At a briefing in Durban yesterday, Cele said that since the Inter-Ministerial Committee's appointment last year, 161 arrests have been made.

"I do not deal with speculation and I do not deal with cases that are not finalised. If there are investigations then I will know when they are finalised. I do not do investigations."
