The Government says there has been no word yet on the return to South Africa of four mercenaries pardoned this week by the government of Equatorial Guinea.
International Relations and Cooperation spokesperson Nomfanelo Kota says in a statement they have not been advised of anything yet.
An embassy official in Malabo did not want to be quoted and referred further queries to Kota.
Briton Simon Mann, South Africans Nick du Toit, George Alerson, Sergio Cardoso and Jose Domingos were convicted in a trial which implicated Mark Thatcher, the son of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, as the financier of a 2004 plot to overthrow the oil-rich Equatorial Guinea and oust long-serving President Teodoro Obiang Nguema.
