- Western Cape ID leader Simon Grindrod gets into a shouting match with AMP councillor Badih Chaaban. As they are both mature politicians, cooler heads prevail… and they both lay criminal charges against each other.
- Minister in the Presidency Essop Pahad remembers that maybe he did meet with French arms company Thomson CSF prior to Thomson (now Thint) winning a large chunk of change in the multi billion dollar arms deal, although he remembers nothing about the meeting.
