The video call and press conference was organised by freelance journalist and family friend, Fran Kirsten who covered the story for George Herald and the other Group Editors papers over the last 21 months.
During the press conference an emotional Janse van Rensburg often had to collect himself and wiped away the tears as he spoke about his ordeal in Black Beach jail in EG and how on several occasions, his hopes to return to his family and country of birth were raised just to be dashed time and again.
