A white “pastor” in South Africa was convicted of treason on Monday as part of an insidious plot to overthrow the government and kill scores of Black people by poisoning water supplies.
The so-called “pastor” was arrested in 2019 after South African authorities discovered the plot, which involved multiple cells in his movement throughout the country. The pastor was found in possession of illegal firearms and ammunition after he was arrested.
The pastor was the leader of a “Christian” organization that not only planned to use the movement to poison Black communities via water reservoirs, the group also considered using biological weapons to kill Black people. This terrorist also recruited people with the intent to carry out violent attacks against Black people.
The leader also tried to recruit former South African military members to join the movement in an effort to “reclaim South Africa for white people.”
The pastor was found guilty by Middleburg High Court of high treason, incitement to carry out violent acts and several other charges.
