A Southern Cape businessman who endured captivity in Equatorial Guinea's notorious Black Beach prison for almost two years has spoken for the first time about the powerful businessman who kept him illegally imprisoned after a business deal went sour. Back home in George and reunited with his family, Daniel Janse van Rensburg, 49, yesterday told of the cat-and-mouse ordeal that began in 2013.He was arrested after a dispute over civil aviation operating licences with politician and businessman Gabriel Bela Angabi, a relative of Equatorial Guinea President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo.When he first tried to leave the country, in December 2013 - cleared of any wrongdoing by a court - Angabi intercepted him at the airport."As I started to board, Angabi came running in, huffing and puffing ... he's quite a large man," said Janse van Rensburg."He [Angabi] bypassed the highest laws."Three lawyers refused to take on Janse van Rensburg's case."Angabi wielded a great deal of power ... they would hear his name and just walk away."Janse van Rensburg served two stints in Black Beach, the first for three months last year."It's like an animal cage. They open the gates, throw you in and lock you up. There's no control. Being the only white person was interesting. They try to intimidate you. It was quite rough."His wife Melanie was speechless when she first saw him on his return to South Africa."I started crying from happiness. We just cried. I still struggle to sleep," she said.Van Rensburg said his case would probably be used "to educate diplomats in the future"...
