It was a crime-fighting unit born from the ashes of the disbanded Scorpions. In 2008, a fractured ANC government established the Hawks as the country’s new, elite crime-fighting unit. Tasked with investigating organised and financial crime, as well as corruption, the unit has often operated outside the public gaze. In the last 16 years, its highly specialised members have tracked down and arrested some of the country’s most wanted criminals. And now, a new book called Hunting with the Hawks lifts the veil on a unit with a surprisingly high success rate.

Can carte blanche please help students who are being robbed by colleges with their NSFAS allowance money

[@monicakieck7501]

Pity they don't investigate the Anc's illicit trade and corruption

[@dineshanpillay5944]

They can't, if they did they would be shut down

[@rowensamuel2979]

​@@dineshanpillay5944 Just like the Scorpions back in the days

[@akoamoseetave3091]

That's why they disbanded the old Scorpions

[@gumanguzman_loera]

They wet created by the anc

[@sibonakalisocele8323]

Political parties are investigated by the Public protector under the Umbrella of The NPA and SIU not the Hawks......do your Research In the US trump isnt being investigated by the FBI or CIA no....its The District Attorney office tht brings the Charges. The District Attorney is more like a Public protector here in Mzansi....

[@lightningRatPack]

Hawks should get zero praise. Not putting ANC members away or tenderpreneurs.

[@expose_massive_banking_crime]

hear hear!!

[@sharontarin1310]

Or the Guptagate.

[@mybru1]

OK so tell that to the victims of human trafficking. Victims of violent crime. If you bothered to look up the hawks stats they currently hav3 over 12 thousand open cases against the government

[@aaronrathbone6693]

They are just political pawns

[@garyschei]

Are the Hawks really worth anything at all if they won't investigate the source of all crime in RSA; the ANC?

[@mybru1]

Go tell that to the victims of human trafficking, violent crimes. The hawks head stated last year that the hawks currently have over 12 thousand open cases against the government

[@SangoMphetshwa]

Investigation should be on the ANC

[@mybru1]

Head of the hawks stated last year that the hawks currently have over 12 thousand open cases against the government

[@Ca55-WP]

I am SO impressed by how the Carte Blanche team of presenters continues to go from strength to strength. Derek will always be so sorely missed, but wow, the group of you do a fantastic job without him there. I'm sure he would just be so proud to see the work you're all doing!

[@brianbarbarich1401]

Derek should of retired long ago and enjoyed some quality time instead of carrying on working until he got old and sick then died.

[@ozzi4627]

​@@brianbarbarich1401Nobody can say when somebody should stop doing what they want or enjoy doing...weather they get paid for it or not...illness and death is for everyone at anytime!

[@warrensean1]

What an incredible story to watch, sometimes we criticise not having full knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes

[@musamabunda4564]

Did he say corruption? I haven't seen any politician being jailed for corruption.

[@mybru1]

The hawks have made over 400 arrests linked to corruption in the past year. Their head stated last year that they have over 12 thousand open cases against the government for corruption

[@sburger1146]

Bring back the Scorpions and jail the corrupt ANC leaders.

[@veronicakarstel9126]

Need Scorpions back. Independent and thats what DA will introduce asap says Glynis Breytenbach

[@Abby_KayGee]

Scorpion still exists in form of SIU

[@expose_massive_banking_crime]

Glynis is looking the other way while banking CEOs are allowed to steal whatever they like

[@expose_massive_banking_crime]

​@@Abby_KayGee 😂

[@expose_massive_banking_crime]

Glynis also looks the other way eg banks??

[@Dose600]

No organisation is truly independent

[@vigilante7616]

Ever since I started watching cart blanche recently I have been in awe Now I know who not to vote for

[@ayandasigxashe7198]

Showmax here is a true crime stories to air & educate folks out there

[@bttbsmilesun7631]

Fantastic work being done by the Hawks, for all you that are anti, remember this work needs time and dedication and the Hawks always get their man.

[@rowensamuel2979]

What about the ANC - Do the Hawks have any footage on the current Leadership South Africa 😮

[@harley1450ification]

Probably have all kinds of information about all the dirt everywhere.

[@mybru1]

Why do you think the former speaker of Parliament was arrested. The hawks head stated last year they have over 12 thousand cases against the government for corruption

[@potgieterchristiaan3886]

Magic report and very thankful to you guys for keep us oldies up to date!💋

[@reececentre6265]

WHAT ABOUT THE ANC CROOKS!?

[@velimasuku8808]

What about the crimes involving these politicians?

[@expose_massive_banking_crime]

exactly

[@adrianolszewski231]

Hawks is not allowed to touch Anc loyalists.

[@colleengreenthompson6095]

They are the untouchables 😢

[@expose_massive_banking_crime]

or any billionaires

[@ddhuz00100]

​The ANC are the real mafias and criminals. All shud be jailed and throw the keys away.😠😠

[@mybru1]

The speaker of Parliament was arrested by the hawks. The clerk of the Parliament is currently under investigation by the hawks. The head of the hawks stated last year that they have over 12 thousand open cases against the government

[@chuxch7293]

Bring back the Scopions, hawks are for anc

[@davidgreen394]

Not sure if Captain Dail still works with the Hawks or not but he is as corrupt as they come just FYI. I'll go on record and talk about it if you ever want to investigate.

[@bonesjonesrsa9452]

Anonymous whistleblower is the way to go mate. Dont let them get away with it😢

[@paulthemba9961]

Alot of crime is going on in this country even Bheki can't cope

[@expose_massive_banking_crime]

he has his hands full running the national illegal drug industry

[@pieterpompies2093]

The Hawks catch the guys that didn't pay their Saps subscriptions...

[@manyananihlwatika726]

What about Zuma and all ANC cronies? Thabo Mbeki's 🦂 🦂🦂🦂🦂🦂🦂🦂 where by far better than these Hawks

[@n0obil33]

Why are they not talking about how the scorpions were better and why they were disbanded?

[@PhillipMasemola]

There's a movie called Den of Thieves. Their heist plan was similar. Thank you guys for the great episode!

[@expose_massive_banking_crime]

this is probably based on that, for our entertainment

[@aaronrathbone6693]

The ANCs hawks .... ish

[@mybru1]

Yes anc hawks that's why the speaker of Parliament was arrested, that's why the clerk of the House is under investigation. That's the exact reason why over a 100 home affairs employees were arrested this week

[@aaronrathbone6693]

@mybru1 that's why they dismantled the scorpions .. lol you ever heard of party politics....

[@aaronrathbone6693]

@mybru1 some of us do not have the short term memory loss you seem to suffer from ... why was the Scorpions disbanded? Lol

[@aaronrathbone6693]

@mybru1 that's why all the state capture criminals were arrested by the hawks ... oh, wait, hahahaha 😆

[@irvineleroux658]

They not doing enough.

[@waynemorton5073]

There should be a special unit to investigate tenders and crime perpetuated by politicians.

[@thembibaardman538]

Scorpions were far better than them Hawks. State capture would not have been so successful had the Scorpions been what it was. Hawks are under Police ministry where the Scorps were under justice ministry. Investigators shared office space with prosecutors, and they were brilliant. ANC did not like that. A weak policing and prosecution system is beneficial to those who are corrupt.

[@samklelolatakisa1846]

Kgalema Motlante recently admitted that the Scorpions were disbanded because of their success rate as they were targeting everyone, even politicians

[@georgenaidoo9553]

Mate was so excited for the book , lol now that's a true friend

[@sammlamlijacobs1691]

Beautiful.

[@sharontarin1310]

Appointed by the ANC, loyal to the ANC.

[@OMGADZ]

Please consider leaving the X handle to the people your'll interview 🙏 Also is this guy donating a percentage of the book sales to the hawks division (more the actual men and women in the hawks), if not he should really consider that, imagine so many millions of rands being brought to justice ⚖️ and you don't benefit in any way. For those that don't agree with listening to the part of the ex Hawk member that was involved, if he had the money he would not resort to this. 🤞

[@draterlarebil4506]

The ANC cadres are royal game.

[@ddhuz00100]

And what abt Ramadolla, hiding his stash in the couch..🤷‍♀️

[@lebohangmotaung1752]

Need to get this book

[@siphudiko1309]

Im definitely getting that book

[@Stannely1]

8:28 Yerrr... That time, I like avocados 🥑 #NewFearUnlocked

[@Fl1ntsto93]

The Hawks are compromised. Otherwise our entire cabinet would be behind bars.

[@uadriaan]

Whoever did Graham's makeup on set did a stellar job..

[@warrentaylor7117]

Huh?

[@mbulelontame5049]

How does one get in touch with the hawks? How do you give a tip off!!

[@NoneNoneNonesence]

Yes the burden of proof is so much work. But then we see dismissals for lost paperwork. One particular case comes to mind Koko his arrogance, and the absolute certainty that he was untouchable. How these guys must be so disheartened - disrespected - belittled. Unfortunately they can’t advertise their work but well done to the honest guys out there - stay safe. Thanks CB.

[@mvelobhelem365]

Where is the book available?

[@tebogopercy8927]

Where can the book be bought and what is the price?

[@ginger0208]

I picked up a copy at Exclusive Books yesterday, it cost just under R300.

[@joshuagxekwa]

Where can i buy the book?

[@hendrikheyneke2630]

Just imagine if the scorpions was still around we would have a ANC coverment because all would be behind bars

[@dimphonthoele7734]

Great

[@michaelfourie7111]

Carte Blanch is now a marketing agency?

[@tshepangtlou8834]

I will only read it when they turn it into a movie.

[@wordofgodthroughtheapostle1812]

08:02 did you say the F word? 😂

[@elisaalighieri2041]

Investigate the Anc and hawks too

[@colleengreenthompson6095]

Will the hawks hunt n bring to book many other thieves😮

[@dylanjamesweggz3573]

Why doesn’t the hawks eliminate the corrupt politicians? When the Scorpions were formed Mbeki told them to start right inside government first. This country is falling apart and no one is to blame except the ANC.

[@ntandoyethumntungwa4596]

What about ANC corruption?

[@zengoreseb1352]

I hear our Namibian police firearms are been used in crimes around SA...Anti-Corruption Commission of Namibia is useless When it comes to investigations..we need something like Hawks , private and independent on it's own

[@ravindralingham7862]

Should be made into a movie,lol

[@sphesihlemusabuthelezi7157]

It’s really election season hey 😂😂😂 I thought Carte Blanche was above this

[@hcltxirzjr3707]

The Hawks will never be the Scorpions. These are small crimes that police can handle.

[@lungilephahla2358]

Jacob Zuma and Ramaphosa are still outside.😣

[@damien5859]

The Scorpions were disbanded in 2008 after they decided to investigate Jacob Zuma for corruption.

[@mondlintshangase1671]

Vote DA save South Africa 👍

[@christiaancoetzee2964]

A handy govt. tool used to look the other way when it involves politicians and those politically connected.

[@brakop254]

Turn it to a tv show

[@expose_massive_banking_crime]

like the Mike Bolhuis show scam? (also MNET)

[@nyikom7784]

And my sg

[@leonterblanche1718]

What about the real criminals?

[@tanndobaloyi3338]

rhino horns? really?

[@forplay2706]

What an advert 😅

[@nyikom7784]

After here it will be in law for my President

[@DwnPaymnt]

Someone turn this book int a movie, i'm not much of a reader.

[@vuvufuzzy2594]

The police people have one foot one right side and the other foot on the bad side, this is such a shame

[@MpumiZembe]

Mxm🙄 really....seems like small crimes to me...1 big crime and 40 petty crimes that can be handled by Jabulani police station....🦂 the best unit ever

[@bobby.vkarabo5823]

Just because it has to do with money,and that money is not chowed by politicians and SARS is not benefiting...that's why it's a big crime...mxm this country is a joke shem

[@Mothercityguy]

Investigate cape towns n1 heist this week where guns were stolen from saps and a casper rammed over
