Johannesburg - Two suspected South African mercenaries will hand themselves over to police in Pretoria on Monday and may spill the beans on their British recruiter who allegedly plotted a coup in Equatorial Guinea, their lawyer said.

Harry Carlse and Lourens Horn arrived home from Zimbabwe on Saturday after being acquitted by a Harare court for their alleged role in a conspiracy to topple the president of the oil-rich west African state.

Carlse and Horn were arrested on March 7 at Harare airport alongside the Briton who allegedly recruited them, Simon Mann, a former member of the elite British army Special Air Services (SAS) unit.

Asked whether Carlse and Horn would provide South African police with information on Mann, Griebenow replied: "We shall see what could be said about Mann and we shall see whether any statements will be made."

The Johannesburg-based Sunday Independent newspaper reported that the elite Scorpions investigating unit was determined to close the net on the alleged masterminds of the coup which, according to unnamed police sources, include "British investors".
