Suspected right-wingers back in court for bail


 Four suspected right-wingers accused of an alleged assassination plot on president Jacob Zuma and other top leaders, will appear in the Bloemfontein Regional court on Tuesday for a formal bail application.

Mark Trollip, Martin Keevy, Johan Prinsloo and Hein Boonzaaier are accused of planning an attack on Zuma, his deputy Kgalema Motlanthe and other senior ANC officials during the ANC's elective conference in Bloemfontein last year.

The four accused face a charge of high treason and two charges related to the terrorism act.

The plot was allegedly planned to coincide with the anniversary of the Battle of Blood River on Sunday December 16.

Boonzaaier and Prinsloo are both senior members of the newly established Federale Vryheids Party.

Prinsloo also holds senior positions in a number of other right wing organisations.
