Bloemfontein – The case against one of the men accused of plotting to assassinate ANC leaders in Mangaung was postponed in the Bloemfontein Regional Court on Monday.

The matter was heard in chambers because the psychiatric evaluation of Martin Keevy, 47, at the Free State Psychiatric Complex had not yet been completed. Keevy was sent to the complex for a 30-day evaluation about a month ago.

The matter was postponed to July 2.

Keevy, Hein Boonzaaier, 50, Johan Prinsloo, 49 and Mark Trollip, 49, were arrested on December 16.

They are accused of planning to kill African National Congress leaders by detonating a bomb at the party’s national elective conference in Mangaung.

Magistrate Mziwonke Hinxa denied Keevy, Trollip, and Prinsloo bail in January. Boonzaaier was granted R80 000 bail.

Trollip, Prinsloo, and Boonzaaier were expected to appear in court again in August. – Sapa
