Beware Cele! Ian Cameron is heading to Parliament

Hero crime fighter Ian Cameron is entering politics. In this interview with BizNews, he speaks about his motivation for joining the Democratic Alliance (DA) and heading to Parliament. He also gives the assurance that he will remain involved in the civil rights work he has done for the past 15 years - and that he will continue to monitor the cases he has worked on. “I think we're at a very dangerous place in South Africa where the police, the police's wheels, for all practical purposes, have come off, in my opinion, and we need to find any way and means possible to try and influence that.” Cameron believes a mixture of civil action and more direct policy influencing through a parliamentary process can make a broader spectrum impact.
