95 Libyan nationals have been taken in for questioning after a suspected military training base was discovered in White River in Mpumalanga.

Police and Home Affairs officials raided the base, which belongs to Milites Dei Security Services.

It's believed the detained men were in possession of visas that indicate they entered the country to train as security.

The men have been training at the facility since April. Senior Training Coordinator at the Institute for Security Studies, Willem Els joins us for a discussion.
