As a warden currently working at Pollsmoor Prison, I can tell you prison truly is like university, it's a mind boggling place that will constantly surprise and humble you, just as you think you have it figured out. Great podcast
Wow I enjoyed it so much and thank you for reminding us again the hero we had that sacrifice so much for our country to be free. Some moments was emotional especially talking how old Mandela and the comerades was and continue not give up regardless the brutal circumstances🥺. We need more Mandela's I'm South Africa. Lots of love and support from a South African living in France and thank you to the prison gaurd speaking his truth and put his humanity first. Thank you for creating this channel so informative♥️
Loved this bro, President Mandela was the best president in history. I look up to him up to this day. He may be gone but will never be forgotten. I miss president Mandela. These parties we have now and their leaders are rotten.
This is an exceptional human being. Not many people had his outlook on life and people when he was young. Need to educate people to be empathetic and rational
The most feared prisoner by the apartheid gvt was Robert Sobukwe. He was kept alone in robben island and was never allowed to mingle with any prisoner. When he was released, he was banished to Kimberly instead of his eastern cape home. He received an offer to lecture at Harvard, but the apartheid gvt refused him the passport.

Imagine how many people wouldn't commit crimes, if they knew they had to go to jail and do non stop hard labor, or not eat. There would be no one in jail haha
Careful apartheid is still a sensitive topic and should be discussed with equal dialogoue between two races not one...how do we know the accuary of this story
In my mind Jesus sits on one side of God and if any man who lived sits on the other side it is Nelson Mandela. He was so good it's difficult to understand such goodness......
You are looking for a foot print to launch your podcast. Deal with present SA and let the back ridden pre1994 as the past. You want to score at the cost of South Africans

Thank you for being the most cutting edge podcast in the country this channel rocks
Certain episodes are just too good to not watch it again! #nr3
Only found this channel 2 weeks ago and I’m loving the podcasts
Tuning in from the UK 🇬🇧
Same, I also found it about 2 weeks ago and have binge watched over 10 episodes already!
This was a great and well conducted interview ❤ 👏🏾👏🏾
Amazing story. Very grateful this is shared so we can all learn from it.

Mandela would turn into his grave if he would know what happens in his country today. He was such a clever, gentle giant.
My grandfather and his cousin were in charge of the prison at that time, and their families (including my mother) lived there with them on the island.
God bless this man ❤
Loved every second of it🙌🏻👏🏼💯
What an interesting podcast. This is my 3rd time I followed your podcast. Amazing. Thank you.
Tuning in from Germany. Luv your work !
The guy are right.I was a cook in pollsmoor prison in1985 and had the privilege of serving Mr Mandela his breakfast one morning on the roof 👍
You really have the best guests
Sweet. I will bite. Second interview I have watched and I have found them both very interesting. Good job boet! Sub'd.
Need more of these! Thanks Josh!

WOW! I really enjoyed this Podcast it was so interesting.
This beautiful. Local podcast I can relate to.
I read his book. Very inspiring. I forgot the title.
The way Mandela suffered makes me cry
May his beautiful soul rest in peace
I would like to know if the gentleman remembers a warden that was attacked when prisoner's tried to escape. He was my dad's brother.
Siya Kolisi understand the Mandela assignment. He gets what a win means for the entire south Africans
Love from Cape Town! Bro

WOW Amazing
You should do a interview with Alison botha
Yes, Alison Botha’s trials, tribulation and journey to live again would be an eye opening, heart rendering podcast.

Why dont the schools teach the children about all the wrong they did instead they just point out the good things
Because they were valorised as heroes and so few know they were killers.

So you're of the opinion that discourse shouldn't take place here on the basis that they're both white? lol
All races experienced apartheid. Depends which side you where in. It's interesting to see our history through different lenses
What are you on about. . . . Eff supporters are always looking for racism where there is none. 😒
In my mind Jesus sits on one side of God and if any man who lived sits on the other side it is Nelson Mandela. He was so good it's difficult to understand such goodness......
Do you even know why Mandela was imprisoned?
