"He will appoint the ministers and delegate. After he has been sworn in he assumes the power and runs the country alone. For now, he has a Cabinet and Cele is one member of the Cabinet and the minister of police."

 

Cele will remain a member of cabinet for just a few more hours. 


He is one of several ministers who are not returning to Parliament.
