 The newly formed Federal Freedom Party says it has suspended it's president, Hein Boonzaaier and operational manager Johan Prinsloo.

This follows their arrest on charges of treason and terrorism.

The two appeared in court in Bloemfontein on Tuesday alongside Mark Trollip and Martin Keevy, for allegedly plotting an attack on the ANC's elective conference.

The state alleged that they were part of a group who planned the "Battle of Mangaung", to eliminate the country's leaders.

Their case has been postponed to the 8th of January and they remain in custody.
