Defence minister Thandi Modise was reportedly prevented from leaving a meeting with disgruntled military veterans on Thursday night, effectively being held hostage. File photo.South Africans have taken to social media and gathered around the water cooler to debate what action should be taken against those who held defence minister Thandi Modise, her deputy Thabang Makwetla and minister in the presidency Mondli Gungubele “hostage”.
Gungubele said the meeting broke down when consensus couldn't be reached, and a decision was taken to adjourn. SAPS spokesperson Brig Vish Naidoo confirmed that the police “penetrated the room where the hostages were being held” and that no shots were fired.
Slap on the wrist, like the looters
They should be treated no differently to any other citizen who attempts to or holds anyone against their will.
Two wrongs don't make a right, ,as South Africans we need to learn this as South Africans ,let's go vote them out
No force or weaponry was used, the ministers where just scared to leave because they saw that they messed up badly and their confli6was fact based, so according to me they've done nothing wrong
Absolutely YES!
The ANC have promised the veterans alot of things during integration....now they're just posting one side of the story...There is a video of a Medic Captain speaking out about this bs...Give people they're money and ranks that you took away anc government..2 sides to the story!
They should be punished for failing to do a proper job.
Its Family Matters. Let the elders sought it out. They are ANC first before they are government anycase.
Fix your English
Slap on the wrist as always.
Slap on the wrist... Those are heroes. Ordinary South Africans should also do the same when they demand service delivery & employment from the government
Yes, however they should do away with this self-entitlement mentality. When they escaped to neighboring countries most of us faced the enemy head-on in our small ways, harassed by the apartheid special branch day and night, but none of us is demanding millions for freeing mzantsi
Slap on the wrist
Execution
If the Minister had properly addressed their issues, this situation would not have arisen
Definitely a Slap on the wrist. That is standard practice for all its members. No one gets arrested or goes to jail in this organization 😂🤣😂🤣
Theatrics
Atleast life sentence ,if they manage to call president and when he come they arrest him and order him to step aside and minister of defence,her deputy and minister in the presidency were enough to make wait of witness of handing over power
This is a serious offence cause they can still from there order the minister of defence to give order to generals to take government by force
When trillions go missing no one is held to account so when the ones who been stealing the trillions go missing the same should apply. We're they tied up and held at gun or knife point? Was a ransom sought?
Old age government, Thandi should be resting at home and taking care of her pigs.
Ths ppl know what they owe each other, what they have promised each other for years so no punishment expected!
Yes
The question should be based around the fact that they had access to hold the minister hostage and why did that incident take place at first?
Eish 🤔, how old are the veterans?
High treason ! You don't hold a Defence Minister hostage thus jeopardising the security of the whole state ! But as we know, this case will be postponed forever until we all forget about it !
All about precedents and boundaries!
You asking KAK questions ne
Maybe the same ministers must realise what they have created in those people by recruiting them into their military wing & later left them to death by hunger once they no longer need them.
Those are comrades nothing more
It is an afterthought question, by yesterday PresidencyZA was suppose to issue a red alert for those to be arrested. Few days ago we were told dat some foreign study says de hawks is weak. Yesterday proved dat we don't hav NIA anymore we hav loyalist in de security cluater.
Star jumps, naked at the Union buildings lawn. For 72 hours. It should be filmed.
They must face the law,They committed a crime,We are not a banana republic
Arrest them they embarrassed ojr country
Let those People go home. South Africa likes to dramatize everything this nowadays.
How can we trust this minister with the safety of our citizens and country.
56 of them....
Free cos this is just a joke
What kind of English is this. Why don't you write in your mother language Admin?
Slap on the wrist,
Ons 🙈🙊🙉🐒 by MyANC sien en voel Fokol vir julle. VoetsekANC
They must fulfill their promises and stop arresting innocent ppl..
