Hugh Glenister

Lawlessness moves like a cancer through the constitutional body of South Africa.

Police smashed their way into Hugh Glenister’s house after a drug "tip-off" from crime intelligence.

The Constitutional Court has agreed that the legislation governing the Hawks does not provide adequate independence for the corruption-busting unit.

The battle to ensure the separation of the Hawks from the police, in a case stemming from 2008, continues in the Constitutional Court on Tuesday.

The high court in Cape Town has told Parliament to fix sections of the SAPS Amendment Act, again.

The Hawks have uncovered another secret police bank account linked to Richard Mdluli, through which "vast sums" were allegedly illegally siphoned.

Anti-corruption unit, the Hawks, should be free of political meddling, says Hugh Glenister at the public hearings on the police Bill in Parliament.

Businessman Hugh Glenister has slammed the SAPS Amendment Bill, saying it was inadequate and will not protect the Hawks from political interference.

Justice Minister Jeff Radebe has been unable to explain the specific challenges to South Africans that necessitate a new assessment of the judiciary.

Government is studying the Constitutional Court judgement on the independence of the Hawks, Jimmy Manyi said on Thursday.

Hawks ‘insufficiently insulated from political interference’, says Concourt

The Hawks will continue their corruption fight while rectifying legislation in line with a ruling they were vulnerable to political interference.

A section of the legislation that paved the way for the disbanding of the Scorpions and the creation of the Hawks was on Thursday declared invalid.

The Constitutional Court has reserved judgement in the case of businessman Hugh Glenister, who was challenging the disbanding of the Scorpions.

Businessman Hugh Glenister’s latest bid to save the Scorpions has been rejected by a full bench of the Cape High Court.
