So there was this assassination plot against President Thabo Mbeki. Members of his protection unit were involved, as were members of his diary committee, who were leaking details of his whereabouts.

And there were plans to do something to the presidential jet.

All very fishy until the Scorpions asked Eastern Cape MEC Neo Moerane-Mamase how she came by this information.

Her answer was that she was psychic, according to a report in ThisDay newspaper.
