In this week’s episode of the Wide Awake Podcast I had a chat with the leaders of the Bad Boys gang and Pastor Andie. During this episode we talked about what it was like growing up in one of South Africa’s most dangerous areas, how they joined and eventually became the leaders of the Bad Boys gang, life inside South Africa’s most notorious prison, how they make money for the gangs, corruption in South Africa, where they see themselves in 10 years and much more!

Great podcast. I serve in a rehab here in CPT where most of the guys are gang or ex-gang members. Some are former hitmen in that life as well. Once these guys open up and share you can really see the toll the life has taken on them. Especially once the drugs wear off and they have to face the emotions. Sadly fatherlessness is truly the common issue between them, I say respectfully. I have such a respect uncle Andy for his work and such a great role model. We need more father figures like him in the community.

@AndieSteeleSmith 10 ай бұрын

Thank you for serving in the rehab and no doubt being a father figure there to many - well done you. What a brilliant way to give back. Again, thank you 🙏

This is the second episode I've watched on this podcast and decided to subscribe after this. Great work Josh. Uncle Andy is doing some amazing work. The guy who is light skinned is very smart and I'm sure he is definitely going to turn his life around. He has a strong sense of why, which is his son.

It's interesting to listen to this stories. I pray they see a different way of life

The one in green is soft and totally relies on ice and Dylan and how do there dockets get lost is because Dylan's mother is a police bed And as for peace whenever the community rises up against them they run. Our kids go to school everyday they respect meand that's why I can say this we already had a talk

When the guy in the Green T-shirt responded to the 'world's nicest prison' question, and said he had seen something like that on a show called 'World's toughest Prisons', you interrupted him and said no it's not that...He was actually referring to an episode on World's Toughest Prisons where they went to a Scandinavian prison where it looks like a hotel. So next time hear people out first, and don't just assume and jump to correct them, because it comes across as patronizing.
