Two South African military planes were reportedly spotted at Tripoli’s main airport last night, sparking speculation that Muammar Gaddafi may be preparing to flee Libya after a rule of 42-years.

International Relations and Cooperation Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane is expected to address the media today.

With rebels having taken over Green Square in Tripoli, US President Barack Obama has said Gaddafi's rule was showing signs of collapse and called on the Libyan leader to relinquish power to avoid further casualties.

Britain has also called on Gaddafi to surrender.
