This is why i like this channel. No podcasts about influencers but rather significant people

[@MrAstra1994]

This is fast-becoming one of my favourite podcasts - great work.

[@wideawakepodcast]

Hey, thank you! I really appreciate this.

[@syncane]

I cried

[@kieronreddy8837]

As a warden currently working at Pollsmoor Prison, I can tell you prison truly is like university, it's a mind boggling place that will constantly surprise and humble you, just as you think you have it figured out. Great podcast

[@wideawakepodcast]

Hey, I just sent you a message on Instagram! 🙋🏼‍♂️

[@wesleygovender6720]

I enjoyed the podcast he did with you.

[@SavageSaffa]

How are the salaries?

[@johanneskerkgorrel7251]

can you interview a pollsmoor guard that worked there recently....that should be interesting

[@Denny_Boi]

"Knowledge is the best weapon." I strive to live to that ideal.

[@jermainebowers4343]

Christo is a well spoken guy i enjoy the story of him and mandela i think there was much more to listen to and the store was to sort for me🌍🇿🇦

[@Mediatomcat]

Actually feel tearful at the relationship between these two. Fantastic.

[@liam5205]

[@bumblebee1.0]

What a beautiful podcast! Listening to podcasts like this reminds me of what a proud South African I am!

[@linzyeksteen2037]

Wow I enjoyed it so much and thank you for reminding us again the hero we had that sacrifice so much for our country to be free. Some moments was emotional especially talking how old Mandela and the comerades was and continue not give up regardless the brutal circumstances🥺. We need more Mandela's I'm South Africa. Lots of love and support from a South African living in France and thank you to the prison gaurd speaking his truth and put his humanity first. Thank you for creating this channel so informative♥️

[@JacquesieKwaakie]

My grandfather and his cousin were in charge of the prison at that time, and their families (including my mother) lived there with them on the island.

[@izindawo8363]

Certain episodes are just too good to not watch it again! #nr3

[@VictorWareley-eb3wx]

The guy are right.I was a cook in pollsmoor prison in1985 and had the privilege of serving Mr Mandela his breakfast one morning on the roof 👍

[@michellemoreana1938]

God bless this man ❤

[@izindawo8363]

Amazing story. Very grateful this is shared so we can all learn from it.

[@muzinkuhlu2592]

This was a great and well conducted interview ❤ 👏🏾👏🏾

[@JUST_WATCHING_JC]

Loved this bro, President Mandela was the best president in history. I look up to him up to this day. He may be gone but will never be forgotten. I miss president Mandela. These parties we have now and their leaders are rotten.

[@James-miller]

Only found this channel 2 weeks ago and I’m loving the podcasts Tuning in from the UK 🇬🇧

[@bumblebee1.0]

Same, I also found it about 2 weeks ago and have binge watched over 10 episodes already!

[@byronvath4879]

Thank you for being the most cutting edge podcast in the country this channel rocks

[@Denny_Boi]

This is an exceptional human being. Not many people had his outlook on life and people when he was young. Need to educate people to be empathetic and rational

[@janmecklenburg5382]

Tuning in from Germany. Luv your work !

[@barontetteh]

[@-Datura-]

Sweet. I will bite. Second interview I have watched and I have found them both very interesting. Good job boet! Sub'd.

[@michellemoreana1938]

Siya Kolisi understand the Mandela assignment. He gets what a win means for the entire south Africans

[@jabulanimaseko2044]

Good interview buddy. This was very informative.

[@manayesh]

The most feared prisoner by the apartheid gvt was Robert Sobukwe. He was kept alone in robben island and was never allowed to mingle with any prisoner. When he was released, he was banished to Kimberly instead of his eastern cape home. He received an offer to lecture at Harvard, but the apartheid gvt refused him the passport.

[@anthonyjonkers8072]

I read his book. Very inspiring. I forgot the title.

[@laurenpotter858]

WOW! I really enjoyed this Podcast it was so interesting.

[@charmainepriestman915]

The way Mandela suffered makes me cry May his beautiful soul rest in peace

[@UnaNel-g3e]

I would like to know if the gentleman remembers a warden that was attacked when prisoner's tried to escape. He was my dad's brother.

[@monkisethojane2218]

You should do a interview with Alison botha

[@zcm7321]

Yes, Alison Botha’s trials, tribulation and journey to live again would be an eye opening, heart rendering podcast.

Why dont the schools teach the children about all the wrong they did instead they just point out the good things

[@lr6477]

Because they were valorised as heroes and so few know they were killers.

[@dirkburger1362]

You are looking for a foot print to launch your podcast. Deal with present SA and let the back ridden pre1994 as the past. You want to score at the cost of South Africans

[@divinedriftofficial]

Imagine how many people wouldn't commit crimes, if they knew they had to go to jail and do non stop hard labor, or not eat. There would be no one in jail haha

[@alexrigby7553]

God the host is insufferable

[@wideawakepodcast]

Thank you

[@cotton3912]

In my mind Jesus sits on one side of God and if any man who lived sits on the other side it is Nelson Mandela. He was so good it's difficult to understand such goodness......

[@lr6477]

Do you even know why Mandela was imprisoned?

[@SugarAndMice]

@@lr6477 Being too cool?

[@neoramorobi1546]

Careful apartheid is still a sensitive topic and should be discussed with equal dialogoue between two races not one...how do we know the accuary of this story

[@Mi3Lie2poinT0]

So you're of the opinion that discourse shouldn't take place here on the basis that they're both white? lol

[@monkisethojane2218]

All races experienced apartheid. Depends which side you where in. It's interesting to see our history through different lenses

[@cornecloete69]

What are you on about. . . . Eff supporters are always looking for racism where there is none. 😒

[@carlajoseph5091]

That was not the same man/why do Europeans continue to give us that story.

[@frederikbrits9559]

My self was 30 years a warden.....this chap is over acting

[@cohenday1377]

What are you even trying to say ?

[@manayesh]

Please elaborate.
