[@Vukasizwe]

Thanks for the opportunity to speak out, Kingman. May you grow from strength to strength in all your endeavours. Jah bless 🙏

[@djstclair-e]

Beautiful lady that turned out to be an inspiration to everyone out there! Big ups 🙌

[@vusikhawula5686]

​@@djstclair-ehow can one be part of the show..

[@PlatWheels-j6r]

Hello madam

[@thamimalope5221]

This lady spent 17 years in prison and is still so beautiful. Wow

[@TheEvolvingGemini]

South African prisons are clearly a holiday destination based on what’s been showcased on this podcast, why else would she look the opposite

[@marthaniitembu1077]

Thank you for having this episode in English. Inclusively, we’re able to follow and enjoy the content (international subscribers).

[@marthaniitembu1077]

I like the fact that you took time to read the comments and advise from previous episodes and improve your skills. Kudos Sir

[@tebogoseduwa6013]

What a brave woman. Taking accountability for her actions

[@ReshoketsweMthombeni]

Thanks Skeem. Your interviewing skills are getting better each episode! This is so eye opening, if you met her on the street you would think she’s just a normal auntie from Eldos 🥹

[@FransShadung]

He really has improved he doesn't disrupt his guests as much unlike when he was first starting out.. Big up Skeem GP

[@shihahelemaluleka8463]

I fully agree 💯

[@katlehomakhele558]

I like how she is accountable and is remorseful. I hope she is getting therapy and healing. May God continue charging the trajectory of her life.

[@Mathilda5xp]

She attended therapy sessions while she was in prison. That is what she said in session 1

[@mfanafuthingcobo5887]

Great interview but we need a little bit of chronological order chief, from childhood, teenage stage, the crime court, jail experience then the change and religion so we can follow

[@siphithembasabisa2101]

Thank you Mr Lukhele and your team, this is a nice and sweet education. I'm hoping it reaches everyone out there in order to learn that crime does not pay. Thank you very much for blessing us yet again with another episode. God bless.

[@TrueCrimeLady]

I'm so confused... why was she sentenced to 15 years? did she murder the lady she stabbed? or did she murder someone else? why did she murder that person? what are the circumstances that lead to the murder? how old was she when she was sentenced? does she have kids? was she married? where did she grow up? how was her upbringing? family dynamics? this story is so interesting but there's no structure, no introduction of who the guest is and her taking us through her life journey. Please consider these points Sir for future interviews otherwise, interesting story.

[@Jackson11326]

She didn’t murder the inmate she stabbed, that lady survived. She got in because of murdering her colleague. She wasn’t married she had a boyfriend an abusive one.

[@Andtherewaslight427]

Yho am watching and am asking myself the same thing. I was about to stop watching.

[@lutriciakgopa7628]

I agree she didn't tell how it started how was she arrested etc. Like others do... Themba this time you were cutting corners

[@Gossipcartel101]

For safety they had to cut out that part coz it will be like she is justifying killing someone. They are protecting the victims family when they see this it won't be nice. She just cut it short

[@MantjororoMatsimela-jn5hv]

I didn't finish this complicated 😮

[@nellymathunda1327]

I love this lady - May the good lord keep working on you Ma! I believe in second chances. My sincere condolences to the family that lost a life though. Skeem thank you so much for the insight you bring to our lives through this platform.🙏

[@refilwemphuti4781]

❤

[@langutamacheke2412]

Thank you Themba for this educational opportunity 🙏🏽❤

[@neolebusa6792]

I see strength and growth on behindwalls podcast, big ups Mr Lukhele Nzimande and the team it is by God's grace to educate and make a difference in people's lives 🙏🏻

[@PheladiInnocencia]

I'm so proud of the woman you have become ❤ big ups, thank you skeem for bringing her in

[@karabomahamo3420]

Themba we have limited time with your guests and before getting into prison life, can they tell us WHY they got to prison and why committed the crime then the prison life shall follow.

[@vinolialindt5234]

I don’t think he plans his questions, I don’t know why that laptop is in front of him.

[@KaraboMahamo]

@@vinolialindt5234 Lol absolutely I doubt he prepares for the show, she just having conversations with the. He allows viewers to ask questions and they are not structured. Forgetting that others catch the show months later

[@marrilynhogg3371]

A sincere apology comes with more than a 'sorry'. It comes with remorse and changed behaviour.

[@panxiza707]

Best honest genuine interview....

[@BathongHle]

Prison is definitely a place nobody wants to be. the brutality is physical, psychological n emotional.

[@IAmChosen9925]

Most honest guest!

[@keitumetsemogorosi]

She looks like Lynn Forbes😍😍😍😍

[@gracemosala1728]

Too much

[@joymofokeng5440]

So beautiful

[@remotejobscorner]

True

[@MichelleMo.]

Yes yes I was battling with who I see when I look at her 😍

[@musazwane4591]

This is so deep and make me see things differently, remorse and sorry are different...wow

[@musazwane4591]

This woman is powerful, I'm schooled, thank you

[@Jackson11326]

That toilet story, 😢 oh wow people can be cruel

[@SikangezoweVuma]

I love the show lukhele but my concern is .about the family of the victims that looses there loved ones how do we solve the problem i am bleeding for my father who is died and someone is also complaining that umphakhathi is not accepting them is that fair.

[@LindaniNgewu]

Wow a very unique and strong woman

[@nzululwazimtolo1269]

Thank you so much my brother for this podcast. Sengihleli la angisayindawo.

[@francescomuscillo8509]

❤

[@wespeakthetruthhere7413]

The first question I was expecting was a how did she end up in prison.

[@robibabe]

Yes, I was just about to say to ask that too. She could have straight with a brief summary on who she is , age, marriage,is she a mother? Where she grew up... what kind of childhood she had etc.. Then go in detail of the events that lead up to her committing murder, who she murdered etc,did she turn herself over to the police or did they pick her up randomly after she committed the murder...? That is the most important part . We don't want to hear it in the middle of the podcast.

[@ExploreLifeWithVee-eo4mp]

Murder but didn't get who why he doesn't rig questions my problem with him.

[@ntlakaniphomvanyashe6282]

Please, commented exactly the same thing sometime. I did speak about rapport build up in exactly the same flow.

[@TrueCrimeLady]

Exactly!!! who did she murder guys? and why? I'm so mad at the fact that we didn't get the details nor her background.

[@Jackson11326]

She did mention that, she murdered a colleague. Just took her anger out in her

[@musazwane4591]

I like this woman, I like the honesty of like the teaching

[@ayandalatoya6762]

Thank you skeem for the podcasts 😮😢😊❤ very educational shame....

[@pearl3035]

Ngwekazi thank you giving us insight once again!

[@Konsole_Gamez]

Mr Lukhele excellent dialogue format. Business comment about the podcast, cover up the logo of your ipad and microphone stand or any other thing that is another company logo. Reason being that you are giving them free marketing and advertising with your platform and they are not paying you. Only show brands logo that are paying you as a podcast. Small 2cents grootman

[@jaysfoods533]

Skeem untswembu nge spaan and this lady is amazing

[@prettytlou2059]

she is sooo beautiful😍

[@bafana_Brown313]

There's a guy named Kenneth Molebatsi who spoke on being a gang leader's wife in prison @communitylife please invite him to your podcast

[@nompumelelomasombuka2308]

am a new subscriber, but in each episode i see a better change for instance letting the guest speak without being bombarded with questions.. otherwise loving the postcast

[@geeverbs015thend5]

I'm the biggest fan of the show

[@matimbamahlaule8669]

Waiting for jub, correction 6

[@LindaniNgewu]

Thanks Skeem mfethu we are leaning a lot from these interviews

[@ZiphezinhleCele]

Prison is a scary place 😮

[@jhonydanger3478]

Great interview Skeem.......please put Tshepo Seakamela on the waiting list......

[@SihleB-rn4nl]

Big Ups to Mr Skeem GP...the podcast is essential to caution, educate and put us in real life situations in prison. Youth and everyone else will learn and be able to make sound decisions. Siyabonga...😊

[@toninolo8579]

It just went straight into prison experience , what got her into jail?

[@Sibusiso-e4z]

My man you need to give your guest a chance to fully answer your questions. Your very first question, you asked her who she is, just after she said her name and mentioned 17 years u interrupted her.

[@taydow4135]

She mentioned that are female 26 members is that true?

[@phineasjudahdaswajr.4418]

@skeenGp thank you.... this is the brutal content we wana hear...... she nailed it

[@mthandazomhluzi7289]

This is educational, ENKOSi Skeem

[@mpilokhumalo3202]

Back story first please 🙏🏽

[@ertenaleefavor1946]

These people!!!!!!!!😢😢😢

[@siphomogale779]

This is educational thanks Skeem

[@Zanele242]

Can first start by why she was in jail, this interview was all over the place and confusing 😢

[@Gladysmvalo]

Khumsha my people,good content skeem

[@siyarenene799]

These stories and the content are interesting. But the interviewer messes things up marn. I've been watching for 30 min now, but still do not know what exactly happened and who she murdered. Hay hle Themba. A story must build up nicely from A-Z

[@Mathilda5xp]

Watch her first testimony on this channel. It's Harriet Luca episode 001

[@wandagee3271]

Dankie skeem, magnificent episode

[@karabomoncho]

Skeem plz bring back usis' Zanele❤

[@suzanorefile170]

Setswana sare "Bontle bona le dibele betjane" Ausi oo a ka thuba festere ka feisi lona?😭

[@Jackson11326]

Eh lenna Ke maketse

[@JabuKhumalo-bg4og]

This woman is beautiful- good story teller

[@saunyamadavid1972]

Skeem not even one ex-con has ever said he did a vocational course like motor mechanic, Boilermaking, panel beating and spraypainting and now they are using those skills ti start their own busineses. Does the correctional services offer such training. If so can you interview one who is using such skills to make a living after being released and what challenges do they meet in terms of capitalising and marketing their busineses. We also need to hear if such trades are taught in prison

[@yvonnematjeke993]

So far the only interview I’ve enjoyed is Lindiwe the lady who got arrested in Argentina, it was structured it flowed. Background is key always consider what the audience is looking for. I’ve seen people mention this a number of times not just in this podcast but in several others. Local podcasts disappoint me. You have a good thing going but polish it a bit or we don’t commit we watch videos when we are bored.

[@neomokoena6622]

After hearing Harriet story about the prison, don't you think jails need to be cleansed.?

[@dorahmokete218]

Themba never asked if the lady has children Most parts are missing

[@DesireSibongile]

She is so pretty hle 😊

[@masandefuzile2261]

Jah bless

[@nkululekompumputhwane7347]

Skeem next time your interviewee needs to introduce him/herself with a place where did they grow up and before you close the interview they need to be specific about what they are doing currently 🙏

[@Otshepeng_]

I am back here again💙💙🤍🤍💯💯💯

[@VegaP02]

At least the language is accommodating us all

[@takudzwablessing3695]

She's so beautiful

[@suzanorefile170]

Ke leng kere iyoooooooh

[@CRISPOTSHEPO]

Crime introduction nyana dolol. How did she end up in prison ?

[@behlumatheezali]

Lol i didnt know about 25, 30's n 24. Ku rough. 😓😞

[@dorcramps6779d]

Doctors nurses come this side please assist.. U not anywhere near labour n the baby be kicked out n mama lived is it possible?

[@ayandalatoya6762]

Hi yess it's possible...chances are she might be given cytotecs not know which allows the placenta to open before time. Then that's how you can kick the baby out.

[@musazwane4591]

Beautiful ❤

[@rollwithgrootboom1790]

So wena Grootman u went to MacG s channel to milk knowledge of how to interviewing guests??! U doing great shame ❤️❤️❤️❤️👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@ronellecandice1536]

This story😭😭😭

[@mokgaetjiledwaba4864]

I would love Oscar to come here.Just wanna know how he survived with disability in prison

[@mimimdaki3793]

These women ain't truthful. They try so hard their pain and act like all is well without really telling the whole truth...Some of them act like they don't know what really happened /realities of being behind bars... Skeem please tell them to be truthful and vulnerable because only then, healing will start❤️

[@blvcksnowbeatz]

❤❤❤

[@amonmohale8167]

you said shes got a tattoo on her face but I don't see any tattoo on her. as for 38 tattoo and none are visible wow. shes good in hiding staff

[@_miss_mosa]

There’s 3 on her right hand If you look at her forehead there is one though it seems like it’s fading or hidden by the makeup

[@mariamoagi1759]

Yho skeem ay shame uyavilaphisa uhlezi usishiya stories with loopholes. You leave me hanging in most conversation cos awuqali kahle with your guest they don't give us the background of everything or anything.

[@KgotleleloNgoatoane]

👏as for ba kgabula la ba kgabule..🤣

[@MahlatseKubyana]

when this guest is trying to take us somewhere with more clarity the host is so disturbing asking different question that is not aligned with what she is saying at that moment or quickly jumping into another issue that is why i sometimes lose the conversation, but i really love this show otherwise.

[@ertenaleefavor1946]

How did she get into prison...murdering who

[@vusikhawula5686]

How can I be in the podcast?

[@samuelnghinaunye2179]
