaminiZuma CyrilRamaphosa GovernmentZA
That's lie
Alcohol is the only thing he knows how to police Mxm 🙄
We are being physically abused, killed, raped and sexually violated while you are chasing alcoholics and cigarettes smugglers... It is about time you changed focus
Lies lies
Lieing swine
Always offside this1 issa bipolar 🚮
Lies
Ai this one is on a mission, yeeerrrr... If determination was a person, why can't they all be like him - Public Servant 💯
Leave alcoholics our sisters are being killed...
DICK Tracy gotta go
Saze salithwala idombolo
How is CR running a goverment with so many idiots as ministers?
That much Mongameli🤔🤔
We wanna see those hospitals
Fake News 🙌🏾
Prove it.
He's taken tips from his comrade NDZ..... Just exaggerate the numbers to benefit one's own agenda.
Our sisters are dying daily out there and all he care about is alcohol, our so called Minister.
So vele this man only wants to Police alcohol? He's just not interested in solving any other crime besides alcohol.
Young women are being brutalized and murdered but this clown is busy ka alcohol.
This guy is loosing a focus. Focus on the GBV,different kinds of Crimes SA is facing. If someone committed an offense, let the law take its course. Therefore the mandate of soldiers and lawenforcement is useless.
Phoisa, stop looting & build more hospitals. There's enough funds. Drop the convoys tsa di X5's, bodyguards & ntonintoni. Focus pls baba
but when people lie...
Not a single bed would have been occupied because of smokers. Penny wise pound foolish. Just saying.
How do you link that with alcohol?
but when people zol...
Mpendulo_teb 34k hhayi Bheki you are now exaggerating
Find us Senzo killers they could be one of the 34000
Now he's the health minister Kahle kahle what is the obsession with alcohol
Is busy with alcohol but 😢😢😢agg ne fok🖐️🤦
Wake up South Africa...….
Awusiyeke bo ngotshwala!!!
Cele is becoming useless by the day
Lies 🤥
Manje ucabanga ukwenzenjan?
Please show us those Hospitals
Somehow someway someone family member is an alcoholic and this is affecting Mzanzi as whole. We are drinking alcohol but we act good.
And it’s all your fault if you didn’t ban alcohol ppl would have not been excited about opening so it would have been less cases...., please use your head
I doubt this moron has accurate data & I'm sure he wouldn't be able to understand it anyway.
This bloke ego is utterly bloated.
The can ban our vote ❎ too. The police must do their job and traffic officers too must be on the road like they were during level 5 lock down.
Doctor bheki Cele, how true is that
34K 🤨 , the dude is probably lying to give his alcohol stance some weight.
Within 2 weeks of alcohol unban 34 000 hospital beds are occupied due to alcohol. Really? Where is the proof? 1st it was reported that 20 000 or 2000 people voted for the ban on cigarettes and now this. Let's connect the dots.
At the rate hes going I assume ALCOHOL will be banned again till level 1
I wonder which hospital this people occupy all the beds 🛌? Because in Limpopo we handle have this alcohol accident.
Yet he is silent on GBV,okgonetse matagwa
And 100 000 people are robbed weekly because of your department’s incompetence.
Let them sleep on beer crates
If he entered a talk crap competition guess who'd win
Great alcoholism cured covid19
Give the smokers a chance and see how many beds they will occupy
