A luxury lifestyle built on the backs of suffering employees

Dining on board Egerstrom's luxury yacht

We promised to provide our readers not with pictures of luxury, but with an update of the court case against Sea Marshals that was supposed to have been presented in court in the Seychelles today. However, we learned that Egerstrom has yet again succeeded in dodging accountability for his pathetic actions as he petitioned the court to adjourn the case. The result is that the crew of the mv Ocean Bounty will continue to endure even more hardship while awaiting a new court date. We find this behaviour abominable as this is the second adjournment he has sought so far in this case, with total disregard for the crew and their well-being. The Ocean Bounty has now been abandoned in the Seychelles for seven months.

If a picture speaks a thousand words...would you trust this man?

Egerstrom / Jakobsson

Equality for Africa (EFA) would like to bring to your attention the person pictured and would advise extreme caution if you are an employee, perspective employee, client, perspective client or intend to have any deal or dealings, whether it be at individual, company, organisation, institution or government level. The person pictured uses two different names depending on where he is and who he is dealing with. The names which you should be aware of are Sven Tomas Egerstrom and Thomas Jakobsson, we are also aware that he has a passport in each of those names. This we find very strange considering the heightened security we all now experience in the uncertain world we now live in. As we are all aware, it has always been considered since the arrival of private maritime security companies, (PMSC’s) that they operate in the grey area bordering on criminal or illegal activity.

We at EFA have had brought to our attention, Egerstrom's dubious business practices, which include, bribery, corruption, fraud, blatant disregard for laws and regulations, failure to honour contracts, and above all, Racism and a lack of concern for the health and safety of his employees.
