MINISTERS ‘HELD HOSTAGE’

Defence Minister Thandi Modise, her Deputy Thabang Makwetla and Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele were held hostage by disgruntled military veterans this week when talks between the Presidential Task Team and the ex-combatants broke down and both parties could not reach an agreement. They were later released. The drama unfolded at the St George Hotel near Irene in Gauteng. Among the veterans’ demands was a meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa.
