Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>One of the infamous Boeremag members, who was found guilty of and sentenced for treason, has made a brief first appearance in the Bronkhorstspruit Magistrate’s Court on charges of rape and sexual assault.<\/p>\n

The man cannot be identified until he pleads to the charges of rape and sexual assault.<\/p>\n

Police previously said cases of rape and sexual grooming had been opened against the man, which led to his arrest on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

News24 understands that one of the complainants is 16 years old.<\/p>\n

It is alleged that the offences were committed in Kleinfontein, a culturally segregated community in Pretoria, while he was out on parole.<\/p>\n

Bail<\/b><\/p>\n

The accused’s advocate, Francois Kriel, told the court the defence would bring a bail application on 17 August, which, according to the State, will be “vehemently opposed.”<\/p>\n

It will be a schedule six bail application, which means the accused would have to prove that exceptional circumstances exist to permit his release on bail in the interest of justice.<\/p>\n

Bomb attacks<\/b><\/p>\n

The accused was part of a right-wing terrorist group that wanted to overthrow the government and destroy the new democracy in the country in 2002, which included plans to assassinate former president Nelson Mandela.<\/p>\n

The group was also responsible for a series of bomb attacks in Soweto, one of which killed a woman.<\/p>\n

News24 reported that Soweto mother Claudia Mokone was killed when a piece of steel dislodged by a bomb the Boeremag planted on a railway landed in her shack.<\/p>\n

The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria sentenced and convicted 20 members of the Boeremag between 2012 and 2013.<\/p>\n

Among those who were convicted were leaders Tom Vorster, Mike du Toit, Dirk Hanekom and Lets Pretorius.<\/p>\n
