South Africa's alleged conspirator formally charged

A man who investigators in South Africa suspect is behind an elaborate assassination plot allegedly targeting cabinet ministers and possibly President Zuma, has appeared in court in Johannesburg.
Elvis Ramosebudi, 32, appeared briefly to be formally charged with conspiring to murder, in a case which has drawn much speculation.
The state is basing its case on an investigation by the elite crime fighting unit - the Hawks - which claims the suspect was intercepted as he tried to raise donations for his plot.
Mr Ramosebudi appeared calm under the glare of media spotlight in court as the charge was read out to him.
But the prosecution has raised concerns about the 32 year old's state of mind and says it might request a psychiatric evaluation.
The case has captured the imagination of some South Africans at a time when the police and intelligence services have been accused of becoming involved in political point scoring as President Zuma fends off calls by critics for him to resign.
