NATIONAL NEWS - More details are expected to emerge in the next few days about which Cabinet ministers were targeted, allegedly by a 23-year-old man, who is said to be the founder of the so-called Anti-State Capture Death Squad Alliance.
The man was arrested in Midrand on Wednesday for allegedly plotting to assassinate prominent government officials .
The suspect was nabbed while he was explaining to donors how the assassination of state capture beneficiaries was going to be carried out by the undercover coup plot snipers.
Last October, the Hawks intercepted communications of possible assassinations of members of Cabinet, state-owned entities and other well-known South Africans. The communications included various letters which were sent to selected companies to donate money at a total amount of R140 million to fund the alleged clandestine operation.
The unit acted on the information and conducted undercover operations in Pretoria and Johannesburg, which led to the man's arrest.
