The Christian Democratic Party welcomes the Constitutional Court ruling that the legislation disbanding the Scorpions was unconstitutional.
ACDP spokesman Richard Botha says the ruling means the ANC was wrong in its constitutional assessment and opposition parties were right.
He says the principles underlying the Scorpions should soon be restored so that corruption cases can be handled without fear of political interference.
Meanwhile the Congress of the People said it has argued that the disbandment of the Scorpions was politically motivated and that the Hawks, were not sufficiently independent to effectively conduct their constitutional responsibilities.
The Democratic Alliance said it welcomed the ruling and would study the judgement before commenting.
