IOL: Crime & Courts:

"Policing in South Africa is no longer a matter just for the South African Police Service (SAPS). Since the launch in 1999 of the country's elite crime-busting unit the Scorpions, formally known as the Directorate of Special Operations (DSO), a number of other high-profile law enforcement agencies have flourished. These include equally deadly Cobras (Willie Hofmeyr's special investigating unit), the Green Scorpions (environmental management inspectorate) and the NIBs - the National Immigration Branch. We take a look at the different units including the City Police, in Cape Town fondly referred to as the Penguins."
