The Department of International Relations and Co-operation said yesterday the South African embassy in Tripoli, Libya, was liaising with that country’s authorities to free a South African among four people kidnapped on Friday. “The kidnapping of the South African male citizen has been confirmed. A South African citizen based in Libya called the department on Friday to report that a fellow South African has been kidnapped in the southern desert city of Ubari, Libya, along with two Turkish nationals,” said spokesperson Nelson Kgwete. Kgwete said the kidnapped South African worked as a paramedic in Libya. “Our embassy is liaising with Libyan authorities and will attempt to get the hostages freed unharmed as soon as possible,” he added.
