Cabinet has approved a Bill to establish the NPA’s Investigating Directorate as a permanent body

Cabinet has now approved the National Prosecuting Authority Amendment Bill. Ra’eesa Pather, Investigator at Open Secrets talks to POWER Breakfast host Thabiso Tema on what this means for the return of the Scorpions. In October 2022, when President Cyril Ramaphosa tabled his “implementation plan” in response to the Zondo Commission’s report, he announced that the National Prosecuting Authority’s Investigating Directorate (ID) would be made a permanent body with powers similar to those of the disbanded Scorpions.
