About 800 recruits, including former Scorpions members, are being vetted for security clearance to form the core of the new organised crime-fighting unit, the Directorate of Priority Crime Investigations.
Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa is scheduled to announce the head of the new unit in Cape Town today.
A daily newspaper reported that the DPCI's formal launch will be on the 1st of July.
The unit will replace the Scorpions; formally known as the Directorate of Special Operations and unlike the Scorpions will fall under the police's command.
Asset Forfeiture Unit head and Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Willie Hofmeyr has been suggested as a favourite to head the new unit.
