A South African court has granted bail to tElvis Ramosebudi, the man charged with conspiracy to assassinate top politicians including President Jacob Zuma in an apparent bid to enforce a change of government.
Elvis had approached private companies to fund his plot before he was arrested on April 26. The reason for this can be linked to the calls that have mounted in recent months for Zuma — mired in corruption scandals — to step down, and on Friday three former presidents made an unprecedented joint call for dialogue to end the country’s political crisis.
The killings were to be carried out by snipers.
State advocate Johan Badenhorst told the court that it was “concerning” that the man had driven from his home in Soshanguve township, outside the capital Pretoria, to Johannesburg to meet with possible funders.
“It is clear that he is very motivated in what he wants to do,” said Badenhorst.
Ramosebudi’s lawyer told the court that he intended to plead not guilty to the charge of incitement to commit murder when the case resumes.
