Just saw this on www.sagoodnews.co.za:

Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa officially launched the Scorpions replacement, to be known as the Hawks, at a function in Midrand on Monday.

Followed by...

Mthethwa said almost all the investigators from the Scorpions (the Directorate of Special Operations) moved over to the new unit.

Can they investigate corrupt government officials? Who knows but I'm still confident that they'll do the country good in terms of bringing down drug and theft syndicates.
