Despite a torrent of opposition criticism of the African National Congress's (ANC's) decision to disband the Scorpions, members of President Thabo Mbeki's cabinet have confirmed that the elite unit will be disbanded and a new unit formed under South African Police Service (SAPS) auspices.

Change!!!!!!
People should understand that disbanding the Scorpion to form a new unit does not mean the organized crime will not be dealt with-----no!!!
I personally do not see any wrongdoing regarding this matter; People always resist changes that’s we all know. During the time of merging the universities, the very same people were making noise about all those nonsense. But look what is happening now, merging those universities never deprived anybody, it was a batter change.
i support the idea of disbanding the scorpion, as long as the organized crime will still be dealt with. I also understand that the opposition parties will disagree with that because they thought scorpion will help them to demolish the ruling party (ANC) for their interests. It does not work like that!!!!!1
We should not just resist change just because we are the opposition parties- no!!!!!
I am happy that they are disbanded. Shuffle them up and spread them around. It upsets the balance and makes it a bit more difficult for corruption and fraud within the system. (At least for a little while) This should be done in all departments regularly !!
Announcement is premature and smacks of dictatorship. Resultant opposition will cause delays and unneccessary cost as ANC has once again not followed protocol. What's the old story, only opened his mouth to change feet.
