Article: Pierre Korkie negotiations trouble

Negotiations between the Gift of the Givers Foundation and Al-Qaeda militants keeping a South African man hostage in Yemen were severely strained, the foundation said on Sunday.

Poor chap.

They chose the wrong corrupted government to extort. Our guys have prefer to use our tax money for booze parties and fast cars.
Saving a white guys ass is far from the governments agenda.
