February 9 will mark one year since two South African engineers, Frederik Potgieter (54) and Peter Huxham (55) - the latter a dual South African/UK citizen - were detained in Equatorial Guinea on drug charges, and the families are calling for the South African government to do more to help resolve the situation, as they believe the detainment was “arbitrary”. Potgieter and Huxham were working for Dutch company SBM Offshore in Equatorial Guinea at the time of their arrest.
