Tight court security as terrorism-accused Thulsie twins appear in court
Johannesburg - THE terrorism-accused Thulsie twins have now been supplied all particulars they need to prepare for their trial, except evidence about their alleged plan to make bombs.
Arrested in 2016 during raids in Newclare and Azaadville, on the West Rand, Brandon-Lee and Tony-Lee were still attending pre-trial proceedings. Police nabbed the two after intercepting data allegedly linking them to the Islamic State, a Middle-East jihadist militant group. Affluent Jews and Jews who fight in Israel and return to South Africa were also allegedly on their radar. Cartoonist Zapiro would also allegedly be targeted for drawing cartoons that offended Muslims. The twins also allegedly planned to target an unidentified gay imam.
Barnard also informed Judge Raylene Keightley that there were plans to bring a new bail application for the twins. Bilal Bodhania, a lawyer representing the twins in the pre-trial proceedings, told the court he would not submit anything about the bail plans.
