  Speaker 3: everybody one simple question.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: What are you doing at the court house today?
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: I am here for a maintenance issue that's been going
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: on since twenty twenty four. The other parent has not
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: paid any fees.
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: So what happens when you don't pay it?
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: Eventually it goes into an investigation, goes to another court case.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: If they don't show up or they still don't pay,
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: it ends up at criminal court.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: If he doesn't rock up.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: For that specific date, that will.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: End into a warrant of arrest.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: And now that he has been here, the case got
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: postponed to let his lawyer get more details and come back.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: So he's got a lawyer as well well legal aid.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: But yes, lawyer. Okay, yeah, has it been going though?
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Not good because he's working, He's posting about it on
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: social media.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Are taking screen grabs.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: I am, I've been here every month since twenty twenty four.
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: You've been coming here at least once a month for
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: the last two years.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Is it even worth it?
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: I would like to believe that it is, because the
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: justicistem does work. It's just it's slow and steady.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I suppose means the race.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Though it does, and I just don't want to give up.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: I want to see it through because it's been so
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: long now, you know, currently I can't tell you whether
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: I'm at step nine out of eighteen or whether I'm
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: at step nine out of ten. But we're getting somewhere
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: and I can see the outcome. It's just been taking
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: very long.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: It becomes a criminal case that has way more severe
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: consequences than a maintenance case.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: They can lock him up and he still has to pay.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: I read an article where the guy got locked up
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: over weekends and had to go back to work from
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Monday to Friday to be able to still pay his maintenance.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's it is possible. I've never heard of
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: that before.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Just takes a long time, but you need to be
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: willing to do it for the kids.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: Where do you see yourself in another year or tuesdayme?
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: If it doesn't come to fluition.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: At least at the end, it will be that I
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: know that I tried.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Does he see his child?
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: No, he's got a protection order against him.
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, okay, so he can't see the child.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: He hasn't made any effort. He hasn't reached out for
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: the order, he hasn't reached out to actually see his child.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: So he's going to be in a lot of trouble.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: I think it kind of already is, and I think
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: you kind of know that I do. Yeah, thank you

• 3:48
  Speaker 7: More like, the more friends you have, the less chance

  Speaker 7: a family at that side, so that helps you definitely does.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, let's get into your case.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: Then you said that you flee the scene of a crime.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Why did you do that?
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: I was playing uber for the wrong guys some easy
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: cash ended up into them snatching a phone out of

• 4:33
  Speaker 6: just gave someone a left.
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: Yes, I played the fast in the protection of the

• 4:50
  Speaker 7: it against my wall. But I havn't a chance to
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: get out to Karlich the station. So it's been stolen
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: from here. But was it being fixed by this guy?
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: It was meant to be fixed, but then your son's
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: breact the back windscreen and long story is short, the
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: cause not half.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Is what it used to be.
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: So obviously essentially lost the car being in pause more.
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: That's also because they got the transcripts wrong down from
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: joe Burg. They thought that I was on a severity
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: six ks. They've made it innocent his sake, six seven
• 5:19

  Speaker 7: to learn that the underworld and that. But it's also
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: a sickning to find out what people do and think
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: it's okay.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: But now we go back to your girlfriend that you

  Speaker 7: what being daughter like a gangster and oh.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: Daughter, Okay, okay, okay, you don't have to be a
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: daughter to survive.

  Speaker 3: what you're chirping about.
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: Lady must apply for on the basis of economic hardships
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: that she endures as a result of that nonpayment. That
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: is also a remedy in law which is not utilized.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, you get me locked up for a weekend.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: You go, what you do on a Friday after work?
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: It for you go.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Then Monday morning there it issued to go to work
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: the next friday, you go in margin.
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: This guy has a feisty girlfriend, puppy girlfriend.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Daughter, daughter, that brother. I's ober.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Darren at last, guy sounds like you that that sounds
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: so like a Dren story.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Thanks for that court house it was awesome.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I what about now?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the for the translation.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Of No, no, no, guys, I don't buy that guy's story.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: There's a saying in Afrikaans the dealers steeler. This guy
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: is guilty. He's got a track record. No no no, no, no,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: no no no. I don't believe his story.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Say you don't need to be daughter. He's the wide guy.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: It was just played. He's trying to stay a load
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: of us. I don't think that's gonna happen.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: So he's not the daughter. And then I was thinking
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: maybe he's the wife learning the linger. And then guy says, hey,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: this guy's story sounds like mine. No, no, I'll tell
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: you what the difference is. Is that mine not true.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I'm just worried about this, that guy not being anonymous,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: because how many white guys are living in Mitchell's plain.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Because I would imagine a few.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Because he was very gracious, say he shed, but don't worry.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: He's got more streets smart than any of us. No,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: you don't have to be a Dodo to be a man.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't have to be a Meda to be
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: the man.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: That is the quote of the day. So what is it?
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Is it in daughter or.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Daughter? It's like a like a bit of a leader
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: or like a bigger figure in the in prison.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: Oh okay, So you don't have to be that to
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: be a man.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Basically, well, you see, we sit together and we learned together.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: All right, good job remise. That's what's happening at the courthouse.
