SA govt: Hammerl 'is alive' - but where's the proof?
NEWSWATCH: According to the South African government, as reported in Mail & Guardian, Anton Hammerl, abducted six weeks ago, is still alive. However, family, friends and the Free Anton Hammerl Campaign want proof of that, reports Times Live. On a far happier note, Forerunners, the debut documentary feature by director Simon Wood, won the Di-kalo Jury award at this year's Cannes Pan African International Film Festival, reports Channel24.

- Mail & Guardian: Anton Hammerl still alive, says SA govt... It's rather stating the obvious to say, as the international relations and cooperation minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, is quoted as saying, that it is "very critical is to make sure the he remains safe, but also that we safely bring him back home." So what pressure is the SA government bringing to bear on the Libyan authorities to get Hammerl back home - safe and unhurt?
- Times Live: Hammerl campaign wants proof he's alive... It's entirely reasonable, however, for everyone concerned about Hammerl, to want proof that he is still alive and well. Until such proof is made available, no one can rest easy.
- Channel24: SA documentary wins Cannes praise... Congratulations to all concerned from Bizcommunity.com - so that "Cannes do" attitude paid off at Cannes, didn't it.
