• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Mate. What do you do at the courtowns today?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: We're just coming to get a peace order for.
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: But he basically said that he is ADHD, so if
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: that means that his concentration level, it's lower than as
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: someone else who would be basically.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Already he's got this condition and the smoking slow boats,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: and we just said that it might turn into escreet,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: into something much bigger.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's more stronger truck, Maybe the gains.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Would recruit him. So we're not yet to put him away.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: We just want to help him. He's not blessing to everybody.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I think I just spoke to my sister, and I
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: think it's because he did never father figures growing, because.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: His father's been in an out of jail.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: So we a male counter speaks in and he gives
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: her a crassive whenever for female party speaks in.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: His lacks of muscles. They need a source of blessing.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Where's his parents?
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: His father's been in an out of jail. His mom
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: just started a job. She was also a tragedy but
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: then but she's fully recovered. Now it's the lord she's
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: with Jesus. Say yes, ideas, she just went to go work,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: not because it's and jobs are up here to alpha.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Does she also stay in the house with them?
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: They used to stay there, but they moved back because
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: in our community the gang violence is so prevalent. You
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: can't just walk or walk there will be recruited very
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: because of ex condition.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: And we don't want our children.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Of course, of course, does he work, what does he
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: do it? Did you go to school?
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: He used to work, and it was it's I'm in
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: the normal school set up. They didn't what she would respond, well,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: so we went to school of skills. But they didn't
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: say they long because in our area being you need
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: to get to that certain school, there's different gang groups
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: which are waiting for them to recruit them. Of course
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: they learn the children can give you us we can
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: give you that, and they fall easily because it's already
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: their minds. Yeah, it's an easy life, that said, and
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: we do and nobody's telling us what to do it
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: because he's influenced, easily influenced.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: My is it just arguments.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: It is the most it's money because wherever he goes
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: these friends, when they need money, you don't have money.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: So he's got a way of getting money.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: And you know, all the people like eighty five nine yell,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: they are easy talks from the grandma, she would give him,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: but the ninety five or grandpa, it's like what you
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: could I know what you're doing, what you're doing. So
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: it's a contradiction. Now the grandma keeps on the slide.
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: It's as now the grandma and the grandpa are fighting.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: We get involved as well, and we don't want to
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: because when they have an issue, they come to us
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: because we don't want to see it because as well,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: what's gonna happens If outside is easy, what's gonna happen there?
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: So the biggest problem is basically manipulating his grandpavings.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And it's only them. You can't get it right with me?
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Of course, we do give him when we have, but
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: we ask him listening, Yes, Josh, you need to clean,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: you need to let new money, because when he used
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: to work, they pay you today, then it would be
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: like bro the.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Next day, the same day.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Oh no as well, so they see, what's an opportunity
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: to listen as well.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: We're gonna, we're gonna.
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: This is an ATMs exactly. So well, his grandma is
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: probably giving a pinsion money.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: To him when it was just got money.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much for your time. So my pleasures
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: every good day, same plea O God.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: Sure courts are always full with random things. That's your
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: courthouse today. Thank you for me.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: Miles on at his Marshmallow on KF in mornings. First
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: we've got some comments about the courthouse.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: Court house, listening to yep, listening to the young man
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: that needs some help. The biggest issue we have in
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: this country and also globally is unaccountable men.
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: Many times on the table broken, the sun broken, broken, the.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Same tables, like how you ask the questions that we're
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: thinking about just as says we are.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: But shame the poor guy. The gangsters they go for
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: the soft ones.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, whenever I listen to the court house stories, I'm
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: always surprised at how naive I am and what's happening
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: in the city we look at.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, lots of vulnerable people out there and family struggling.
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, true.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: But the man you were speaking to, Ramisi, used to
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: be so grounded and he's kind of holding it together
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: for the family.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Hey he is, Yeah, he is.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: And he is just a family member that's trying to
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: help the grandma.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: That's definitely that's what he's doing. It's a such just
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: so hectic.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: For many of us, we don't ever have to think
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: about gang violence, and for many other people who live
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: in this very city, it's every day something that you
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: have to stress about everyday. Reality.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: You can't walk down the street in your own neighborhood.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: And let me tell you so, I used to do
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: this in joe Burg. When I was on in joe
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: Berg courthouse, right, stories were not as unique as Cape Town.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: The stories were divorced, divorce, crime, divorce, divorced, card jacking, divorced, divorce.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: It was that was it. Yeah, every story has the
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: nuanced its levels. It's quite composite. It's very interesting if
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: nothing else, and you can look and go, well, thank goodness,
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: that ain't me.
