Johannesburg - Four men accused of plotting to kill
President Jacob Zuma applied for bail in the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court on
Tuesday, SABC news reported.
The State argued the right wing extremists had intended
to exploit differences between the ANC and its youth league, prior to the
party's national elective conference in Mangaung in December.
At their last appearance in December, State prosecutor Shaun
Abrahams alleged the four - Mark Trollip, Johan Prinsloo, Martin Keevy and Hein
Boonzaaier - were part of a group who planned "Die Slag van Mangaung"
(The Battle of Mangaung) to eliminate the country's leaders.
The group, along with other people, had allegedly been
planning since January 2012 to establish a new right wing party, the Boere
Party, and commit acts of sabotage.
The bail application was postponed to Friday.
