South African MP Fadiel Adams says investigations have not been properly pursued into claims involving Police Minister Bheki Cele, including allegations that Cele was linked to a “slush fund.” Adams also alleges Cele played a role in the appointment of Lieutenant General Dumisani Khumalo as head of Crime Intelligence. In response, the Johnson referenced in the report denies Adams’s claims of “selective prosecution,” maintaining that the matter is not being treated differently from similar cases. The dispute centers on whether authorities failed to investigate the allegations adequately and whether that failure amounts to preferential or targeted enforcement. The article does not provide details on the investigative status, findings, or specific actions taken by law-enforcement agencies regarding the alleged slush fund or Khumalo’s appointment. It also does not outline any documentary evidence or official responses beyond the denial of selective prosecution. The claim and denial are presented as part of an ongoing political and legal controversy surrounding accountability and investigations into senior policing figures.
