National Police Commissioner Bheki Cele has retracted a public statement he made last year that referred to murder-accused British businessman, Shrien Dewani, as “a monkey”.
The retraction comes in response to a formal complaint lodged with the Public Protector, Thuli Madonsela, by Paul Hoffman, the director of the Institute for Accountability in Southern Africa.
In a written statement sent to Madonsela, Cele said it was not his intention to offend or harm anyone.
Madonsela says she has accepted the statement and that the matter is now closed.
