• Defence Minister Thandi Modise, defence Deputy Thabang Makwetla and Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele were held hostage by disgruntled military veterans on Thursday night.
• It emerged that talks between the Presidential Task Team and the ex-combatants broke down and both parties could not reach an agreement.
