BRITISH and American intelligence agencies were the “masters” of the Scorpions, a public hearing into their dissolution heard yesterday.
Sam Kikine, who heads the International Traditional and Medicine Research Council, accused Britain’s MI5 and the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of controlling the elite crime fighting unit.
“Why have the Scorpions not investigated (chemical warfare expert) Wouter Basson and the CIA, who have created this Aids? The Scorpions are working for MI5 and the CIA and not for South Africa,” he told the hearing at the Umlazi Indoor Sports Complex in Durban.

Maputo - A Mozambican woman recently gave birth to three cups in the southern province of Gaza, independent television channel Stv
reported on Thursday, showing images of the crockery.

The channel said the 18-year-old woman who lives in Xai Xai, gave birth to the cups on her way to hospital after she had complained of labour pains.

Images of the three cups were shown on the television station and the woman said she was three months pregnant at the time of the "birth".


The Mozambican association of traditional healers (Ametramo) told the station that there was nothing strange about the story.

Ametramo president Aulerio Demoraz said similar cases had occurred in other parts of the world due to witchcraft.

He said the woman needed to be treated with traditional medicines in order to exorcise the "evil spirits" which made her give birth to the cups.
