    I find the difference between the handling of Gerrie Nel and Jackie Selebi remarkable.

    Jackie Selebi has been assured he will not be arrested. Arrangements will be made with his lawyers as to appearance dates etc. All very civil as you might expect. And in stark contrast to the Gerrie Nel arrest.

    Frankly, dropping the charges is not enough. Whoever was in charge of Gerrie Nel's arrest has some questions to answer.

    It was gangsterism in uniform.

    The Democratic Alliance intends to submit parliamentary questions to Safety and Security Minister Charles Nqakula on last week's controversial arrest of Gauteng Scorpions boss Gerrie Nel.

    Questions included:
    - What was the line of authority with regard to the arrest of Nel, and who made the decision to move against him?

    - Did the SA Police Service follow procedure by arresting an NPA prosecutor without informing the acting National Director of Public Prosecutions?

    - What decision-making role did Selebi play in the arrest of Nel?

    - How many SAPS members were present at Nel's arrest, what rank were they and what station were they from?

    - What police station was Nel taken to, and why?

    - Was there any basis to the allegation that Nel's cellphone was taken away from him and switched off, thus depriving him of access to legal representation?

    - Would Nel's docket be made available for public scrutiny, and if not, why not?
    from IOL here
    I think the question about Nel's docket being made available for public scrutiny is typical of the DA taking things a step too far. But the rest look like great questions.

    Out of the questions being asked it is clear that the DA already know the answers to it. What is also amazing is the amount of people calling for the closing of the Scorpions unit or at least that it falls under the SAPS. I have a suspicion that corruption is far deeper in the current government than all of us believe.
