Bheki Cele and Wife spotted getting down on the dance floor at a party – WATCH! Former Minister of Police Bheki Cele has been making headlines once again—not for his time in office, but for his vibrant New Year’s Eve celebrations. Cele and his wife, Thembeka Ngcobo, were spotted dancing the night away at an all-white party, showcasing a playful and relaxed side of the retired politician.
A Festive New Year’s Celebration
The former minister, who stepped down from his cabinet position last year after the national elections, has been spending more time with his family at their Durban home. In a recent Instagram post, his wife, Thembeka, gave followers a glimpse into their New Year’s Eve festivities.
The post included a video of the couple on the dance floor, with Cele, 72, donning his signature fedora hat. Beside him was Thembeka, 20 years his junior, looking radiant as they shared a joyful moment.
In the clip, Cele enthusiastically shouted, “Woza!” as he danced alongside his wife. Thembeka captioned the post: “Mood for 2025 Happy New Year.”

A Love Story for the Ages
Bheki Cele and Thembeka Ngcobo tied the knot in 2010 in a lavish wedding on the KwaZulu-Natal coast. The event was attended by notable figures, including former president Jacob Zuma and business mogul Shauwn Mkhize (then Mpisane), as reported by The Sowetan.
The couple’s significant age gap has often drawn public attention, but their enduring bond continues to captivate fans.
Life After Politics
Since leaving his role as Minister of Police, Bheki Cele has embraced retirement with vigor. In an interview with SABC, Cele dismissed rumors that he was “broke” or living in fear due to threats he received while in office.
“I’m scared of nobody, not just now but even when I was a minister,” Cele said, addressing claims of death threats and a house break-in.
“This is not a job for roses or flowers; it comes with the package of the job. Going forward, we have to be prepared for those of us in the security space, but for some of us, we are fine,” he added.
A Day in the Life of Bheki Cele
In retirement, Cele has adopted a more relaxed and health-focused lifestyle. “I wake up in the morning and go to the gym—something I’ve missed most of the time,” he shared.
However, he jokingly lamented his wife’s dietary restrictions. “My wife gives me unappetising food; she doesn’t allow me to eat scones. She gives me rabbit food,” he quipped.
Despite leaving public office, Cele remains connected to his community. “Some people still call and ask questions in other communities, and I still respond to them, but in a more relaxed manner,” he explained.
Dispelling Rumors
Addressing speculation about his financial status, Cele confidently stated that he was far from struggling. “I drive a car with good performance. I drive a Jeep 5.7l, so I’m fine,” he said, brushing off claims of financial difficulties.
Far from appearing diminished, Cele said he was “full of energy” and “feeling good and satisfied” as he embraced this new chapter of his life.
Looking Ahead
While Bheki Cele’s time in politics may be over, his presence and influence remain notable. The New Year’s celebration with his wife showcased not only his vibrant personality but also a sense of contentment with where he stands today.
As he transitions into retirement, Cele continues to engage with his community and enjoy life alongside his family. Whether on the dance floor or reflecting on his career, the former minister proves that life after politics can be just as fulfilling.
