The Congress of South African Trade Union has welcomed the prison sentencing of the Boeremag five on Tuesday to between five and 30 years imprisonment for high treason. 

The bombers had five large car bombs ready for targets in the city centers of Pretoria and Johannesburg and they were also planning further bomb attacks when they were caught. 

Cosatu Spokesperson Patrick Craven said many more lives could have been lost, more seriously the whole social fabric of South Africa would have been threatened by a group which wants to go back to the dark days of apartheid. 

“Hopefully this will serve as a deterrent to anybody else who thinks that they can use force to destroy the democracy in which we establish nearly 20-years ago” Craven added.
