In 2013, Daniel Janse van Rensburg was illegally detained for more than 400 days in one of Equatorial Guinea’s worst prisons. Notorious for the brutalisation and neglect of prisoners, inmates at Black Beach are denied visiting rights and medical treatment. After eventually being released and returning to South Africa, Daniel sued the country’s vice president, Teodorin Obiang, the man he believes had him incarcerated at Black Beach. In 2021, the Western Cape High Court awarded him R39 million for his losses and suffering and illegal incarceration and ordered the attachment of Obiang’s assets. Then, on the 9th of February this year, two days after a super yacht belonging to Obiang was seized in Cape Town, two South African citizens were detained in Equatorial Guinea and sent to Black Beach. Coincidence or a perverse act of revenge?

welcome to africa.. where you are bound to get trapped.
Carte Blanche gives us news that we would never know of. Compliments to the entire team.
This is why Africa is poor. The leaders are selfish and corrupt. Imagine if the ministers' wealth could be distributed among the population. Poverty will end instantly.
What happened to these men is extremely wrong however it does not give you the right to make blanket statements about Africa and it’s people. If it’s so bad here than go back home
Wow! Did this fact strike a nerve. You must be a beneficiary then.
What you say is 100% correct. As soon as these people get any form of power they just can't seem to get enough!
This mentality goes way back to the days of slavery and beyond, they would sell their own people as slaves just to get that feeling of power.
They are selfish, corrupt, inhumane, greedy, unethical, have zero conscious, are tone deaf, think of themselves and their families only, GREEDY, gluttonous, don't care...I can go on and on and on!!
@@gabenza854 your can't be serious your comment is rude and ignorant
South Africans should march to Equatorial Guinea embessy and close in down to demand the return of the South Africans
Absolutely
I think we should rather loot the embassy
@@just_juice Won't find much I'm afraid they are worse off than our municipalities.
We have many problems
We don't have facts, we can't just close embassies, we don't have facts,
The corruption in Africa is sickening
Why has this story not gotten the medi media attention it deserves?
Because the anc has a finger in this . Why let that ship go very strange .like this Russian ship that this corrupt goverment gave our military arms to . Makes one think .
It's entrenched in our politics sadly to make it a race thing when journalists search for accountability. :/.
because there white...silly question .
The black zulu guy killed by American police didn't gain Media traction.... not even carte blanche looked into it... so idk what the comments keep talkin about.
Good story, but why is the South African Government not doing more to help its citizens?? I hope Carte Blanche will follow up on this broadcast! great job!
Because they are white, period, criminals can be brought back with private jets
They are WHITE . . . assistance is reserved for OUR PEOPLE
@@joesoap1727 what does that mean? Are they not South Africans???
Racism
Wrong skin color and a racist government.
Greed is destroying the poorest of people on this African continent
The poorest and the hard working who earn a honest salary
And they do it wih such pride.. Shocking..
@@arlenespencer3861 True.. we can make examples of such individuals right here in South Africa
Just too much to comprehend our Earths inhabitants are full of greed for all their family & friends.😢. Pray for all of them to change , the USA must intervene.
Their own people will soon attack them
South African government is hopeless
Absolutely shocking, our government MUST get involved and ensure justice for its citizens abroad! It is incomprehensible that leaders get away with such deeds in this day and age. May these two men be comforted by God through all of this 🙏
its because thy are white, Government will not help them
Maybe they are guilty...oh sorry i forgot they are white so they re holy..
@@BakangSerame I was thinking the same thing
I wish we had a government that will protect and care for his citizens.
Praying they come back home safe 😢❤ May everyone stay strong ❤
When people say colonisation is Africa’s problem - no, your own leaders are.
That's the reality, African leaders will trample their own people instead of uplifting them. Their own worst enemies and then conveniently use the white man as a scapegoat
Both are. You can never underestimate the effect of centuries of European influence on Africa through slavery and colonisation. Our leaders have just continued the inhumane practices Africans have suffered since slavery. Which is really sad.
Thats true but many of the dictator are protected by Western countries
@@riquieg well said!
White People
The bible is so clear that the love of money is evil. I pray for the deliverance of our fellow people 🙏 ❤ citizens of South Africa 🇿🇦
Would be nice to get a follow up to this and other stories in +6 months...
I hope it does not take another 6 months to release them
Please keep us updated
Send SANDF and the special force because Equatorial Guinea has declared war against South Africa
Sadly, South Africa would likely be defeated.
I'm ready to go make the world better if you know what I mean. Please send a name or contact if you know of anyone
Thats the only solution. This oil rich arrogant people think they can mess with anyone. SA should cut diplomatic ties with this backward dictatorship
It took ages for government to send the army to KZN. Sending it for two people - i hope it works out
Using a cannon to swat a mosquito
Stay strong both the guys n thr families our prays go pit to u #zambia
I'm praying.
Send one of our gov ministers they won't be missed
Totally..all of them in fact
Totally..all of them in fact
this is heartbreaking, praying for a safe and swift return
Why are we only hearing about this now...
My advice would be for any South African working in the region to quit their job… ASAP…
Ramaphosa.. do something !!!! If he was a “ Nelson Mandela”… this would not be happening!!
Thank you. Excellently done.
Sending comfort and prayers to the family...
May consciousness soften the hearts of the authorities in charge so that these two gentlemen can come back home to their families.
This continent is cursed
Very much so.
No its not cursed but it has been corrupted too much by west and now it's like a culture in Africa to be corrupt but we always forget that it was started by the west
One very candid perspective on why Africa continues to suffer.... Bad, corrupt and wicked leaders.
This is heartbreaking - what benefit do they even get by jailing these men? If only SA government was functional - maybe something would be done to help
Just shows the depth of their evil...
Hire mercenaries to go to that hell hole and rescue those innocent men
I hope the best outcome for this family . They should really do there best to seek help. I am not sure how the South African government will assist
They have declared war against SA,we cant let this stand.Let our people go.
Lol
They need our prayers.
National TV should have a crime channel 24/7 reporting on every single crime in SA with photos of the criminals and surveillance videos where available as the police cannot solve these crminal cases and perhaps communities will recognize the perpetrators; very few cases get prosecuted and criminals send to jail as most of the time the police have made a mess of the crime scene; dockets missing; bribes being paid etc.
Oil and gas wealth has been a curse more than a blessing for people wherever it's been found. Around the world. Always has some level of negative impact on domestic politics. Always increases corruption. Always leads to some level of increased despotism. Always. Everywhere. There are always some people who love the oil and gas money more than their fellow man or woman.
Please Lord,save these men.... Mr President,pls do something 🙏
Evil thrive when good men do nothing. That includes the SA Government which has a responsibility toward its citizens.
And those men are taxpayers. Their work outside SA is "worldwide income" taxed in SA. They're citizens - taxpaying citizens!! In a country with >60% youth unemployment... these men are valuable to SARS. The government should definitely start speaking to the public about what they plan to do. I also agree on the comments of employer's responsibility. They're making a profit from their employees being there. They need to do more. Visiting them, regardless how challenging that was, is still not enough. WHEN they get back those men should make MASSIVE deductions off their tax for damages, trauma, etc. OR they should sue SA (can they do that)
Definitely should sue EG.
Brilliant Carte Blanche
The South African government should help get their citizens out of international peril like other countries do. If they were guilty, other countries try to get their sentence back home, and if they are innocent, they should come home scot-free. The govt should appeal for their citizens, its not a race thing but a humanitarian thing.
The SA government is too busy stealing everything from the people to be able to do one damn useful thing
hope url are returned home safely ...b safe n keep praying n b strong
Greed/ corruption is why this continent of Africa will just not flourish 😢
I pray they a released from prison. South African govt should be negotiating their release or the case referred to the UN. Iddi Amin and Mugabe thought they were untouchable but fate has a right day for each man
Please keep us posted on this story. We hope akd prey for their safe return to SA
Please keep on to tell the true story, for making our world better!
That's why Naledi Pandor is a useless Minister. She should be fighting for these guys.
This is despicable! But in that same breath…this is what some of us go through. I hope they get free soon.
We should support others attain true democracy so the continent can actually reach its true potential.
How can criminals that have non democratic institutions be allowed to own properties in South Africa ? For us ordinary PPL any criminal record prevents us from being able to own immovable assets in a host country we emigrated to.
no surprises there
I hope and pray for their release. The SA government needs to intervene.
Everyone - the companies they worked for - working to get that oil out the ground should shut until those men are freed. Such corruption will only cease when enough people band together
Lol.....whyte drug dealers....they thought because they are whyte they would get away wit it...
Very heartbreaking
Please go and Rescue these South Africans.
South African government is supposed to investigate and protect its citizens who are carrying a South African passport. Corruption is Africas downfall. This continent could be the super power of the world but its leaders let it down.
Gerrie Nel & Afriforum, these men need you. Please find a way to get them home! Mike Bolhuis, wat kan ons doen om die manne terug te kry??
Masa Kekana is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Nobody else could make me forget Taylor Swift.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Very weird thing to say
What does this have to do with anything 🤦🤦
I say what I want . I don't justify myself to strangers.
Respect please
I've never seen a more clear cut case of a setup before. We have the ability to get these guys out we have much more global political power than they do and a much better military as mucha s we all like to clown on the sa military it is still a powerful force.
Why dont we have a task force to go fetch our citizens incarcerated in other countries. They went to fetch that low life thabo bester guy in a private jet... they should send a team to retrieve our people who are victims of crime too
To retrieve Criminals????
@he said Victims
It would be The Recces not task force they are policeman not special forces
"I'm going to Australia" goes terribly wrong, S. Africa remains one of the best countries, I'M STAYING
Firstly South African citzens know what is like working in African countries (mostly unsafe) why go work there .
Secondly the South African government must get involved and protect it's citzens Thirdly when foreign people get arrested in African countries it's often to prove some unhealthy practice based on revenges , corruption or both .
By the grace of God wish the 2 gentlemen be released realy soon and that their families be strong .
The South African government has a duty and obligation to its citizens to investigate the allegations and intervene diplomatically with the Equatorial Guinea's government and its judicial representatives. This is nothing more than extortion at state level. Pressure must be brought on the international companies that held contracts with these employees now jailed for obvious tit-for-tat circumstances. The companies have a duty and obligation to protect their employees from extortion and maul-justice. This outcome is no coincidence. The other contractor that was released having had a South African Court rule in his favour, having not as yet received compensation for illegal imprisonment speaks volumes.
Where is our International Affairs department, the Embassy?
Great story. Please can I have the contact details for Errol Alston. Or how can i get in touch with him?
... she says: 'Equatorial Guinea is the only country in the world where the president encourages his ministers and family members to benefit from the countries resources'.
th-cam.com/video/-t-GKG2dJyo/w-d-xo.html
Is this presenter livining on another planet or in South Africa where every president since 1994 has encouraged and done and IS DOING the same thing?!?!
You certainly slipped up here Carte Blanche.
No Carte Blanch has been covering it go check let them eat pap and lost legacies
South Africa has some of the most skilled special forces in the world, why is it that can not be dispatched to rescue these people?
Masa is actually God, she is actually fearless and is in the league of Deborah and Devi for sure
There is a burning hell for a reason. Good luck to those evil people.
Carte Blanche brings this to our attention but in their guidelines to comments they expect people not to vent their anger in comment form.
If you are relying on DIRCO to do anything, don't hold you breath.
One wonders how far away we are from this in South Africa...
Lol, take it from someone who has been traveling abroad since the 1980s, the 94 government will do nothing to help these people, and you can bet those apologists sitting at DIRCO couldn't care less about them. They are still enraged that these men were able to find work and earn money in dollars outside of South Africa. The South African government thrives on envy; they do not want South Africans to achieve success in the world without their political support. These people would be better off appealing to the United States government, which is more effective in these matters; never expect the South African government to assist you in these situations; instead, accept that you are on your own. You're saying that a government that can't help its own people in its own country survive an energy crisis will help two people?

Any update on their release???
Sad stories indeed take five Carte blanche i dont know how you get this interesting news😊
This vice president of Equitorial Guinea will face justice one day. This will all end. It came to an end for others when they least expected it
Sounds like every African leader.. ever
Does "african" include afrikaaners???? Lol...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I don't see no afrikaaner president in the past 30 years.
They are right next to the coastline,we give them a warning and if they dont release them we go there
Totally agree. We should get our people back.
This is a nightmare. Innocent family men caught up in something they no nothing off.
What is the progress on this story? Have these men been released?
Such horror
Sadly we haven't got a govt....
Question? why was the picture of him with the president of Russia placed lasted and also why was it dragged longer?
Sadly we have only a president of the ANC....not the country. We need to urgently change the constitution so that we can directly elect our president as citizens.
Lord Jesus Intervene in Jesus name.
So, this is a retaliation to South Africa ceasing his yatch & arresting him?
The yatch is back though
Avoid working in those countries
. Money is not worth the risk. I Pray that they will be reunited with their families.
Stay in SA and build our own country....don't help other countries because they have always a agenda...!!!!!
No...return to europe....
How utterly disgusting...
Are they released or not
Their day will come!!! You ride the crest of the wave temporarily, and then you fall like a ton of bricks!!! I hope I can witness that day!!! 😡😡😡✊✊✊
So why is he not in The Hague??
I hope they are released safe and sound
😢😢 we cant just give away our people away like that djoooo
We need the embassy of that country to leave South Africa asap
@DIRCO please engage robustly!
Our government should show strength here.
Assignation?
The Embassy of Equatorial Guinea
We humans own the world.
No one should ever have a right to step on someone's freedom. This guy must be arrested.
Since Daniel won a case of wrongful arrest in Liberia in a South African court. I am just wondering, how could western cape high court, SA, have jurisdiction on a judicial administration matter that happened in Liberia? Does it come because it was an SA citizens? Is this not some kind of bullying done by SA courts? Wouldn't diplomatic relationship will eventually suffer?
Imagine SA courts finding a USA/Chinese minister reponsible for justice and police administration guilty of wrongful arrest of a south african national in USA/China . The court then order the sale of minister's personal assets in SA. Isn't it obvious other country will react unfavourably?
The ruling happened here but was probably based on their own laws so the judgement is enforceable on their side as well
Very true....
@carteblanche please do a follow up story. Please help get this story out. UPDATE: Peter and Frik got 12 years jail time! 😢And each have to pay R141 million. INNOCENT men paying a price not even murders pay!! 😢😢😢
If they were a different shade or nationality would this happen ?
