Jackie Selebi has died

Can't say I have any feelings or sympathies for this one...

Schabir needs to pop his clogs now as well.
 
I suppose it would be too much to ask for decorum on this forum.

I think people have been remarkably restrained.

This man dragged our country's name through the mud in international circles.
 
How very odd, for some reason I was thinking about him just this morning when contemplating how many South Africans rode the wave of the Mandela years to get appointed into high ranking globally significant roles (Selebi, Mamphela, etc) only to crash and burn horribly (I suppose it was prompted by watching the Elementary episode where the head of the threat assessment agency is shown to have links to one of the New York crime families)
 
While I won't speak bad about the dead in will say this guy single handedly almost destroyed the saps. He used it as his personal team to confiscate drugs and resell them. He should never have been a policeman
 
Former national police commissioner Jackie Selebi has died aged 64, the African National Congress said on Friday.

"The department of correctional services has confirmed this to us," spokesman Zizi Kodwa said.

The corruption-convicted Selebi died on Friday morning.

Eyewitness News reported that Selebi's friend, Schabir Shaik said he heard the news this morning.

"I believe he's been in an induced coma for some time now for about two-and-a-half weeks. He finally passed on between late last night and early this morning I believe," he was quoted as saying.

"He was a good man," Shaik said.

"I have good memories when I worked with him at [ANC headquarters] Shell House in the early 90s. I recall him to be a good comrade."
