South Africa's new police commissioner Bheki Cele, addresses the media in Pretoria on July 29, 2009. President Jacob Zuma named a close ally as South Africa's new police chief, 18 months after the country's top cop was put on special leave for alleged corruption. New police commissioner Bheki Cele, the provincial safety and transport minister in KwaZulu-Natal, pledged to take a tough stance against crime in South Africa, which is among the world's most violent countries. Cele said "You can't be nice, you can't be soft and you can't be moving around kissing crime. You need to be tough because you are dealing with tough guys." Cele also said "I would like one day for a young girl to be able to walk alone from a nightclub or elsewhere without any fear of attack, abuse or rape," Cele told a briefing alongside President Zuma. The top cop takes over the country's crime fighting force with the daunting task of reducing massive crime levels in a country where an average of 50 people are killed a day.

Nice Upgrades. Camo is a desert Tiger striped ( I think even I am not too sure. but then again I admit too not being perfect but I am close...) and very well blended, upgraded boots and knee and elbow pads always a plus. still wearing the Gulf war vintage helmet but then most are not doing better sept perhaps the dutch. hard too see any body armor but it looks like he might be wearing some. load kit is good An would you look at that hog leg in his hands they went and put lip stick on a pig for that girl M4 stock Aimpoint sight not too bad looks like a 556er or a 5.45er or some one cut off the rest of the mag.

bd popeye · Aug 3, 2009

Thanks T_E for your expert annalist.

I was very curious about the cammo he has on. I have to wonder where he got it

Kinda looks like the USAF but the wrong color scheme. And not the exact pattern.

And armor??

I think my man pictured has no armor. All in all a nice set up. ,,By the way I'm trying to learn this ground pounder (infantry/grunt/SOF) gear.

.

TerraN_EmpirE · Aug 4, 2009

the USAF uniform is based on the tiger stripe pattern, And don't count body armor out. based on his kit which looks pretty top of the line when compared too his compatriot in the background; this Iraqi is probably Some kind of SF trooper who has no doubt been fitted too keep him in the fight and loaded with American Training the uniform is built for body armor ( hence the deltoids pockets too allow easy reach too gear well his chest is covered.) and there are a number of smaller vests that include Load barring kit like say The Rhodesian Reconnaissance Vest a system developed commercially that includes the capacity to carry a front and back Ballistic Plate.
