The reports that the two South Africans held by rebels in Nigeria have been released are false. This follows reports by the foreign affairs spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa saying that they have not gotten any confirmation from the South African High commissioner to Nigeria about the release of the two South Africans.
Dan Laarman and Robbie Barry have not been released.Mamoepa said that the South African High commissioner has denied rumours linked in the media that the two South Africans have been released from the Niger delta.
But he said that the High commissioner from South Africa to Nigeria Sticks Sifingo says he remained optimistic about the release of the two South African and that he hopes that they would be released sooner rather than later.
He added that they will continue to work hand in hand with the Nigerian government until the two South Africans are released.
