- Tim Jenkin was involved in the underground anti-apartheid struggle in the late 1970s. After being active for two and a half years, he was arrested in 1978 and sentenced to 12 years in prison. After 18 months in Pretoria Prison he escaped with two others.
This is a documentary of their dramatic escape aired by National Geographic Channel in June 2013. It appeared as an episode of the National Geographic Breakout series.

*I love how the prisoner uploads this on his own TH-cam channel*
Holy fuck I didn’t notice that XD
th-cam.com/video/TCSUKIhjevo/w-d-xo.html
well its not like they can be prosecuted for what happened during apartheid( against apartheid), that would be like punishing a jew for escaping nazi germany
Damn I just realized that too
He got pardoned in 1991 I believe, so he is no longer a fugitive.
The guy with the keys is genius!

Hi 👋
Yep. He is Tim Jenkin
Finally, an escape that ended in escape
lol finally
Lol why didn’t they arrest him when they did the documentary
@@Hazza-qo6ts Why would they? They didn't do anything wrong. They fought against racism in South Africa in 1978. Today thats not a crime. And South Africa now is not the South Africa from then.
Speedos 28 yes true but escaping from prison is a crime
@@Hazza-qo6ts Not in every country. But if it is in South Africa. It would still be ridiculous to arrest them. It would be like arresting jews today who escaped from nazi kamps. And in 1978 you could probably be the most wanted person in one country, cross a border and you were save.
⚠️Moral /Lesson learned :- ⚠️
1) TRY TRY AGAIN ,dont lose hope . Be brave.
2)Dont wait for opportunities, create one..
3)Be determined and focused on goal .
4)try to use things/Stuff that are around you.
5) dont lose courage. Nothing is impossible
Oh My God! I was at the edge of my chair all through! Been ages I felt like this. Can beat any Hollywood suspense thriller! U guys rocked!
Dinco422 why you so mad? who tf hurt you so bad?
Ace Sakhi shut up dude ..think your smart?
Luke Clauss watch your mouth..seriously
Luke Clauss I hope not.. now I suggest you log off TH-cam..now
Luke Clauss please don't make a scene..please delete your account..
Finally some escapees I can actually root for that aren’t in prison for murder, robbery, rape and so on.
Love the style, value and stories of these series, but none is as nail-biting, toe-tingling or heart racing than this episode. I am so moved by the entire crew and their story of courage, honesty and value to a meaningful life for all. I am honored and wish more could stand up for humanity wherever it is needed. You are my hero Tim Jenkin, the group and every person who believes in justice everywhere. Thank you for sharing.
Do a
People escape😁😊👍
Are you Top G
Tim Jerkin, the most genius man I've ever seen. Huge respect for this guy...

Who else just finished the new movie " escape from pretoria" and seeking for more information?
Yara Cell 🖐🏻
Yoooo 🙋♂️
I thought the movie was bullshit, I thought how the hell does the broom part even possible, lol it's all real tho.
Here 🖐🏻🖐🏻
Me 🖐🏼
This was always my favorite episode. You are honestly a brilliant and admirable man!
I love it to bro
have you seen the mcgyver episode?:P that guy is insane..
I lllllove this episode because it's different. It's not just one door and than let's jump walls or tunnel, It was a very neat work and great team work. 10 doors. TEN! WOW RESPECT!! !Great actors. Well done!!!
Lets not forget that most of the doors had the same key, and some were open. Lol.
And it's different because they weren't stupid
biggreenleaf uh don’t like ur own comment doosh....
Mo Id like to see you try to open a door and make a wooden key
@@mohammadh4956 like to see you escape from prison boy
Tim: Thank you for your courage and sacrifice to help rid the world of oppression, such as apartheid. I just watched the movie, "Escape From Pretoria" and found it very inspiring. You and your comrades were/are very brave people.
One thing i didnt understand was if you were 3 people and this guy was alone why didnt you consider taking him down and tieing him up? I get the impression you want to be peaceful but forcing a man to the ground and tieing up his hands is not the most violent thing you can do.
With regards to Rowlett's comment. The concept of "getting rid of "oppression" is unrealistic. With capitalism, Political power and the dysfunctional nature of humanity there is no chance of any achievement like that. Also i would say the South Africa that was built up in the 19th and 20th centuries was constructed and run with the european mindset and ethos. Yes when mandela came to power racism in the police and politicians decreased but if you watch the 1994 election debate between mandela and deklerk. deklerk said some of the violence was black on black. He saw the potential for anarchy. Sure you cant stop the will of millions of people but pretending everything post-apartheid was a success and picture perfect is not realistic. Many whites had to escape South Africa afterwards. Seems like somebody in the end has to lose out whatever scenario. i have no family or ties to anyone in south africa so i consider my opinion a neutral outsider's opinion
Whos here after watching the movie Escape from pretoria starring Daniel radcliffe. ?
S L -Where did you find that?
This tv show is way better
Me
Siddharth Lama not me lol

LegendaryWarrior which is the last song

LegendaryWarrior I can't watch this again, I'm just not strong enough.
LegendaryWarrior they did not escape
Tim you're a very intelligent man. You and your friends are courageous heros!
Hello
who's here after watching the trailer: Escape From Pretoria?
Yeah... this is also amazing
Me
Lol, me too. I might watch that one too (it looks pretty good), but i often enjoy watching or reading the documentaries or books such stories are made from, as well.

I was here before, but from the locksport point of view. These men are heroes.
Who is here after watching the movie ?
Haven’t seen the movie yet but want to ask how good is it I know Daniel Radcliffe is in it but how is the movie
@@crazykidjon2962 I thought the movie was excellent. Radcliffe played the part well. Tim Jenkin is even in it as an extra in the prison and oversaw a lot of the filming to make sure it was realistic, and he signed off on it. If it's real enough for him then it's real enough for anyone.

You are a hero. For the first time, i was on the inmate's side!! I admire what you did, that's awesome!
The song is called Free South Africa by Pascal Danae. It is on Spotify.
Thanks so much
I just visited because of the music. After many years of haunting of this . search ends here. Thanks a lot
Bro thank you so much can't thank u enough I scavenged internet
If you haven't already...go watch the movie ft. Dan Radcliffe. I had no idea how incredibly accurate they made it down to the smallest detail. Very very cool, think I'll watch it again tonight.
You need to ask my permission to watch that movie
@@ashleydube1154 you need to ok it with me on the decision you make.
The perfect prison break. No one was hurt on either side. I wonder what became of the warder? He must have been really embarrassed - You would expect one prisoner to try and get out over the wall, but three of them breaking out - with keys!!
What STUPID BULLSHIT!!!! What kind of wood did he use, stainless steel wood??? Over and over? Those locks were and still are heavy metal shit man, I WISH for them it was true, but it is simply utter dumb crap. OMG, and so many locks just sliding open!!!! KAK MAN , KAK!!!!!
Ryno Agenbach Sorry to disappoint you but it was every bit true! Read the book here: www.anc.org.za/show.php?id=8106 or download it here: www.anc.org.za/docs/books/1987/escape.pdf
There are some diagrams of the keys in the book. You can't believe that wood could be used, and neither could the warders. That's how it was successful!
Ryno Agenbach These men were gentleman and used their brains to escape. Judging by your lack of intellect, based upon the profanity in your attempt at communication in your comment, you should not judge everyone by your own standards.
Tim Jenkin Are you really Tim Jenkin??? If you are, how long did it take to make the keys? And what happened after you escaped? Thanks for the video!
+Card Tricks
You are right.
Hostility is the calling card of a weak intellect.
Heart stopping, truly enjoyed watching this thankyou for sharing with me.

This guy deserves more recognition , he is a genius
Who is with me 2019
nothing is impossible to a willing heart
I've read the book, in fact I've only just found this video of it. Pity you had to miss out so much to condense it down to a short film. The book details a lot more and what you see in this film is only a small part of what these guys went through to get out.
Silverflame775 whats the book called?
Wow....what's the name of the book?
Book's name:
Inside out
Book by Tim Jenkin
Great story indeed and the best part is it's posted by Tim Jenkin himself, the very man who was the lock-pick master. I have read the story before in a book about prison escapes and I always wanted to know more details. Thanks for posting this and I commend your bravery and your noble cause.
this episode has a great message, " help others, even if you are not benefiting" . imagine the guy that distracted when others were escaping.
Well done with the wooden keys.
They also sell wooden diamonds over there.
Kind of stupid for the prison to have a workshop like that. I mean, they're prisoners. And you just gave them resources. What the hell do you think they're gonna do with those resources, work on rehabilitating themselves?
Mr Tim Jenkin, I just read your book and i`d like to say that it`s the most amazing i`ve read thus far in my life.. All i have to say is that I fully appreciate now the meaning of freedom and am now a bit more familiarized with the aprertheid and from your point of view I was able to extract some deductions about the regime. i am just wondering how come your story hasn`t got the level of exposure it deserves, I really believe that the three of you should be deemed heroes in South Africa. I really do acknowledge the fact that i cant understand things the way they really were and for this reason i won`t go any further with expressing opinions. All i do know now is that if i get locked up in my life, i will definitely have a startpoint from which i could set about fighting for my freedom( joke, i really dont plan on going to prison, but just in case..). Anyway,I most sincirely hope that the world will not witness such a menace( the apertheid) ever again .
Who else watching this after finished 'Escape from Pretoria' hit like button
Nah thanks for letting me know about
WOOOW!! It amazes me how good humans adapt to the situations they are put in and how they can overcome obstacles. Respect Mr Jenkins, you guys rock!
Tim jenkin take a bow man !what a brilliant champ u r!Hats off to ur patience
Wait a minute, it was night when they left how it's broad daylight when they came out of the building.
They probably left a few hours before sun came up
It’s for effect, it was night for the prisoners but to show how happy they were they shot the scene in daylight. I was thinking the same thing
@@KevinGetchell wrong they left before dawn
It was in morning working with key sun was bright
This episode is my favorite episode of all episodes. Tremendous escape. Just UNBELIEVABLE, I keep watching it over and over again. For the hard work they put in it, they really deserved to have gotten away with it. SUPER NERVE-WRACKING EPISODE!!! Lock master!!!
This is an astonishing and inspiring story. The patience and sheer nerve needed to pull something like this off - and get away clean - is breathtaking. The tension I felt just watching this reconstruction was intense, so in real life it must have been almost paralyzing.
Well done, sir. Both for the escape itself and for taking a principled stand against that repugnant regime.
The fact that the other prisoners knew and supported it was amazing to me. They wouldn't be able to escape as well and they were ok with that, really shows the support they have for one another.
I can barely open my front door
I pick the wrong key sometimes. Forget about doing 10 damn locks 😂
Actually insane dude
Hey dude thanks for posting this, it’s one of my favorite Locked Up Abroad episodes (hard to find). I know of someone who claims to have escaped from a similar jail in Romania that was like this...but he made keys in the metal shop.
This show is called breakout, locked up abroad is a bad was show too I love it but they're 2 different shows
Tahilee Brown Ahhh, I see. Nice 👍
Was that during Ceaușescu’s reign?
Princess Marlena yeah it was. He even managed to escape from Romania itself, he stayed out until Ceaușescu was overthrown.
This guy was one clever bast*rd and I couldn't of done what he achieved in 100 years..Good on him anyway..
emotionally wrenching and heart pounding .... on the edge of my seat ...I just love this epicode so much.
A very different prison break from all the other videos. The guards and the state were the criminals, and the other prisoners knew the two were on the right side. It's one where you empathize with the imprisoned, not wait to see their recapture, unlike the other videos.
+Rhiannon K I actually sympathised with most of them. Remember the guy who escaped to meet his dying father ?
@@YRVoltaire Missions Accomplished: And Some Funny Business Along the Way
Nice breakout for life...
They r lucky because there was no cameras
what an insightful observation!
Maybe because it was 1978 and they didn’t have cameras then....
like he doesn't know that :/
Synth Ovine ok just because cctv was available in Germany does that mean it was available in South Africa? I mean it didn’t seem a super secure jail as the front door lead onto the streets no fences, 1 guard, same keys for multiple locks so I mean everyone can get info on google about when the first cctv was used but you can’t google common sense
+Synth Ovine stop
These things are made with more skill and talent than most Hollywood movies.
Amazing. Thank you gents for fighting so hard and risking everything for the Freedoms we enjoy in South Africa today. Proud to have met you in person Tim. Such an unassuming Hero.
Man can do alot, but men can do anything if we stick together.
June Guigue I agree!!!
Amen
One woman and all those doors will be automatically opened lol
June Guigue amen
If we broomstick together...
The background music is FREE SOUTH AFRICA BY PASCAL DANAE.
Thanks alot
@@Shubham-fk5oq you're welcome. The last time i checked, it wasn't available on any other platform but spotify, not even yt had it
WHY WOULD ANYONE DISLIKE THIS
The humming theme music was simply awesome nd kindda nostalgic 1 . Anybody who had ghoosebumps after listening the theme(humming) music ?? It brought me back hear on youtube to search just becoZ of the music that i heard years ago when i first saw breakout it used to be televised by national geographic channel those days!! Loads of love to the cast nd crew memba nd especially to the music artist who made such a nostalgic wonderdul theme music.
Dude whats the name of the music??
I’m here after seeing the previews for the film in 2020
Keys out of wood, that's actually really genius.
Amazing Tim. Your patience, intelligence and calm approach got you out. How you didn't collapse with nervousness I will never understand. Well done sir!
The music the warden put on was perfect for this escape btw this is the first episode I’ve watched that the prisoners escaped without being caught
Wats it called
THAT took brass balls and, just as importantly, iron discipline to remain calm and collected in very trying circumstances........
Nah! It's been confirmed! It took wooden balls!
Tim Jenkin, serious question... are you happy with how things have turned out in South Africa? Will you continue to live in South Africa even when it becomes a second Zimbabwe?
This is my 3rd time watching this..an it still has me at the edge of my seat...pure Genius..
Thanks for putting this video out there. Amazing escape. That african choir at the end is amazing too.
Unlocking his cell from inside and trying it for like 2 months the patience the intelligence unbelievable 🤯
WOW, the broom stick idea is so MacGyverish, it's amazing to be able to go through such a door
Hands down that was the best prison escape I've seen here.
The key with the broom part blew my mind, never gave up, genius!!!!
Great story, I held my breath for the entirety. I did wonder about the wooden keys durability, as he used them so frequently, and was delighted when they withstood. X
The best TV shows in my life;I ever saw.& also the best episode. ✌✌✌
Reza Islam Shuvo is there any more espiodes of breakout
For years i have came back to this documentary to see if anyone had found the song name, and to see it has finally been found after all these years has made me so happy.
This has to be the best ever escape in history. You know it is when the escapee uploads the escape video!
This was nerve wracking just to watch. I can't imagine how these guys felt.
Even watching a movie it's very breathtaking
oooohhooo amazing guys the best tv episode of my life unbeleavible work wow what an escape.
Teachs to never give up no matter how hard the situation is
I got to witness part of this movie being filmed yesterday starring Daniel Radcliffe 😭😭 I can’t wait till it’s out so I can watch the scene that I watched in real life lol
Niiyèll D Lucky!
Since last 3 years i am finding the name of song played in last...If guys know about it plz share it for the sake of humanity
Vaibhav Vaidya i know it
Dylan Colenutt tell me the name...plzz
Vaibhav, if you're still looking for the song, it's called Pascal Danae - Free South Africa!
Ride of the Valkries by Vagner ....
“It was a maximum security prison.” That allows us to freely walk around, allows us to bring supplies from the workshop, has a workshop, has a key hole in cell, lazy guards and not one thing resembling a maximum security prison.
LOL! So much for the purported evil apartheid regime.
Remember, this is 1976 were talking about
_Boss move. Ma man uploaded his own escape on his own Channel._
_Also wrote a book, give speech about the escape around the globe._
just watched the new movie about your escape! you guys are just unbelievably awesome ... i bow down to your strong will. what a huge inspiration
Wow what a powerful story....
who is here after ESCAPE FROM PRETORIA trailer ,Daniel Radcliffe ?
Name of the book?
I'm just here to know how they really escape and I watched the movie but I wanna watch the real thing happened
Absolutely fantastic and amazing real-life story !!!
I must say, my heart was in my throat, throughout the whole time of watching 👀 !! 😰
What a real clever guy, making those keys !!😊
I have been searching for this episode for years...
Thanks a lot...
This soundtrack sends chills down the spine,,awesome prison break
i remember watching this when I was 12
good times
This escape was beyond brilliance.....I'm so glad they made it! WOW!
Thank you all of you for you Heart Courage and contribution to the cause ♥
Tim, this is an interesting, exciting, daring escape! And for me to be able to comment to an actual escapee is really cool. :) It must have been nerve racking for you guys, knowing that if you got caught, that all of the work was for naught, AND they would have put you in solitary confinement AND they would have lengthened your sentence. Nerves of steel going through 10 doors of steel.
What a Perfect Prison Break Out, Creativity, & Patience Really Worked. Very Nice Learning Curve, Either Way They Did What One Would Have Done. 12 years Sentence became 18 months.
This is an extremely inspiring story. You are a hero to many.
Thanks for the book link , Tim. I'm looking forward to read it :)
"Maximum security" indeed, wow, so many flaws in their system. Then again, it was the 70's far before maximum security turned into what it is today. No cameras to worry about.
Finally an actual escape.. that's what I'm talkin bout. OG STYLE!
props to the cameraman for not ratting them out
You definitely have me on the edge of my seat. I almost bit my nails of when the key wouldn't come out. Really good upload. Thanks for quality television.
That was intense. My heart racing fast.
Who's here after trailor of escape of Pretoria
Me.
I feel fortunate to have worked next to brave and intelligent men like Cde Tim Jenkins, unspoken revolutionaries and heroes in the fight against apartheid. Silent waters run deep indeed.
There is exactly "Escape from Pretoria" movie with real person narration, even some of the shots are using the same angles.
I wonder what they think of South Africa now.
Another nostalgic pro-Apartheid. Why you don´t move to Brazil? You would love the goverment.
@@juanmanuelsarasa6360 It's a fair question. But you obviously don't think it should even be asked.
my salute to Tim jenkin and I would also like to know how u reached Europe after your escape from prison
Oh yeah yeah Car? Dipshit
I just finished watching the movie on my firestick. AMAZING. Looking you up brought me here. Being from 🇳🇬 i heard about this.
I just watched the movie so of course I immediately Dashed to TH-cam and just got done watching the 2017 LockCon conference. It was very entertaining to say the least, first you and Stephen should have never went to jail, neither should have that guard for 6 months. At the end of the LockCon conference if anyone would have asked what’s the key to freedom, all they could have done is watch at the end and see there’s that pic of you holding that key 🔑. There’s only one thing I don’t understand, you said when you first got to prison you hid that money for 3 months, but you were in prison over a year, so you took it out after the first 3 months and had it out the remainder of the year?
You’re story is very inspirational, I’m glad y’all got out.
