Us who have been once addicted to something we appreciate this documentary... I pray that everyone fighting addiction to win the battle
i was once n addict 8 years but now m clean working n takin care of my kids
@@tshepangpheko8104 Let's remember Guys who are addicted to something in pray
Pray to who. If it's the European Christian god then you are wasting your time. If it's the Arab god of the Muslims you are also wasting your time. There are African herbs, teas, leaves, roots and plants that one can eat to stop addiction immediately.
You don't know that Mother Nature is the greatest healer???
Instead, you run to these foreign gods of your enemies and you take their medicines 💊 and pills that make you sick, co-dependant and make you into another drug dependant addict.
Wake up Africans!
Their gods are NOT our gods. Go back to communicating with your ancestors. That's why they taught us NOT to communicate with our ancestors. But some of you are TOO foolish to see the Christian/Muslim lies to pray to their gods🤔🙄
@@tshepangpheko8104 god bless you. I am not religious and I’m only a very young adult but it takes integrity and strength to be clean, stay strong 💪
its crazy because the addicts are so well-spoken indicating that they come from decent backgrounds but because of the drug use they look nothing like the homes they come from.
I love how BBC uses the locals to tell their stories. So well articulated, so sad.
This is not a South African accent, this narrator is more likely Zimbabwean or Eastern Africa or is of that decent
@@ratiafterhours1221 He is a South African reporter mara.He usually covers stories in Jozi.I think he grew up here
Reratilwe Kwena Moloko remember one can be a South African citizen through naturalization.
@@ratiafterhours1221 He is definitely not Zimbabwean but most likely of Malawian or Zambian origin or to a lesser extent East African countries like Tanzania, Uganda etc judging by the way he pronounce words like 'and' or 'had'. The drug dealer sounded West African, probably Nigerian. Obviously he is legally South African (the journo) but I have have absolutely no doubt going by his accent, he was not raised in South Africa, at least his language formative years.
This guy is not even south African, I used to respect the BBC but this the second time they lie to their viewers I'm done!
Jesus' recovery was such a fantastic story. Even when using you could see his intelligence and good manners. Best of luck to him and his family. Thank you and kudos Golden.
You don’t get over an addiction by stopping using. You recover by creating a new life where it’s easier to not use. If you don’t create a new life, then all the factors that brought you to your addiction will catch up with you gain.
wow. such valuable insights.
Wow, what you said makes sense. Thanks for the insight. ❤
Well said...
Nyaope is spiritual, it's a demonic spirit. I was smoking nyaope, the rehab couldn't help me. I went to rehab 3 times but always get back to nyaope. I was helped by church through prayers without any medication. I'm 6 years clean now.
thanks for sharing your story! may God protect you ever
Your determination did
This is the true,
Glory to God
a sense of community will do that
This is the second documentary I am watching from you Golden Mtika. You did not just tell a story, you helped Jesus find his way back to a more promising future.
Great job. Keep at it. I am personally inspired to try and do more for others in my community.
Golden Mtika has been exposed as a fraud in South Africa, because he paid people to act in his scripted film about a serial rapist.
Jesus loves you❤
And always remember He's got your back
Jesus is such a sweet guy. So much love in his heart. I literally almost cried when he reunited with his mum. Wishing you light and love! Thank you BBC!
I was already shedding tears for real.
I was already weeping when he met his young sister, by the time he met mum....i was wailing
How can he be sweet? he said he would shoot or stab people just to get high. He need Jesus Christ to set him free from those Demons as he did to me.i almost took my own life but then I called out to Jesus Christ and then I saw that Christ is alive to save all of us.Lord please save my brother Jesus from this drugs Amen
@@winstonmiller6210 he is already jesus himself
I actually cried,such a good documentary.All the best Jesus❤️
God!! Am in tears....I lost the mother of my child to drugs...Everyday I wait and hope she returns....This video just made me realize how much i wanna help addicts and implement a positive change..
Sorry for that bro.
Hugs
Tears..Jesus I’m praying for you hugs and congrats...I’m 5 years clean it feels amazing
i realize it is kinda off topic but does anybody know a good site to watch new tv shows online ?
@Rafael Albert Flixportal =)
@Kyng Elian thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it !!
@Rafael Albert Happy to help =)
I’m trying to get sober and stay sober but everybody around me uses I have no one to talk to to talk me out of using when I’m craving
Mr.Golden, can you please do a follow up on Jesus! PLEASE!
This documentary has taken me back to 2017 when my brother hit rock bottom after a combination of drugs and hopelessness. It is now 2 years since he went to rehab, he has been able to fight the addiction. The problem with drug abuse is that it takes one wrong decision, one wrong crowd, for someone to slip into the destructive habit. There is also a fear of relapse if the drug survivor faces challenges that they can't cope with through force of will. Drugs are destroying young men, and women, in Africa.
My dear African brothers and sisters, why does it matter whether the guy is South African or not? An African man is a African man. Lets not focus on nonsensical matters which divide us instead of uniting us. He is a man working for the good of the community he works and lives in, is that not enough for him to be accepted?
True
The guys shouldn't lie for views. Cry our beloved country.
I agree with you. Lying and journalism do not go together!
Yes indeed Kevin Getau, African is an African no matter where you come from we have been migrating throughout Southern East Africa for many generations we are ALL BantuS! 😂💝✌🌎🌏🌍
Good point here we are all one family and we must be united
A journalist who actually cares and serves humanity. I can sleep in peace now.
I'm a kenyan lady...thumbs up gor good job...God save Africa in large
Waona vyenye watu wapotea sababu ya drugs..hapa Germany wakenya wengi ni alcoholics...we Need prayers aki
Kweli
kabisa
Thank God for this documentary. God bless everyone who took the initiative to help the young man to change his life.
I'm proud of Jesus.Hope he doesn't relapse.
He can't he feels what is to be clean
and am just amazed at how fluent his english is...he seem very intelligent..drugs are robbing us of future leaders
bofelo matlhare I noticed the same thing... I wish they spoke about his past to see how he actually got here
when u speak english it means that u are intelligent?think again my dear sister.before white people come to africa we where stupid according to you.
@@stanchauke7332 Why are u offended brav? I don't see the part in her statement that says he seems intelligent BECAUSE his English is fluent.
analyse the statement first before u reply.
@@jaqmatshele4383
DOES FLUENT ENGLISH MAKE U A FUTURE LEADER??NONSENCE
When they starting injecting each other’s blood I started to cringe 😔
That was really hard to watch. Unbelievable.
Its so dangerous but the way they do it lord have mercy
Same here. Frightening as hell.
Jesus meeting his mom got me a bit teary.
Wow! If we can save one brother and sister at a time, that act will eventually saving the nation. Big up's to BBC✊
This is far more than telling a story. A life was turned around and through Jesus many others will turn around.
Well done Mtika.
Aaawww watching Jesus and the Mom 😭😭😭😭
Jesus I wish u all the best
"I'm going to beat it, this game, it's not going to beat me".... Gracious me! Jesus is a f**king smart guy.
This’s tears of joys!! Am full of tears woooooow!! OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST REALLY LOVE ❤️ U !! Stay blessed my dear and continue the good work . AMEN 🙏🇺🇸
This journalist is amazing! Respect to you from Melbourne, Australia
Big up to that rehab centre
I can't stop crying, my uncle is also addicted to nyaope and he looks just like Jesus, when they cut his hair my tears just started falling because I could just see my uncle 😢 i had to push myself to keep watching coz i wanted to see him win. Gos help us😢😢
So proud of this young man. May he continue on his journey & the lord guide & protect him 🙏🏼 ❤
Not all was lost.It is really inspiring to see Jesus' resolve to change and within a few months,a reformed and back to his normal self.Well done you played a major role in his rehabilitation!
Golden, you are doing wonderful, life changing work. Thank you for bringing hope to Jesus and to all those who watch this excellent documentary.
Thank you for saving Jesus and for the work you do Golden 😁👏🏾
Thank you for saving Jesus.....God help African youth 👏
I noticed one thing , South Africans hate foreign people no matter what, this guy is doing a good job trying to help the community and exposing the dark world of drugs and crime but all you hear is "He's not a South African, his accent doesn't sound South African"
To hell with your xenophobic comments.
Focus on the real issue here.
The guy lied a number of times and that's makes people angry. All this just to get views.
how the fuck does drugs reach such area and u wonder why they hate foreigners
As a South African I'm disgusted by their comments and apologize on behalf of other millions of S.Africans who sees beyond nationality
I'm south African and south Africans think they perfect, especially us blacks, I'm sorry.
They think their country is heaven while it's ravaged by drugs
saving the country one Nyaope addict at a time....i salute you Mr Golden
Oh Jesus ,iam a Ugandan...
I have been praying for south Africa...I will continue to pray for them..Oh God save south Africa!
This Documentary hit home. Few of my friends are sleeping in the street because of Nyaope. I know a guy who's only 24 years of age but he's already infected with HIV/AIDS via sharing of blood. It breaks my heart to see my friends in the streets everyday. I tried helping but they are not yet ready. I have lost a lot of close friends to Nyaope. How many good guys do you know who have fallen victim to this drug? It really sadness me that some talents and hopes were killed because of this drug.
Who do we have to blame? Can we blame the government because there's lack of Jobs or can we blame them for getting addicted? 🤔
This story is so painful for me I wish I cn also find some1 to come and help my 25 year old brother who is also a nyaope addict.
I shed a tear when Jesus reunited with his mom. She sounded so happy. Love and peace to then.
I knew the dealer would be Nigerian😂
Noah Brad absolutely 😂😂
Igbo for that matter
Don't take Nigerian to be all shade of bad news, there are millions of Nigerians doing great all over the world.
Look at the positivity!
God bless Africa
@@lasmitcas3847 Nwanem no vex na us igbos dey sell drugs no dey form emotion
Im not gonna talk for all Nigerians but in no of alot of Nigerians that no nothing about this, so it's not fair to judge. We all have a choice
That reunion made me smile. So so sweet.
It’s a sad thing. Drugs hit communities and people hard around the globe. I am so happy to see one get clean and help others. Praying for healing in South Africa when it comes to this addiction.
we dont live on a globe the earth is is a stationary level plane. flat earth

I love this channel! I find myself sharing all that I watch. The people of South Africa have my heart for the last 6 years. I see such strength and I see how just a touch of compassion and help of hope an entire community can change!
Addiction tears people and families apart.
Watching stuff like this makes me thankful of the boring mundane life I live. Don't smoke, don't drink, don't do drugs, don't even own a TV. Reggae, books and food works for me.
Am so happy for Jesus, so happy, brought tears to my eyes. Hope he keeps going strong and helps others to see what he saw and to change...
God save African Youth's from drugs ,as a Kenyan I can relate,Same script different actors.Corruption will be the end of us.😢😢
What a beautiful ending. Thank you for saving Jesus. It's clearly having a ripple effect. I hope that now, one year later, he continues to flourish.
We need to build more cleaner rehabs in SA. We have to save as many addicts as possible.
My whole body aches for this country and the tears won’t stop falling. I pray those that want help get it and those that can’t see a way out God will send someone to intervene!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My goodness! My life unfortunately has always been full of problems. I never experimented with drugs because I never wanted to make my life worse, then it already is. An expensive useless habit! Lord have mercy on those in drug rehab🙏🏽
jesus has such nice Calm Voice it gives you a good feeling listen to him.
Thank you, BBC for these eye-opening documentaries.Am glad Jesus was able to beat his addiction..
MY son was hes protege when he was still in the rap world .....he describes it as losing more than just a friend 'hes like a big brother i never had' he was real heartbroken when CYE BESERK asked him for some money while digging in a trashcan
Thanks for BBC I am African I love African people
as a film student: this is amazing
May God bless you my brother... Thanks for saving Jesus
Top class journalism . Would love to see more .
“I would like to talk to him, but he is too far gone”
This story made me cry thanks for sharing
Im so proud of Jesus. I pray God reaches more addicts
Aw wow Jesus, I am so proud of you, and how you fought those demons. And when you saw your mum again, that is what recovery rewards are about
Praying for you Jesus. May you go from strenght to strenght. You can do it!
Congratulations to Jesus💜🥺
Oh this was very powerful, God bless this man on his journey to change the lives of young Africans.
Withdrawals can be hell!!! You beat that then you’re over the worst
Golden what a great job bro, keep it up you are really changing the communities.......
Thankyou for showing this Video what a shame all the young people addicted to drugs god bless them all 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Omg! I can't hold my tears.
Big 🆙 to the Journalist, you doing a good job, it reaches our hearts & souls as intended.
If you think the documentary is FAKE! take time to reflect on your stand of independent thinking because it's clearly affecting your humanity and the true sense of the South African society😒😔🤔
Mr.Golden thats for sharing with the world,i pray Jesus stay on a good path.Thanks BBC News
Great soul indeed may God always be with you
Jesus is a smart young man.. I hope he succeeds
I really love his English and the accent😢
yo, people are actually going through a lot you know. be thankful.
awesome doc. goodluck Jesus
I felt bad seeing good people going through bad things.
The supplier sounds like he is from west africa just listen carefully even if its muffled
He sure is
Simply he sounds like Nigerian...
Oga
You all need to realize that South Africa just gain their independence not long ago and these people have lived in Tanzania, Malawi other African countries because they were part of if the ANC they have picked up accents from other countries. I don't have an African accent and I am from Mozambique.
No nagerian lives in a township in south Africa... Your uncle is the one who sell this shit to this boy
This just shows that there is always a way out even when you don't think there is
Jesus is king❤🙏🏾

God bless you for helping that guy.
Each one teach one👐👐
A great production and truly an eye opening documentary about the use of the illigitimate use of Nyaope. Lets pray for an end to police corruptìon and more awareness and practical help is given to these poor lost souls that have become addicted.
I loathe these things that weigh us down & break our loved one's hearts.
Awesome video...god bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
We need brother like you my guy (high five for that brother)
