Public hearings into whether the Scorpions should remain with the National Prosecuting Authority or become part of the South African Police Service (SAPS) will start on Monday as scheduled, the South African Broadcasting Corporation reported on Saturday.
The hearings will be open to the public.
Fears mounted last week that the Khampepe Commission of Inquiry’s work may be delayed, following requests that the hearings be held in a closed court.
The commission’s presiding Judge, Sisi Khampepe, said on Saturday that she will use her discretion to determine whether any parts of the proceedings should be held in camera, including the submission of the SAPS.
Police want the Scorpions to come under their wing. — Sapa
