DURBAN - A ZINKWAZI mother is living her worst nightmare as she mourns the loss of her son, who was killed in theMeryl Knox told The Mercury that her son, Adrian Nel, would have turned 41 on April 1, but instead of a celebration, she was awaiting the return of his body.

She said she tried frantically to get information. She managed to get on to a WhatsApp group in Mozambique where she got limited information and finally got a call from her husband that night to say they were safe with other expatriates at the Amarula Hotel. It was late on Friday afternoon that Knox’s husband and two sons, in a convoy of expatriates, tried to escape. However, insurgents, believed to be Islamist militants, ambushed them, killing Adrian.

Knox added: “They have to curb this problem as it is ongoing. Mozambique has had these issues since 2017. There were 100 insurgents, the army was supposed to protect people working there, that is their job.”She said Adrian was an offshore diver who had worked in facility maintenance in the Republic of the Congo before the lockdown.
