  1. 30 years and it's still apartheid's fault 😂 you're fkin hopeless. DO SOMETHING YOURSELVES. what must we wait another 30 for fkall to happen? How much time do you need? Is this that thing were you say "5 min away" and never show up

  2. Is this for real?? This journalist is clearly pandering to the sympathies of Americans as we all know someone that's been raped and beaten, burned, stabbed to death if we're Capetonians! Sure they are born poor, but are they born evil too? Nobody asked them to beat, rob, rape and sodomise the children and adults of Cape Town to death. Rubbish journalism.

  3. Mandela served 27 years in prison, initially on Robben Island, and later in Pollsmoor Prison and Victor Verster Prison. An international campaign lobbied for his release, which was granted in 1990 amid escalating civil strife.

  4. Get locked up for drug possession, get locked up in a cell filled up with gang members takes a year to go to court you get your sentence get locked up with the same people and the next thing you know you part of a much larger thing and you after the highest rank possible as it's the only way to have a comfortable stay and now you are serving for murder and other crimes you don't want to speak about. Separation is the only way to solve the problem
