The Congress of South African Trade Unions has kept their stance with regards to the Scorpions after the Khampepe report was made public yesterday.
According to COSATU spokesperson Patrick Craven they believe that the Scorpions should be incorporated into the South African Police Service.
In a statement released by COSATU in November 2006 they said that the Scorpions together with the National Prosecuting Authority are showing contempt to legal processes and court orders. It elaborated that as an agency it’s not showing respect or cannot be trusted to defend the law.
Craven says that COSATU repeats their call for “a speedy end to the elective prosecutions of choice which have been the sole contribution of the regrettable Scorpion experiment, and welcomes the decision of the ANC National Conference, and now the government, to dissolve the Scorpions into the SAPS,” he says.
The trade union federation said they will study the Khampepe Commission Report on the Scorpions and will refer it to their legal experts so that they may give a detailed report on it.
