South Africa's elite FBI-style Scorpions anti-crime unit will be dissolved, Safety and Security minister Charles Nqakula said on Tuesday.

"The Scorpions ... will be dissolved and the organised crime unit of the police will be phased out and a new amalgamated unit will be created," Nqakula told parliament in Cape Town.

The Scorpions are not part of the police but report to the National Prosecuting Authority which answers to South Africa's Justice Department.
