- In this episode of the Wide Awake Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dariusz Dziewanski. Dariusz is an experienced researcher, journalist, and author who has dedicated fifteen years to international development and humanitarian work.
He specialises in research, monitoring, evaluation, and learning, with his main focus on gangs. His extensive academic research has resulted in the publication of a book titled "Gang Entry and Exit in Cape Town: Getting Beyond The Streets in Africa’s Deadliest City," as well as numerous articles in esteemed peer-reviewed journals.
During our conversation, we delved into Dariusz's journey of working with gangs in South Africa and explored why Cape Town holds the unfortunate distinction of being Africa's deadliest city. We discussed the Cape Flats and examined the most influential gangs in South Africa. Additionally, we explored the reasons behind individuals joining gangs and the various pathways they take to exit such environments. Dariusz also shared an insane story about a lone gangster engaged in an extraordinary battle and much more…

Thank you so much for the Super Thanks! I just turned on the feature and you are the second person to send me one. I really appreciate it 🙏🏼
Legend! Keep up the solid work
Great episode! Great work Josh, had a squizz through the channel and some great guests and content. All the best 🚀
Great job Josh. And another highly fascinating guest.
I really like the questions you ask in all your interviews. In this episode specifically the question about women in the gangs. Something that is hardly spoken about at all.
Following since you where on 12k subs great to see you on 112k... glad to see you growing dude
Another awesome episode mate
Hey bro, firstly send my love to your camera man from the slums docie (we at school same year). Secondly, I preferred this one a lot due to the wealth of knowledge here. Have some more academics on with knowledge like this keeps you drawn in. The last few podcasts were alright but I was struggling to be drawn in, especially some of the US interviews was difficult to be drawn in. This one was epic.
EDIT: the one with jack parrow was very good maybe actually one of your best in terms of being drawn in.
Awesome one bru

In coulored communities it maybe about needing an identity
"His friends taking him for a ____"
damn dude blew up
I always question these most violent lists. Do third world countries really keep sufficient statistics, particularly in slums?
Hi Josh! Great podcast. Please get in touch and let's do a podcast colab together!
I knew someone involved with the Gupta brothers and a jeweler who painted gold silver and someone scamming through the scrap metal business.
"Look at the big brain on Brad"
This guy has a typically foreign understanding of the schematics of gangs in cape societies
Believe me he is in no way a typical foreigner,I've spent time with him in M/plain,I'm Prince in his book,he has knowledge of the underworld of Cape flats more than any could care to have,so he ain't typical typically if you get what I mean✌️
When you writing your book Pure Boxing? On your extensive local understanding of gangs in cape societies?
@@lfcdurban2716 maybe i should write about something completely foreign to my culture or beliefs. Something alien to me, and become the expert. Maybe I should apply questions and arguments which already exist, and just copy and paste. Maybe i should try and make money off this culture too😂
Maybe not. Im no culture vulture. What's happening here is the same as a homosexual wearing a native American apache head dressing and saying he understands the red Indians.
Following my logic on this?
Its anthropologically flawed because its using concepts of power and symbols, even lingo with very little understanding of them.
@@Pure_Boxing you lost me at culture😂, have a great day further.
Time to interview gang bosses
Need a hun who can look at me the way Josh looks at gangsters😓
First.
Yes you are! 🙌🏻
Fifteen years experience 😂😂lol
Yeah a complete fraudster
What qualifies one to be called an Expert. Especially, with sensitive topic such as gang culture.
Interviewed gang members?
Watch the entire video, this should answer your question.
Whether or not you get to write academic papers on it. The problem with academics is they are so far from the reality and they focus on writing papers on what "the research" supports. They come up with theories and then try and find documented information to support that theory. Where or not the documented is actually the truth is up in the air. Unless someone further research is done to question these theories, it simply becomes the way other academics think it is.
Cape town has more murders than any city in the world
This guy doesn't seem like an expert..i think if you grab a streetwise guy from the road of south africa he would be able to tell the same story's about gangs...non the less loving your videos
he's too smart for you to understand. Is English your first/home language?
Your channel would increase 3 fold if you had audio formats of the podcast across the various podcast platforms. The lack of it is holding you back. Audio is the driver of podcast growth
Hey, I completely agree! I will start asap 🙏🏼
Would love to have your podcasts on apple podcast 🙏🏻
Its dervin kids not Durban kids😂
Not until you live with them will you know.
beauty?
Did you ever though about talking to the victim of these guys.
Im not an expert by any means, but from knowing some people in that life. I feel like black gangs dont really make their gangs a cultural identity, atleast compared to Cape Coloured gangs.
If you look at LA gangs which are the most famous gangs. They started as community protectors, it was a club for youths to protect their community from others who tried to harm it. Obviously it got corrupted to do the opposite. But like any youth club they started their own slang, cultural symbols and idenity.
Cape gangs kind of emulated that. Maybe as said in the video to help give them an idenity they feel disenfranchised from.
Black people have deeper roots in their tribal idenity. So I think criminal gangs tend to be less abour forming a culture around that gang and more straight to business. I think "gangs" in black communities tend to just be crews for that very reason.
The only people I've known who claim to rep a gang in townships are posers who claim blood or crips. Which always seemed like hip hop cosplay than actual gangs. Maybe they do crime repping them. But it doesn't feel genuine since they're not from South Central LA lol
How can u separate Coloured & black gangs.The Numbers Gang is a Black gang started as a black African nationalist organisation.Coloured members of the Numbers recognise themselves as black & as the grandchildren of the founders of the Number.Coloured gangs are Number Orientated.Their founders are/were members of the number and there is a number of Africans in coloured gangs just like there is a number of coloured in the Number gang,which is an African gang!!
Haibo...when asked why CPT has alot of murder...He says he thinks it's got to due with drugs , as they coming through the port ?? Nee wat what a fraudster...
It's true tho, drug trade is what the gangs are heavily involved in down there
I don't like the way this guy says coloured it's weird 11:29
Stop lying Jerry Springer🙈
Its difficult to say?????
Dude you have got to get more comfortable chairs bro you got wooden chairs. What are you thinking?
