13:22 this dude is no longer a gangster.He is changed.A rehabilitation camp reached out to him.He looks so different and healthy. His whole demeanor has changed. He turned 21 a few months ago and celebrated his changed life
I was born in this place Manenberg, my mom's family is from there. I dated a girl there some years ago and even though I have family there it's a bad idea to he there after dark. There are 2 police stations within 4 miles of where they interviewed those guys but police focus on containing the problems to Mananberg because they're powerless inside of it. When it gets bad the police will sometimes conduct largescale raids and come in with a fleet of armoured vehicles but every single time I can remember of it ended with the police asking community leaders to facilitate a ceasefire with whichever gang is involved.
The Gang in Prison all over South Africa is run by 26 27 and 28. Outside of Prison especially Cape Town they form their on Gangs but they are ruled by the System of a Numbers Gang in Prison.
I've stayed in Mitchell's plain and as a white guy I was welcomed and shown a lot of kindness. There is good and bad everywhere, I pray that peace comes to those parts.
Atleast they got someone they respect, here in Khayelitsha we no longer have our John Wick around ( prison) , Those guy wouldn't make it out of Khayelitsha especially Site B and C , never 🤞🤞
I was born and raised in this community and it's sad that they only show the negative side and not the good of it. Yes that's the reality but there are people really trying to make change
The interviewer does interviews with all types of people in different situations.. Check out his other interviews too. He goes where few go to give a voice to people like this. He even did a few days living in a township as a local. His channel is named Wide Awake.
The interviewer comes from a dark past of drugs and gangs. He fixed his life and now runs a podcast and YT channel. He is doing these interviews to show the world how hard life is for so many people in SA.
On the outside, anyone can start a gang, most likely someone will be part of a gang that has the most influence in their neighborhood, or one they started with their friends. But the pillars of South African gangsterism ar the numbers gangs "26, 27 & 28" these never change, you can only claim 1 of these gangs only once you've been to prison.
Each number(26,27,28) has it's own set of rules and rankings just like in military. Each number is a gang in prison. But 26 gang are related to discipline and money. 27's to blood discipline and murder. And 28 are a whole different breed
they didn't ask him anything because if you google the interviewer you'll see his known for highlighting problems in coloured areas like the cape flats. he has been in some pretty shady places trying to show SA what suffering is happening to the underprivileged and marginalised.
my guys u gotta do some research.. he lives in the gang terrioty.. 27s in prison his a 28,while his on the outside his a robber n killer and has to survive the 27 rules on the Inside his the shot caller of the 28s.. 17deaths a day was a metric when this happened and was recorded that's are way higher
The 28,27,26 are gangs with a small difference since they kind of reside in places that are near each other and sometimes in the same hood , at first the fights where for street discpline but as time went by they got territories established and needed to feed themselves so yeah you can only guess how that goes
So for people that don't know Outside of prison in every part of South Africa not just Cape town there are different gangs BUT when gang members go to prison they then join a prison gang those prison gangs are only 26,27 and 28. So you could be a 27 gang member but outside of prison you in a different gang. To put the danger in perspective, any gang in America are gangs in a 1st world country where you can't compare the poverty to a country like South Africa. These guys have seen it all and done it all and are very very dangerous
There are a couple numbers ,26 ,27, 28 and the big 5, now in the cape flats the diff gangs affiliate with the diff numbers ,just like there are numbers that affiliate with each other at some levels in the flats you might find 3 diff gangs calling one number but go by diff names ,the numbers are more of a law ,code and way of life , in and out of prison ,knowing what i know now prison is not safe per say ,its more of a more control over his life thun out side ,and its right a "brotherhood" to a point where the numbers rarely clash with each other and work together to make the prison go round with the drug activity left one number and other number do other things ,so it ends up the numbers need each other ,before a clash of the numbers the bosses or leadership will have agreed on it in some way ,
also.. the native tongue in south africa have 11 official languages we as mixed race or gangsters use English and the Afrikaans I suggest for translation part u use subtitles..
the interviewer is giving others insight into the lives of colored people that were and is still being pushed aside to this day and gangsterism is one of the sad dividers between our people but they are so deep into it and blind that they don't see our land is being stolen under our feet by other nations like the europeans, arabics, nigerians, indians, Chinese, and so many others so on the interviewers side I would say he definitely trying to tell the story yet obviously trying to make a living from it too but that's okay because he himself comes from a life of drugs so to give back in this way is good because that young boy you see that's so passionate today have been pulled out of gangsterism because of this video and has gone viral for it so they trying to help where they can too
so in prisons you get the three main gangs 26s, 27s, and 28s. The 26s are specialised in robberies and smuggling. the 27s monitor and enforce the laws and codes of the numbers. the 28s are regarded as the senior gang. there is a lot more on google about the 28s that i probably cant share on youtube. Hope this helps abit.
@abigails6020 i beg to differ... hostels were created by MINES... private company.. back in the day only men or women working at a specific company were allowed to stay there... whereas.. the Cape Flats waz STATE HOUSING... that's how i see it..
Numbers Gangs are prison gangs. Outside prison every gangster belongs to the respective gang such as The Hard Livings, American Gangs etc. Crazy thing is that they are 'brothers' inside prison but rivals outside prison.
The whole number gang begun in KwaZulu-Natal. And it was first spoken in isiZulu, but later on spreaded throughout the country, and the Cape coloureds changed it, and mixed it with Afrikaans
In South Africa, there are basically 2 types of gangs, Street Gangs and what most people term prison gangs or "The Number". The number typically consisted of 3 primary groups: The 26's, 27's and the 28's, but as the years went on, there have been a few offshoots and factions coming OuT, influenced by politics of People coming from different parts of the country, most notably the R.A.F3 and R.A.F4, Big5, etc... these are all prison structure, roles and secret codes nobody outside of those whore are part of that particular group knows. Each "number" stands upon its own foundations, secrets, language & laws. For example, I may be in prison with My own blood brother, raised together by same parents, having grown up speaking the same language, but if We're not in the same number, He can never hear or understand when I talk to a member of My own number, or know how to read the meanings behind My tattoos, etc... On the streets though, We may, in some cases, become members of the same street gang, but some people prefer street gangs made up of members of the same number or from a number whose codes and principles align with theirs, because there's more trust, discipline, and the laws are more strictly obeyed. In a street gang, someone can sometimes lose their mind and go all crazy, but numbers are the law, even when they're applied outside of prison system. Those laws are tattooed on you for you to take it with you to your grave - you live by them, and die with them. The secrets and the laws of what happens inside those different numbers will only ever be known to the different members of those numbers, according to their ranks. You have to graduate up the ranks to know a little bit more, and graduation is different in every number..
Blaming the apartheid for their criminial behavior is pathetic . They have been running the country 29years and cant stop their barbaric entitled behaviour .

That's the video that misled a lot of people about how numbers work. 28s don't rule the number. Mongrel was chatting out his naai.

Outside of prison in every part of South Africa not just Cape town there are different gangs BUT when gang members go to prison they then join a prison gang those prison gangs are only 26,27 and 28. So you could be a 27 gang member but outside of prison you in a different gang.

The number typically consisted of 3 primary groups: The 26's, 27's and the 28's, but as the years went on, there have been a few offshoots and factions coming OuT, influenced by politics of People coming from different parts of the country, most notably the R.A.F3 and R.A.F4, Big5, etc... these are all prison structure, roles and secret codes nobody outside of those whore are part of that particular group knows.
