Pretoria - The funeral of former police chief Jackie Selebi is underway at the NG Church in Moreleta Park in Pretoria.
 
Selebi died last Friday aged 64. He had reportedly suffered from diabetes and kidney problems.
 
Former Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe, ANC Deputy Secretary General Jessie Duarte and Reverend Frank Chikane are among those present at the funeral.
 
Selebi's niece, Vivian Smith, spoke glowingly of the man who raised her.
 
Selebi was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment in August 2010 for taking bribes from convicted drug dealer Glenn Agliotti. The former head of Interpol started serving his sentence in 2011 and was released on medical parole less than a year later.
