Poachers, polluters, illegal developers and other environmental criminals beware: the Green Scorpions are about to be unleashed!
Environment Minister, Marthinus van Schalkwyk has announced the introduction of a special unit of environmental management inspectors (EMIs) to investigate individuals and corporates who infringe the country’s environmental laws.
The new officers will be part of a national network, including park rangers, conservation officers, marine and coastal enforcement officers and officials monitoring urban development, pollution and waste disposal. If necessary, the inspectors will involve the police force.
