It is by that principle that we wish to revisit our own position earlier in the week when we added our voices to the call that Minister of State Security Siyabonga Cwele step down from his position as a result of his wife being arrested on charges of being a drug peddler.

The minister deserves plaudits for the manner in which he has handled what must have been an embarrassing situation for him personally and politically.
Sorry, Sir
