Blue light brigade in a meeting

'There's a history of blue-light terrorism'

The MEC for safety and security, Bheki Cele, will today (Wednesday)
address the province's VIP protection officers in Pietermaritzburg in
an attempt to rein them in.
He has been given a mandate by the provincial cabinet to tackle the
increasing number of blue light incidents in KwaZulu-Natal.
Cele confirmed on Tuesday that the matter was a security issue and
would be closed to the media.
This meeting comes after an incident this month in which eight people
were injured when a car carrying five passengers veered off the
highway after a tyre was shot at, allegedly by a blue light driver.
The car swerved into the oncoming, N3 northbound lane and collided
with a bakkie.
Constable Hlanganani Nxumalo, 28, who was in the police car speeding
to fetch the MEC for social development, Meshack Radebe, from his
Hillcrest home to take him to Molweni, has been charged with eight
counts of attempted murder and was refused bail last week.
Emergency
Radebe, who initially distanced himself from the incident, said in a
recent media report, that there had been an emergency and he had to
get to Molweni - 12 hours after the storm - to see how he could help
and save lives.
He also condemned motorists who did not give way to blue light
vehicles.
"I am not condoning VIP drivers' behaviour, but I have experienced
rude behaviour from motorists. They seldom give way and for no reason
show us rude signs.
"Others, when they see us coming, speed up and then brake
unexpectedly. Our drivers are trained to protect us.
"We are heading to elections and they need to ensure our safety. If a
driver behaves like that, how do they know we are not being ambushed?
Their reaction is to push aside and shoot."
Radebe said he was taking strain after the incident and had been
booked off sick.
His comments were met with harsh criticism from the public, who
slammed Radebe's statements as "ludicrous" and "a reflection of the
moral and intellectual decay of the country's government".
