Two more Boeremag members have been found guilty of treason in the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria. They are accused number four Adriaan Van Wyk and number six Dion van der Heever. 

Judge Eben Jordaan found  Van der Heever guilty of treason less that two hours after he found accussed number four, Adriaan van Wyk, also guilty of treason. Jordaan told the court Van der Heever was an unimpressive witness who often contradicted himself.

He rejected Van der Heever's version that the meetings were innocent and held to discuss the safety of the country.

Jordaan has now found five of the 20 accused guilty of treason.  The remaining men face charges of treason, sabotage, murder and terrorism.
