# A South African mechanic is among a group of about eleven people abducted in Mozambique during an attack by insurgents on a hunting lodge and the nearby town of Marangira last week. According to reports, alongside the South African, two other employees from the lodge were also among those taken, while the rest were residents from Marangira. The attack is thought to have been carried out by militants linked to the Islamic State group, which launched an insurgency in neighbouring Cabo Delgado province in 2017.
