Hawks -> Corruption – ONAFHANKLIK
Dis eenvoudig: Misdaad is ‘n ekstra inkomste, nie net vir regering nie, maar instansies, maatskappye en burgers sien hul kom weg met korrupsie en doen dit eenvoudig weer. Korrupsie vier nog altyd hoogty in Suid-Afrika en is soos ‘n siekte wat wyer uitkring – wat beslis waar is. Daar word altyd gevra dat die publiek enige korrupsie of misdaad rapporteer, maar indien dit gebeur, wat gebeur dan met daardie persone? Die wat die misdaad pleeg word nie fisies werklik ondersoek nie of selde vervolg. Skuldiges word soms van een maatskappy na ‘n ander een “verplaas”. Wat dus gedoen word , name van korrupsie eenhede wat ondersoeke doen word verander en dan “verdwyn” inligting in ‘n bodemlose put weens “tydsverloop” of inligting wat wegraak. Hande en koffers beskerm mekaar al sedert 1994 op alle vlakke van regering en ook in privaat sektor. Die “wil” om die korrupsie totaal uit te roei , bestaan glad nie in ons hele land nie. Dit vernietig ons as volk, want baie kom al etlike jare uit ons belastingbydraers se sakke uit. Waar bestaan daar ‘n “onafhanklike regsbank” of selfs vervolgings, sommige vervolgings het dubbel reëls wat toegepas word. Ons het ook menseregte, maar alles word vernietig !! Selfbeskikking (onafhanklikheid) is al uitweg.

Corruption 2012 (Moneyweb)
A disease of the system that needs to be stamped out. This is how minister of finance Pravin Gordhan described corruption in South Africa at the recent Discovery Invest Leadership Summit. The Scorpions were established in 2002 while a lot of successes were achieved through this unit that was housed under the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
It was under the Directorate of Special Investigations (DSO or Scorpions as it was known), that a number of high profile investigations and cases illustrated how crucial the unit was.
The unit had a conviction rate of between 82% and 94%. During 2002 there were 66 people arrested and during 2006 more – 617. In 2002 180 prosecutions were finalised. In 2006 this was 214.
Francois Nortje has been struggling to get a case of possible corruption investigated since reporting it back in 2005. He said there was finally some progress made back in 2008 with the Scorpions and then he was told the case was being transferred to the new Directorate for Priority Crime. Since then he has been struggling, with legal help, to find out whether the case is being investigated. No one has contacted him for a statement on the matter. Nortje says he has been trying to do what Gordhan suggests, but that it is a struggle.
The case he wants investigated includes the same players that were highlighted in newspaper articles earlier this year around Manaka Property Investments.
Manaka is a property company co-owned by among others Parliament’s finance portfolio head, Thaba Mufamadi and has as a director former Limpopo Tender Board chairperson, Jannie Moolman. The company leases property to government departments and has gained the attention of Parliament’s ethics watchdog.
Dianne Kohler Barnard, shadow minister of police for the DA, told Moneyweb that the Hawks would never be independent as it falls under the wrong structure. She said that there have been cases where a commercial crime has a link to a politician and the case just drags on forever. She also says that the Scorpions were very efficient and that the Hawks is not matching these standards.
