National Council of Provinces chair Thandi Modise's office on Wednesday sent out a statement warning users that anything sent on social media in her name was fake.Disgruntled military veterans on Thursday night held ministers Thandi Modise and Mondli Gungubele hostage at the St George's Hotel, forcing police and security forces to intervene.
“As we were leaving the meeting, proceeding to the doors, they [the military veterans] closed the doors. It is at that point we realised we were held hostage. It is a situation which was adverted by the security forces, very effectively and successfully,” he said, adding that he hoped the “law would take its course”.
Speaking to media at the hotel, SAPS spokesperson Brig Vish Naidoo confirmed that police had “penetrated the room where the hostages were being held”, and that no shots were fired.
What a pity they let them go - SA would have been better off!
Should have kept you for a month without food.
Yhooo how easy to create bullshit.
Held hostage by veterans who have been involved in active combat at taxi ranks who threatened them with staplers. Fascinating turn of events
Eish yet here you are unfortunately
Why did they let you go?
Screenshot a pic of Mondli from this vid you lazy people. Modise has said nothing

Ford Motor Company’s R15.8bn Tshwane Automotive Special Economic Zone taking shapeFikile Majola said at least 6 000 jobs had been created so far and the number of jobs continued to grow as the project developed. Thanks Anc members are not involved on this project. So this plant/zone, that will create jobs etc, is 1000 times the cost of a football field. 333 times the cost of the City_Ekurhuleni police hub, I think the later are way over budgeted

ActionSA’s Herman Mashaba aims to bag Tshwane, Ekurhuleni, Joburg municipalitiesThe former Joburg mayor, while taking a swipe at the ruling ANC, vowed that his party would seize the three metros in the coming polls. Well Herman if it does happen then please don't forget the people that got you there... Don't think so... IEC is in charge... We're going for coalitions, and mark my words, anyone associating with the DA post elections will be heavily punished in 2024 so select wisely with coalition partners. He’s not only emotional, but has become too ambitious at the same time 🤣
