Renewed Calls For Release of South African Man Kidnapped in MaliThe family of Gerco van Deventer held hostage by jihadis in Mali for more than five years have launched a fresh appeal for his release, days after a French journalist was freed. Van Deventer was kidnapped in Libya on November 3, 2017, on his way to a power plant construction site about 1,000 kilometers south of the capital, Tripoli. Three Turkish engineers taken at the same time were freed seven months later, but Van Deventer remained in captivity and was moved to Mali, according to reports.
