The South African presidency has confirmed that President Cyril Ramaphosa has met the family of slain South African-born Captain Daniel Perez after government intervention secured the release of his remains from Hamas.
Perez, who was born in South Africa, was taken hostage and killed during the October 7, 2023, attacks in Israel.
Born in Johannesburg, Perez grew up in Glenhazel, where his father served as a community rabbi, before the family moved to Israel in 2014.
Ramaphosa’s spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya, said the president expressed his sympathies to the Perez family.
