I have to say that there is nothing on the continent of Africa that remotely surprises me these days.
I'm afraid that if you chose that sort of path in life, with it's ever present risk, you must also accept the potential consequences, this is still darkest Africa and even in the twenty first century, not a great deal seems to have changed.
I really hope, that as a South African national, his government is able to apply as much pressure as possible and ultimately get him the hell out of there.
It would be nice to hope and believe he could say goodbye to his present lifestyle and settle down to retirement.

In Africa, this was just a case of being hired by the wrong guy at the wrong time. Our prayers are with you William. Regards Andrew
