Scorpions dissolution is crazy
Posted by Don Packett under Current Affairs on February 13 2008 at 2:04 PMSo Thabo Mbeki and the ANC created the Scorpions, announcing “a special and adequately staffed and equipped investigative unit will be established urgently, to deal with all national priority crime, including police corruption”.
Then Jacob Zuma, one who has been prone to investigation by the Scorpions, becomes ANC leader and now they’re getting dissolved.
Coincidence?
No way.
Zuma has vowed to step down from party leader if he’s convicted in his ongoing corruption case. I reckon, and I’m no expert on the matter, that he’s chicken shit of the Scorpions, ‘cos they’re the only ones who can make some headway on the case.
Stories at BBC, Reuters, M&G, Citizen and more.
Update: Just received an email for an online petition against it. Have your say here.

Zuma has no respect for the law which is painfully obvious looking at all he’s done, been accused of doing and probably everything he will do.
The dissolution of the Scorpions comes as no surprise, just sad really. They were the only bunch who seemed competent.

Mbeki is the one who doesn’t want Zuma and the scorpions are with Mbeki so they are trying to get rid of Zulu boy Zuma because it is now obvious who the next president is going to be. Mbeki has to step down just like Mugabe has to step down. these two people are friends that is why Zimbabwe and South Africa suffer so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
