\u201cDie hele storie is bog \u2013 dit is absurd.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is die sentiment van familie en vriende van twee Suid-Afrikaners wat vandeesmaand in Ekwatoriaal-Guinee in hegtenis geneem is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Langebaner Peter Huxham (55) en sy kollega, Frederick Potgieter (53) van George, bevind hulle in een van Afrika se berugste tronke nadat hulle Donderdag 9 Februarie by die Anda China Malabo-hotel in verband met dwelm-misdrywe in hegtenis geneem is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die plaaslike polisie glo di\u00e9 twee mans het te doen met \u2019n besending koka\u00efen wat Ekwatoriaal-Guinee met \u2019n internasionale vlug binnegekom het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Weslander<\/i> het met \u2019n familie-verteenwoordiger van Huxham gesels wat meen die inhegtenisnemings het te doen met \u2019n \u201cpolitieke speletjie\u201d nadat die sakeman Daniel Janse van Rensburg klagtes teen Ekwatoriaal-Guinee se visepresident, Teodorin Obiang, gebring het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Rensburg is in die Black Beach-tronk aangehou \u2013 dieselfde tronk waar Huxham en Potgieter hulle nou bevind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In \u2019n televisie-verslag oor die voorval is \u2019n onderhoud met albei mans gevoer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNee, nooit in my lewe nie,\u201d voer Potgieter aan oor die vermeende dwelmvonds. Huxham het op sy beurt ges\u00ea dit is gewis nie sy koka\u00efen nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die verslag van naWETIN<\/i>, \u2019n Ekwatoriaal-Guinese televisie\u00adnuuskanaal, het die twee reeds hul verklaring by die plaaslike polisie afgel\u00ea. \u2019n Ondersoek is glo van stapel gestuur om te bepaal of die dwelms wat gevind is, Huxham en Potgieter s\u2019n is en of enige ander mense \u201cbetrokke was\u201d. Die polisie ondersoek ook glo of die koka\u00efen vir verkoop in Ekwatoriaal-Guinee bestem was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teen druktyd is geen amptelike aanklagte teen Huxham en Potgieter gebring nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die twee was van plan om die dag n\u00e1 hul inhegtenisneming \u2013 Vrydag 10 Februarie \u2013 terug na Suid-Afrika te vlieg. Albei werk reeds jare lank vir \u2019n Nederlandse olie- en gasmaatskappy met bedrywighede in Ekwatoriaal-Guinee. Hulle was reeds \u2019n eerste keer in die hof volgens naWETIN<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit blyk die kans vir borgtog vir die Suid-Afrikaners is skraal, aangesien hulle as vlugrisiko\u2019s aangesien kan word, omdat hulle nie \u2019n vaste adres in die land het nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die George Herald <\/i>het Sondag (19 Februarie) berig hulle het met \u2019n familie-verteenwoordiger van Potgieter gesels. Hoewel die familie nie in verbinding met Potgieter is nie, het di\u00e9 verteenwoordiger ges\u00ea Potgieter het niks met dwelms uit te waai nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy was op pad terug huis toe en het die nag in Ekwatoriaal-Guinee deurgebring om sy vlug te haal. Hy is in hegtenis geneem nadat hy na bewering dwelms gebruik en dit vervoer het. Dit kan onmoontlik waar wees, aangesien hy glad nie dwelms van enige aard gebruik nie,\u201d het die familielid verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vriende van Huxham het ook teen sy inhegtenisneming uitgevaar. Intussen wag die familie op hete kole om enige nuus van die twee mans te hoor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
