  Democratic Republic of Congo President …

NINETEEN alleged Congolese rebels were charged at the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Thursday with offences related to the attempted overthrow of President Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

They were remanded in custody until February 14 after they were accused of contravening sections 2 and 3 of the Regulation of Foreign Military Assistance Act.

As the men, including a US citizen, were led away, supporters in the court brandished Congolese flags and shouted "Kabila must go" and "Down with Kabila". They said they were supporters of veteran opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi, who says he was robbed of victory in the last elections by Mr Kabila.

State prosecutor Shaun Abrahams told the court the men were all arrested in Limpopo on February 5 as they were about to begin several weeks of military training at a farm in Modimolle.

Mr Abrahams said the arrests followed a five-month undercover operation by police and the training had been disguised as preparation for game rangers recruited to stop rhino poaching in South Africa.

Magistrate Maryke de la Rey told the accused they would be held in custody for a week while their documents were verified and their legal representation was organised. Several of the men said they had been assaulted when they were arrested and needed medical attention.

S.Africa charges 19 DR Congo rebels for coup plot

A South African court on Thursday formally charged 19 Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) rebels with plotting to stage a coup in their home country.

The group is accused of preparing to receive military training to topple President Joseph Kabila and was subject to a special police sting operation.

"They intended on unseating President Kabila unconstitutionally," government prosecutor Shaun Abrahams told the Pretoria Regional Court.

Abrahams said they are members of the Union of Nationalists for the Renewal (UNR) of the DRCongo.

The would-be putschists were not asked to enter pleas and were ordered to return to court on February 14.

The case was also adjourned to allow investigators to verify their identities and for the suspects to engage lawyers.

The group was arrested Tuesday in a pre-dawn raid in a remote part of South Africa's northern and vast province of Limpopo.

South African elite police received a tip-off about the presence of the group in the country in September last year and infiltrated it.

The police "received credible information about a coup and that there were rebels in South Africa to get military assistance," said Abrahams.

An undercover state agent met a member of the group who had "confirmed that they belong to UNR and intended to overthrow the J. Kabila government."

He said they "required large quantity of arms and ammunition and specialised military training," said Abrahams.

They also promised to "pay mercenaries with mining concessions."

An exchange of emails showed a wish list of equipment and services the rebels wanted. These included satellite phones, assault rifles, missiles, radios and military training.

The training was intended to pass as anti-poaching training for game rangers.
