Johannesburg - Bheki Cele on Wednesday wished the new police commissioner Mangwashi Victoria Phiyega the best of luck and said he will just “shut up and go home”.

Speaking at a news conference, the former top cop thanked South Africans who have shown him their support and said he is “walking tall”.

In a frank statement read out at the National Press Club, Cele said he faced three years of persecution by the media, singling out the Sunday Times newspaper.

“Reject the loud propaganda of the loud minority who writes newspapers,” he said.

“If I had one more day to live, I would live it with the police. Our paths will cross again.”
