Gift of the Givers has made contact with Mali hostages’ captors | News Article

Potchefstroom - Aid organisation, Gift of the Givers, will make contact with Al Qaeda operatives tomorrow in the hope of receiving a video of two hostages being held by the group.


South African, Stephen McGown, and Swede, Johan Gustafsson, were taken hostage in Mali by Al Qaeda in November, four years ago.

Gift of the Givers’ Imtiaz Sooliman says they are making arrangements to fetch the video and are waiting for instructions on how and where to obtain it. He added that depending on the content of the video and the successful acquiring of it, his organisation may consider releasing it to the public.
