If only skeem GP can stop cutting these people while they telling their stories 🤫 I wanted to hear tell us the day they caught her but eyi skeem had to intervene 😒

[@Facts_Only_SA]

The last week's guest asazi nokuthi what did he steal. Again this guest, we don't even know how much did she steal, how did she get caught... Skeem needs to have written question now. You can't leave out juicy parts

[@nhlanhla4231]

Yeah i was mostly interested in her education journey,how she got her job,what position she held,how much she stole and how she was caught but de interview was all over the place Gender,Religion,Sex,Prison etc

Yhoo the way the host is always fascinated about sex life in prison is so tiring like he would invest a whole 20minutes on it kuyabhora....all the interviews manje he asks about the same thing hai man we get it now

[@stanleytsotetsi3132]

You didn't ask her enough questions like how long was she was incarcerated and how it happened, you were in a hurry to get next questions, for me this one ,one of bad the episode .

Skeem"s questions about people's sexualities and are so offensive.How come noone has called him out on that. He said people might be confused looking at Hlwngiwe, batho ba bona "istew"😱

[@NyakalloKolisang]

I agree it’s offensive and we don’t want to hear about people’s sexuality- we wanna hear her story and how she survived and not about how she found out about her sexuality 😢 hayi skeem !!

[@EngEconomist]

@@NyakalloKolisang Right!!!??? He needs curated questions. Sometimes he spends too much time asking people about getting sexually assaulted man like it's a joke.He ends up not getting to the details of what we are actually watching for. Arrgghh🙁

[@refiloera]

He doesn't listen to anyone but himself

[@noblengcobo8568]

I love her she's so positive🥺❤️

[@njakes3001]

I reject the characterization of a criminal record as idimoni, even in jest. It's the consequence of bad decisions.

[@Mbalings]

That's my sentiment exactly. Noone asked you to break the law. You're an ex offender because of the bad decisions you made. Law abiding citizens also have no jobs 🤷‍♀️ But maybe my perspective is informed by privilege, I don't know. Actions have consequences. Even the poorest of people still make a decision everyday to NOT BREAK THE LAW. I feel nothing for ex offenders and their joblessness. 🤷‍♀️

I have so many unanswered questions, how long was she in prison for? How did she get caught? Who caught her? I know Mhlengi personally and I feel the interview had irrelevant questions... we want to know where she is right now? There is so many struggles she is facing but those questions were not asked. Mhlengi is truly struggling but those questions were not asked I feel she was robbed ☹️😭

[@nkosazanankosi5760]

I get what you talking about I don't know her but skeem fascination with people sexually is time consuming, I mean why does he always ask this question of sexuality aowa its boring now

[@Ngestro]

Tell you what,another podcast is gonna pick up on that.

[@mayibongwendlovu9176]

Aii mara skeem you wanna chip in a lot of times... let them talk let them tell the story, we enjoy that

[@MSTT691]

Auditors pick it up but once they alert your bosses and get legal advise, they give you more time to steal so that when the matter is heard in court, the substantial evidence and the weight of the crime grants one more years in jail. Most people continue stealing thinking that they've covered their tracks. 😂

[@zwelithinikhumalo6960]

I feel absolutely nothing for ex offenders not getting jobs. You made your bed wethu. Law abiding citizens also don't have jobs, with their qualifications. You're not special. Sorry not sorry.

[@nelisiwetshabangu243]

It bothers me so much when former criminals complain about the existence of a criminal record. 1. It seems to communicate that DCS doesn't teach the reason the justice system worldwide resorted to having public record of who has had a brush with the law. 2. The amount of recurring offenses despite the existence of the record itself. This idea of a second chance seems to negate the fact that a crime was committed

[@Cleo256]

Do another interview relatable with her.

[@fuki8812]

So disappointed with this interview. The lady comes across as if she was not yet ready to tell her story. She literally said nothing! Nah, she is not yet ready shame Skeem tried to get through to her shame, but she refused to come to the party. It was a let down of an episode

[@thandekamamatu6850]

[@Reitumetse-Love]

[@imogenemathe6723]

19 years in nothing stop being impatient is not like you did nothing. With that 10years do community work to prove yourself in the community as they no longer trust you. So you need to think about the people you offended in as much as you put yourself first. Just go through the process and learn to be patient otherwise you will find yourself going back again.

[@imogenemathe6723]

It’s a shame that people like this get a platform and they don’t they are not educated about the power of voting. Stop asking these people about voting as they are clueless

[@Mbalings]

Honestly, I don't blame them for their ignorance. IEC is doing ZERO on voter education (It's part of their responsibilities). Up until 2 years ago I also didn't quite understand the point of "electing people so they can be VIPs." I didn't understand what it means when they say "When you don't vote you can't complain" I thought it was a nonsensical statement because I pay tax and so Incan complain. Someone explained to me exactly what it actually means and a light bulb 💡 literally went off in my head. I do my best to educate those around me and they're also always so shocked, I'm talking about the youth here. A lot of us are uneducated about voting, not just ex offenders 🥹 I agree he shouldn't ask them because they're replies are ignorant and dangerous (to no fault of their own)

[@thandekamamatu6850]

Irrelevant questions

[@vusiradebe5737]

Skeem should stop having conversations with his guests off camera, an interview should happen organically on camera i think that's what McG has mastered for us all to also get to know the guest. i agree with @The_southy_Emzansi he was just interested in her sexuality nje qha, i enjoyed Trinity coz he told his story even though skeem tried to lead away from his story he always came let them speak their truth that's what we are here to listen to not how she sleeps with her partner. i could not finish it.

[@michaelmbatha8474]

Boring episode. In fact every time i watch women episodes i get bored. It's like they are rehearsed to share some info and shy away from other information. How was she caught? How much did she steal? Was she arrested at work? How long was she in imprisoned for? Do women have a number in prison? Was she ever mis-treated or beaten inside? She could have shared more detail as to what she meant by "living beyond her means" - was she drinking expensive booze, expensive clothes etc. Mnxm. This episode couldn't put us on the scene of crime and inside prison like Jelly Buthelezi and Trinity did.

Hi, You can get it expunged. Go to the police station you were arrested at, get case number and go to Pretoria to the Justice department you don't pay anything, you apply and after evaluation, the personnel will call you to confirm expungement. And the Declaration letter can be collected. Good luck
