Gift of the Givers says it has received a video showing proof of life of South African Gerco van Deventer, who has been held captive in Mali.
In a short statement on Sunday, the organisation said the video had been sent to its negotiator, Mohamed Yehia Dicko, who has been trying to secure Van Deventer's release. In it, a bald and long-bearded Van Deventer says:"I am requesting urgent help and assistance to facilitate and activate any action that can lead to my release.
Gift of the Givers said Van Deventer is currently in Mali and in discussion with intermediaries and important role players to influence the captors to release Gerco unconditionally.
