FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The police said on Sunday that the suspect was detained in Cape Town, DPA reported.
On Tuesday, 19 people were arrested in connection with coup plotting in Limpopo province in the north of South Africa.
“We cannot release the name of the suspect, but I can say suspect number 20 in the DRC coup plot has been arrested in Cape Town,” Paul Ramaloko, the spokesman for the elite Hawks police unit said.
“He was one of the main players in the plot, in organizing the coup attempt,” Ramaloko added.
The suspect is scheduled to appear in a court in Pretoria early next week.
The 20 suspects are believed to belong to a group called Union des Nationaliste pour le Renouveau (Union of Nationalists for Renewal).
In a statement published on Tuesday, the Congolese national prosecution authority said the objective of the 19 people arrested “was to receive specialized military related training to overthrow the current government, under the leadership of President Joseph Kabila,”
Congolese government spokesman Lambert Mende noted that the country’s authorities had “known for a long time that there have been activities outside the country.”
President Kabila was reelected in November 2011 in a vote described by international observers as “lacking credibility.”
DRC is already trying to contain rebels from the March 23 movement, which has been fighting the country’s army in North Kivu province since May.
The M23 rebels seized the eastern city of Goma on November 20 after UN peacekeepers gave up the battle for the frontier city, which is home to about one million people. The rebels withdrew from the city on December 1 under a ceasefire accord.
The M23 rebels defected from the Congolese army in April 2012 in protest over alleged mistreatment in the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC). They had previously been integrated into the Congolese army under a peace deal signed in 2009.
Since early May 2012, nearly 3 million people have fled their homes in the eastern Congo. About 2.4 million have resettled in Congo, but more than 460,000 have crossed into neighboring Rwanda and Uganda.
Congo has faced numerous problems over the past few decades, such as grinding poverty, crumbling infrastructure, and a war in the east of the country that has dragged on since 1998 and left over 5.5 million people dead.
