This is 3rd hand heresay, so treat it as such, but my mother is in cape town waiting for a nationwide flight back to Jo'burg. She has just texted me. Apparently some from her tour group were on the affected flight.
My mums words are that aircraft landed back after approx 1 hour. Passengers are all in counseling at the moment, airport is closed. I texted back to ask what the problem was, her reply was "Serious, Engine fell off!".

Sounds like top marks to the crew for bringing it back in one piece. Well done guys (or gals)
