Excellent news at last - he's completed the first day's 33km in Morocco's highest dunes, Erg Chebbi/Erg Znaïgui. Starting around 10:00am, he finished approx 19:40, which would be 50 minutes after sunset. 812 competitors set out and 805 crossed the finish line.
1st place: 2h 34m 05s (12.85km/h) Mohamad Ahansal
805th : 9h 39m 44s (3.42 km/h) Kobus Cilliers
Conditions at 10am start: 20°C and 36% humidity
Conditions at 1.30pm : 29°C and 24% humidity
I don't know anything else, I've not heard from Kobus at all since 10 minutes before the start, and all of this information is from http://www.darbaroud.com/. But it's fantastic to find out that he's completed day one - Well done Kobus!
Tomorrow's weather is likely to be 4°C higher than Monday's, and there's a good chance of rain again on Thursday.
