I see the ANC were very careful in omitting anything about being surprised about his death. Normally they're "shocked" and "outraged" about everything. I can just imagine showerhead blundering though: "It comes...as a great surprise to those...of us...who knew...this man."
 
OMG He died almost 4 years after been released on medical parole! Medical parole is meant as a humanitarian act, for the terminally ill inmates, who are freed to die at home among family and friends. What a joke. Selebi did even more damage to South Africa's image than Schabir Shaik did.

Aye. Beeld editor on radio this afternoon mentioned his disgrace as chief of police, a job he apparently did not want. Also mentioned his successes as a teacher in the townships and social work from Shell House. Always going to be remembered for his failures. Such a pity, hey.

Do you know how to deal with a job you don't want? You don't take it.

What you don't do is take said job and then use it to personally enrich yourself at your country's expense.

Any positive things Selebi achieved are overshadowed by his massive failures, and he will justly be remembered for that. Or not remembered; history has a habit of forgetting failures.
