New crime-fighting unit dubbed the Hawks

South Africa's new Directorate for Priority Crime Investigations has been dubbed "the Hawks".

Anwa Dramat, the head of the unit, said it would focus on fighting organised crime and corruption as well as serious economic crimes.

He said 288 cases from the Scorpions -- which the new unit replaces -- would be transferred to the Hawks. Two hundred and twenty former members of the Scorpions would also be transferred to the new unit.
