Missing SA photographer Anton Hammerl.
South African photographer Anton Hammerl who has been in captivity in Libya for about six weeks now, is still alive, The Star reported on Thursday.
“I think what is very critical is to make sure that he remains safe, but also that we safely bring him back home,” said International Relations and Cooperation Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane.
She said the South African government was in contact regularly with the Libyan government.
Nkoana-Mashabane would not provide details.
“We believe that in a situation of political crisis, which has reached the scale of civil war, the more details you give the media, the more you risk exposing him to danger.”
Responding to a question whether the South African government had proof Hammerl was still alive, Nkoana-Mashabane said “yes”.
Hammerl went missing on April 5 while covering a rebel uprising in the northern African country. - Sapa
