South Africa: Hawks - the Directorate for Political Witch-Hunts

press release

According to reports, embattled Head of the Hawks, Berning Ntlemeza, has assigned one lone investigator to the multibillion rand corruption scandal at the PRASA, while committing far greater resources to the politically motivated witch-hunt against Finance Minister, Pravin Gordhan.

This reflects a clear lack of political will on the part of the ANC to tackle large scale corruption with the Hawks instead being used as a political hit-squad by President Zuma and his cronies to settle their personal scores.
