Egypt Releases SA Charity Worker

The South African Department of Foreign Affairs has announced the release of Dr Feroz Abukaker Ganchi, a South African charity aid worker who was detained by the Egyptian authorities.

Department spokesperson, Ronnie Mamoepa, says the release follows a series of consultations between the South African government and the government of Egypt.

Ganchi, a medical practitioner at an Upington hospital, was en-route to Gaza along with a humanitarian expedition when Egyptian authorities took him in for questioning last Friday.
