Family says funds needed in search for missing Chilean man
The family of a Chilean tourist who went missing while backpacking through KwaZulu-Natal has set up a crowd-funding campaign as the search for him continues.
Slavko Yaksic had been due to fly home last week, but he did not show up at the arrivals terminal in Chile.
His family later learnt that he never boarded his flight.
They last heard from him in late September, when he'd told them he'd be heading to Dundee.
Yaksic's uncle, Paul Quiroz and his brother have flown to South Africa to help with the search.
"Everybody who wants to, can pitch in financially, in order to cope with all the expenses of this situation we as a family have incurred," he said.
"It will give us more funds to spend more time in South Africa to keep on paying the investigators, mobilise ourselves and do whatever we need to do. Just the trip from Chile to South Africa is expensive."
The family has hired a private investigator to help track Jasvic down.
