Breytenbach found instant internet fame after grilling unbeloved Cele for the lack of accountability in Thabo Bester’s escape.

In the clip, the fiery blonde MP can be heard asking Cele,

“You didn’t inform the public of the escape because it was a Cash 22, [and] that it may have alerted Bester that you were on the lookout for him and you didn’t want to compromise the investigation?”

“Don’t you think that the public interest in this instance trumps the investigation of the police that was going absolutely nowhere until January?”

Breytenbach could also be heard addressing the rest of the house saying that every one of the state officials present had failed to do their job.

“It’s an absolute disgrace that victims of this man [Thabo Bester] were not warned, were not informed, were not protected. It’s an absolute disgrace, and you should hang your head (s) in shame—all of you.”
