The mother of Durban construction worker Adrian Nel, who was killed in an attack in Mozambique two weeks ago, has started a crowdfunding campaign for his wife and three children.
Nel was among a group that made a desperate attempt to flee from the Amarula Palma Hotel in Palma, hoping to make it past rebel lines.
The 17-vehicle convoy was ambushed by the insurgents and only seven vehicles made it through. Passengers in the remaining vehicles were either killed or captured.

Durban - Adrian Nel, the South African who was killed in the northern Mozambique Islamic State (IS) raid last weekend, has been hailed as a hero as he continued driving in an effort to save others despite having been shot.
He, his father Greg and brother Wesley were fleeing with others from the Amarula Palma Hotel on Friday last week after being ambushed by the insurgents.
“Adrian was a hero,” his mother, Meryl Knox, said yesterday.
“Apparently Adrian ran out of a safe place to retrieve an AK-47 that had been left behind. He then brought it back so that they at least had some sort of weapon with them, but apparently it (the weapon) didn’t work.
