The DA will be tabling a constitutional amendment for the establishment of the Scorpions 2.0 – a Chapter 9 anti-corruption body to work independently of the executive and without the threat of disbandment by parliament. We strongly believe that this institution must be set up on the basis of establishing a new Chapter 9 Institution to fortify such an entity against political manipulation, by this government or even a future government. This will prevent politicians from disbanding it when it does its work, like we have seen with the Scorpions, which was abolished by a simple majority vote in Parliament.


If this entity is positioned in Chapter 9 of the Constitution and identified as being critical to the rule of law in our country, it will require the support of at least 75% of Members of Parliament to be disbanded should it be deemed central to the rule of law.
****ing beautiful. DA is tabling a Bill to bring back the Scorpions as a Chapter 9 institution.

Something I wonder about is will ANC and/or EFF back this...? Or if they'll just whip out reasonable explanations?

Will it be staffed with morons like the public protector?
 
His only mission is to avoid jail till he is dead. That is a win for him.

I'd say its largely a loss for him, since it cuts off one his Stalingrad options (or is at least one step closer to cutting it off)
