A South African held hostage by Al-Qaeda in Mali since 2011 has been freed, the country's foreign affairs minister said Thursday.
"Our fellow South African Stephen McGown was released on 29 July 2017," Foreign Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane told reporters.
McGown, 42, was abducted in Timbuktu in northern Mali in November 2011.
