If the harsh words of Police Minister Bheki Cele at Lieutenant Colonel Charl Kinnear’s funeral are anything to go through, those who stripped the senior detective of protection will know their fate soon.
Speaking at Kinnear’s funeral on Saturday at Every Nation Church in Goodwood, Cape Town, Cele reiterated her statement that the investigation into why Kinnear was “left naked and vulnerable” will leave no stone unturned and that “heads will roll” .
“This is our last mile, it could be the first mile,” Cele said. “Too many people who have spoken here have cried but I don’t think I would like to cry. I would request permission to celebrate. We don’t mourn heroes, we celebrate heroes. And heroes don’t die. They multiply “.
The funeral was attended by Western Cape Prime Minister Alan Winde, Community Security MEC Albert Fritz, Chris Nissen from the South African Human Rights Commission and senior police officers.
About 120 people attended the service inside the dimly lit church. The number was limited so that mourners could observe Covid-19 regulations. The church can accommodate up to 2,000 people.
