New ANC leaders need to look down

DO POLITICIANS have rights that others do not have? Or do they only notice when their rights are threatened? These questions are raised by the new African National Congress (ANC) leadership’s assault on the Scorpions.

The new leaders’ hurry to get rid of the Scorpions is usually seen as a sign that they are protecting themselves. But, since only a few are under investigation, many ANC leaders seem to want the investigative unit to go because they see it as a bully and a rights abuser.
