South African Engineers Freed After Two Years in Equatorial Guinea Jail

Justice Served For Wrongful Imprisonment

After two years of wrongful imprisonment in Equatorial Guinea, three South African engineers were released. This news comes as a relief after their employer, Sonagas, failed to produce evidence during their trial. The engineers will return to South Africa, where they will reunite with their loved ones.

Sonagas' Accountability

Sonagas, an oil and gas company, has been called to answer for their actions. Their failure to provide evidence led to the engineers' release, highlighting the need for accountability in foreign employment. This incident shines a light on the importance of accurate record-keeping and the consequences of negligence.

The Impact of Mental Anguish

Being wrongfully imprisoned for two years has taken a mental toll on the engineers. The experience has affected their physical and mental health, as well as their ability to earn a living. With them now back in South Africa, the engineers can focus on recuperating and readjusting to daily life with their families and friends.
