In a video released on Sunday by humanitarian aid organisation Gift of the Givers, kidnapped South African Gerco van Deventer has pleaded for assistance to gain his freedom.
According to the Gift of the Givers, they are at the important week in the negotiations to release Gerco van Deventer who was kidnapped in 2017 in Libya.
Gift of the Givers negotiator Mohamed Yehia Dicko has departed for Mali in what the organisation has described as a 'final' attempt to secure the release of South African hostage Gerco van Deventer.
