Observers are calling for an independent body to investigate the scourge of corruption in government.
Constitutional law expert Pierre de Vos says the Hawks is not the ideal body to investigate someone like Police Commissioner Bheki Cele, as the unit reports to him.
This follows Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s findings on Cele and Public Works Minister Gwen Mahlangu-Nkabinde handling of two police headquarters lease deals worth billions.
Calls have been made for a criminal investigation into who profited from the deals.
