Two unfortunate South African engineers have been imprisoned in Equatorial Guinea for more than a year since their shocking arrest on Thursday, February 9.
In 2021, the state finally admitted that Mtolo’s arrest, detention and prosecution were driven by the malicious intent of the police. In all that time, the poor guy had to endure awful conditions in various SA jail cells.
The two South African engineers – Frederic Potgieter (53) from George and Peter Huxham (55) from Langebaan – are still imprisoned in Equatorial Guinea and are trying to appeal their drug smuggling conviction.
