These man are standing trail for plotting to Kill #JacobZuma & other senior ANC leaders. They appeared in court yesterday. The silence of Media is sickening. This is the caption of a photo posted on Facebook in South Africa on 17 July 2019 . The photo shows four men in what appears to be a courtroom. Were the men in the photo standing trial on 16 July 2019 , for plotting to kill former South African president Jacob Zuma , and other members of the ruling African National Congress ? And was the media silent about this trial? No. Widely reported 2012 assassination plot A Google image search of the photo brings up many media reports of a trial that lasted from 2013 to 2014 . The men in the photo are, from right, Johan Prinsloo, Hein Boonzaaier, Martin Keevy and Mark Trollip, according to media reports . The four were on trial for allegedly plotting to assassinate Zuma and other members of the ANC at the organisation’s 2012 Mangaung elective conference in Bloemfontein . The men in the photo were not on trial in July 2019. When they were on trial, five years ago, the media was not silent. – Africa Check
