A business deal gone horribly wrong resulted in the illegal detainment of South African Daniel Janse van Rensburg in Equatorial Guinea. He was imprisoned on charges of fraud and theft for 549 days — 491 of which were at the notorious Black Beach prison — from December 2013 to August 2015. Daniel Janse van Rensburg joined Kfm Mornings to share his remarkable story of surviving one of the most dangerous and notorious jails in the world, making friends with shady characters and how he was ultimately set free.

He tells of his daily struggle scavenging for food, often eating rotten meat and drinking contaminated water, living in filthy conditions with no running water or functioning toilets and washroom facilities and totally cut off from his family, legal representation or the South African embassy.
