Thank you very much, hon Chairperson. The so-called success of the Scorpions in doing their work, especially crime-fighting, is undocumented and unknown. It can only be ascertained by certain individuals.
We also looked into how they used their own funds in order to fight crime. The record, as stipulated by the Office of the Auditor-General, contains a litany of errors. For a directorate, at that level, not to be able to account for funds in excess of R1 million! The Office of the Auditor- General states that it's only a preliminary figure of R1 million - on completion of that investigation that amount can be even higher.
