The South African honeymoon murder inquiry was embroiled in a race row after a top black policeman branded the victim’s South Asian millionaire husband a monkey

The extraordinary twist came as national police ­commissioner General Bheki Cele claimed Shrien Dewani arranged the hit on his bride two weeks into their marriage. He said: "A monkey came all the way from London to have his wife ­murdered here. Shrien thought we South ­Africans were stupid when he came all the way to kill his wife in our country. He lied to himself." There is fear that the words of General Cele, who is black, will fuel tensions between black South Africans and the country’s large South Asian community, which plays a key role in the nation’s economy. A friend of Dewani said the outburst showed there was little hope the 30-year-old care home owner would get a fair trial in South Africa. Dewani, from Bristol, is fighting extradition to South Africa after being accused of paying two hitmen to kill his wife Anni while the couple toured a township near Cape Town in a taxi. Zola Tongo, the taxi driver Dewani allegedly hired to organize his bride’s death, has been jailed for 18 years, reduced from 25 years after he implicated the Briton in the murder. Two other men, Xolile Mngeni, 23, and Mziwamadoda Qwabe, 25, face charges of murder, aggravated robbery and kidnapping.

The guy is the country's police chief, General Cele.

When asked about this on a talk show, he responded: "what race is a monkey? that's not racist? how can it be racist to call someone a monkey?"

Therefore, let it be known from now on that blacks are no longer allowed to be upset when anyone calls them a monkey.

There are also other issues with things he's said. Originally, he stated that the husband is definitely not a suspect. During the course of the investigation, allegations were made of torture of suspects by the police. A day or three later, a deal was struck by the driver and middle man, who got 18 years in a plea agreement - he stated that the husband of the deceased lady ordered the hit.

When this came to light, Cele declared: "it's really nothing new, we knew this from the very start".

Earlier this year (early May; before the World Cup), South Africans awoke to headlines of a right-wing terror plot accusing whites of wanting to plant bombs and attack black townships, and reporters were fed information about how country-wide raids led to arms caches being found, with terms like "arsenals of destruction" and "bloodbath" being bandied about. Those guilty were characterised as "Neo-Nazis" and "terrorists".

However, it then turned out to be a group of young guys who were upset about ANC hate-chants being sung en masse at universities etc., inciting the genocide of whites. President Jacob Zuma is fond of dancing around while singing "bring my machine gun" and ANC members and leaders alike tend to go for "kill the boer", which incidentally has been written on farmhouse walls of murdered women (Alice & Helen Lotter), who were brutally tortured to death over several hours, having pieces of flesh, including uterus and breasts hacked off with broken beer bottles. "Boer" means farmer in Dutch and Afrikaans, but generally refers to all whites, "kill the boer" was written on their walls using their blood.

Now, understandably these kids would be upset. So they had too many beers and came up with the bright idea to pee on the grave of an ANC ambassador to Indonesia (who probably died of AIDS). This "vandalizing" of the grave was then blown up completely out of proportion by National Police Chief Cele and Minister of Police Nathi Mthethwa. The white kids were tortured (obviously) and when journalists contacted the 'usual suspects' right-wing groups, none of them knew anything about it. So much for the so-called explosives and arms caches. The case has mysteriously gone quiet.

Around the time of the world cup, black police officers were witnessed as attacking whites and shouting "we're going to kill all you f*ing whites!", amidst widespread 'rumours' that on 12 July all whites would be killed - the day after the World Cup ended.

Since then, a white farmer has laid a complaint of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity against 12 South African leaders, including Cele, the President Zuma, Malema who was front and center with "kill the boer". The ICC in The Hague has confirmed it is investigating the matter.

One thing is sure - Cele's word cannot be trusted. He is a liar who loves showing off.

Thanks for the comments. I like how it is apparently alright for a black person to call someone of another race a "monkey" but it would be considered racist if a white person were to do the same thing.

Unfortunately, this is the sort of thing that we see in most African countries where those in charge rule through a combination of incompetence, oppression and corruption.
