The prosecution on Friday served an indictment on the leader of the National Christian Resistance Movement, Johannes Knoesen, when he made a brief appearance at the Middelburg magistrate's court in Mpumalanga.
The indictment he was served with on Friday details charges against him.
“The attacks would have been directed against people and institutions of the SA government as well as African SA citizens and certain sectors of the émigré community,” the indictment read. As part of his planning, the accused had obtained a map of SA where he had marked areas where military bases were located. He also obtained documents relating to various military units.
The indictment states Knoesen posted a video clip on November 16 last year stating that his organisation was “really close, really close to hitting and governing this country”.
