Two homes and a superyacht belonging to Equatorial Guinea's vice president have been seized in South Africa after a local businessman sued for unlawful arrest and torture, a lawyer said Monday.

A high court ordered the seizure of Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue's properties, along with his superyacht docked in Cape Town.

The orders arose from a lawsuit by South African businessman Daniel Janse van Rensburg.

He said he had been unlawfully detained and tortured for 491 days in a notorious Equatorial Guinea jail when a business deal went sour in 2013, his lawyer told AFP.

"We attached (seized) two houses...in Cape Town in a formal application two weeks ago and the superyacht last Tuesday," lawyer Errol Eldson, told AFP. An application to auction the assets has been filed.

This family owns Equatorial Guinea. A lot of politicians envy these buffoons.

The lawyer said his client had been hired by an Equatorial Guinea politician, Gabriel Angabi, "to set up an airline" in the oil-rich but impoverished country.
