Gang Life, Cape Town: the Reality

First in a series of videos documenting experiences of young people from the Ardoyne and Clonard areas of Belfast on the My Choice programme. Video 1 captures the first 4 days of the programme, with participants learning about the realities of negative choices and gang culture in the city of Cape Town, South Africa.
Video Produced by Sub-Culture Productions

I'm from Cape Town and live in Northern Ireland... Those young men are from here. Never knew they do these exchanges...

Hi

[@jaffarharun5926]

I feel fear

[@jaffarharun5926]

[@courtneynaidoo746]

It is not that they are not ashamed of having killed people, they are desensitised.

They not proud of it, they're reformed

[@courtneynaidoo746]

These are men who have tried to redeem themselves by changing their ways and most importantly sharing their stories to make the group aware of the challenges they're constantly facing.

[@tameanathi841]

It's really not scary I used to date a 26 and I'd hangout with the gang and they'd talk about the things they did.

[@trevorbyron8181]

I lived in pollsmoor for an alleged armed rob...ive been nearly 50 times to court during my stay...to cut a long story short, I met countless guys and gangsters. Some of them crude, some rude, some grand. Outside they're dangerous...killers rapists etc....i had a ringside seat whilst there. I wrote a book I hope to publish...I must mention that eventually i chose to leave the world of drugs and crime...for good and all that's left of those days...are stories

[@obsidiansiriusblackheart]

I hope you release that book brs good luck god bless

[@grantzax]

Here is some coincidence - I believe I was your cell mate at the time while I was waiting on bail. The other guy was that hilarious old Scotsman - who's false teeth were stolen by the dog of the woman in who's house he lived. In the cell next to us was one of the accused in the Sizzlers mass murder trial. I think I could write a rather entertaining book about some of the characters I met there.

[@Khp1983]

The book ??

Couldn't you guys use an artist from Cape Town for the music? The music doesn't even suit the damn video man.

[@nigeleaves763]

[@craigtitus1728]

When getting initiated, new recruits are trained to classify their front teeth as rival gang members...and rival gang members need to be taken out.

[@samanthadutoit1247]

This is stupid! Why they explaining to these foreigners? They should talk to the kids on our streets. And the bragging of killing people is beyond me.

[@ginger0208]

Not bragging, they desensitized, they do these programs all the time with our youth. Metro Police in Cape Town run camps that last 3 months that brings about 300 kids between 8 and 18 to basically get educated and meet real rehabilitated gangsters that try and put them on the right path. They do these things all the time, but it doesn't normally work

[@lucian5389]

Some fucking C class gangsters over here

[@dhuramc-qo9nz]

They're actually admitting murder 😳

[@joshuakor4thewin49]

Of Course they are proud that they kill .... Its "gangster" something a term that is too glorified all over the world ... whats really "gangster" is getting through life with your head on straight... These kids seem like really good kids ... they should be learning to fight this rubbish

[@ginger0208]

They aren't proud, if you know anything about this life you would know that most of the time it's gang or death...they need to join, they need to do it, they not proud but desensitized
