Treason charges probed by Hawks, NPA amid AfriForum US trip
The Hawks have confirmed that the National Prosecuting Authority is investigating four cases of high treason related to the spreading false information.
Hawks boss Godfrey Lebeya, who spoke to the SABC on Monday, did not mention the organisation being probed by name.
However, he mentioned that the case involves “some individuals who may have crossed borders to spread misinformation”.
The Solidarity Movement, including AfriForum, recently sent a delegation to meet with the Trump administration in Washington
"Four dockets that have been opened by different people, maybe from different political parties, that concern some individuals that may have crossed the border to go and communicate some of the things that are perceived to be in the direction of high treason.
"I don't want to mention the names of organisation but as you correctly say there are some organisations that are suspected to be involved.
"Certain complainants have indicated that this and that organisation seems to be the ones that are actually advocating something that appear to be high treason.
Lebeya said that the NPA will decide on potential arrests.
"We are investigating, this is the initial stage of the investigation those type of crimes you need to be careful in the way in which you collect that evidence.”
