What was supposed to be a short business trip to Equatorial Guinea turned into a journey to the depths of hell.
Until We Meet Again
Black Beach Prison, Malabo
In 2013, South African businessman Daniel Janse van Rensburg set off to Equatorial Guinea for a short business trip. Then he was arrested.
Within days of his arrival in the country, Janse van Rensburg had been arrested by the local Rapid Intervention Force and detained without trial in the island’s infamous ‘Guantanamo’ cells. He was later illegally incarcerated at Black Beach, a prison located on Bioko island off the mainland, notorious for its brutality and inhumane conditions.
Black Beach: 491 Days in One of Africa’s Most Brutal Prisons is his remarkable story of survival over nearly two years.
