"description": "Scorpio is the investigative unit of Daily Maverick. It was launched in May 2017 with the aim of carrying out in-depth investigations into corruption, malfeasance, and other wrongdoing in South Africa.\r\n\r\nScorpio will often collaborate with others in the media, including amaBhungane. In a country that desperately needs ten more amaBhunganes, we do not think of each other as competition but rather as like-minded allies with a common goal and different setup.",
