• 0:00
  Speaker 1: For some, prison is where it ends. For all, court
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: is where it begins. This ain't no TV show. This
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: is the real world. And this is what's happening at
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the courthouse on KFM Mornings with Ramiz.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: So Weinberg it is, let's get it on.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Ramiz is outside there asking everybody one simple question.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: What are you doing at the courthouse today? I'm there
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: for a question. You told me that you were framed
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: for something that you didn't do. Someone got shot, you
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: were with someone else, you were saying that that person
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: did it, and they thought it was you. Yes.
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: We were walking there, that side, buying guns.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Did this guy that you knew have a gun on him?
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I never knew he had a gun on him.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: Is this your friend, this guy?
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: Yes, he's my friend. After everything he's done, he's back
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: on me, he say.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: It's me.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: So he turned state witness against you, saying that you
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: shot someone?
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because I spent three years, almost three years here
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: in prison.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: You went to prison?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: And when I come out.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: This year, I'm out now almost six months. Two months ago,
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: they shot me in my head. The bullet is still
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: in my head, my right side of my head.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: What?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: They shot me.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: It's still in your head now?
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: It's still in my head.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I can't remove it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: If they remove it, they can't put the pieces back.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: So you're lucky even to be alive.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, you can feel it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: No, I'm not going to feel. Just in case I
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: move something and then.
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: They say it will move after three years. Then it
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: will come this side by my neck side. Then they're
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: going to operate it.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, and then they're going to remove it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: How did you get shot? What happened?
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: I really don't know.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I tried to figure it out.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: You don't know who did it to you either?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: It's my friends.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Because the day I stopped being with the gangsters, so
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: that's why they're doing this to me.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, so they're basically saying that you don't want to
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: be with us, then you can't be anymore. But look now,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: you're living with a bullet in your head.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: They trapped me.
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: They trapped me to shoot you in the head.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: So when you came out of jail, your gangster friends,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: they shot you?
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: You were arrested. You spent time in jail for three
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: years for doing nothing.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: I get me a lawyer. My auntie put me on
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: a lawyer. We're so busy with the case.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: No, man, but how can you be sitting in jail
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: for three years?
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Because we're waiting for the witnesses to come.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Did you not get any bail?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I'm out on a bail.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: But I'm talking about three years ago.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: No, I had other cases.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, so you were naughty.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was before.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: You basically then turned your life around after you got shot.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Because I had to open my eyes to see the
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: future in front of me. Because if I'm going to
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: live that life, it's not going to be a benefit
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: for me. I can do nothing now because I'm getting
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: a grant from SASA.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Due to the bullet.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: In my head.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: Oh!
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: It's a permanent grant. How much is that?
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: 2,419. The bullet in your head actually helped you?
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: That gunshot actually helped me. It wasn't my time. That's
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: why I say my life is in Allah's hand.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: What if these people come for you again?
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: No, they won't come for me again.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Because I don't want to make a case against them.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: I know who shot me. But I'm not going to retaliate.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: I just want to be out of it, yeah.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Thank you very much for your time, sir.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Thank you. What are you doing at the courthouse today?
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: To defend my business.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: I have a responsibility as owner and director to stand
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: up for it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: How many people work for you? Four people. It's a start-up.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: I've been through this many times. Okay.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: The organization that I'm defending myself against is breaking the law.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: There's stipulation in the contract that I have with them
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: to follow due process if there's a dispute. They totally
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: ignored it and just came straight to court.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: And which contract is that?
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: It's a tenant agreement for.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: A front-end shop. They want you out?
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: They want me out for reasons they only themselves understand.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: Because that space had failed many times before.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: My business runs both outside and inside. And the shop
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: is really just a display space. of what I offer.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Do they have a problem with the product you sell?
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Are you making spectacles? Yeah, I design them.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: I make it of the best materials and I give
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: it to ordinary people who would have had to pay
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: 8,000 rand.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: To put this in and this and that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: And I'm competing not only with the landlord, but also
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: the industry who's like, why are you making these things
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: available at such a low rate? I have to deal
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: with people who come into my store who pretend to
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: be buyers, and they are qualified doctors. They want to
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: block it and retain it, but retail is not a
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: doctor's right. But also what has happened is, It's turned
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: into a service. And that's the part I'm very excited about,
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: so that I can give people access to a product,
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: make it possible for every person like me who would
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: ordinarily have not had the opportunity to pay for the
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: product that I offer. So I feel like that platform
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: is essential for more reasons than.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Just making money. Does the landlord have grounds to put
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: you out?
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: If you take the law into your own hands, then
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: you're operating illegally on your own. My business is not
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: going to be subject to your bias and you'll follow
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: due process.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: And at some point we'll meet each other. I've been
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: here many times. I've lost in business many times. I've
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: gained and I've lost and I've gained. But one of
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: the things that I've come to understand in the new era,
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: there's so many tools that provide information. I came here
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: today without a lawyer for the first time. I am
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: my own lawyer, my own courier. The lady upstairs, she
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: was educating me that I can't serve papers without a signature.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: I said, Thank you very much. It's all about education.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: But it's also education to the landlord. The people who
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: sit on the properties in the buildings are not the
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: people who need access to economical inclusion.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: So I am willing.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: To redirect my thoughts away from emotional responses and to
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: take the system into my own hand in my favor.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: This is exciting for me. To defend something that I
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: created is exciting.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm 58 years old. It's exciting. I didn't ask
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: for the age, but it's okay.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: It's exciting to be alive with purpose. It's exciting to
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: live for others. I want to be known by whoever
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: sent me here that I stood up for my rights.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: It should be fair, so we should use the systems
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: and knowledge and everything. And that's why you're here at
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: court today? Yeah, to fight for people like me. Thank
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: you very much for your time, sir.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: What an incredible man there at the end.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Good for him.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Just because he's selling spectacles.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Not just selling spectacles, wanting to make it accessible for
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: people who can't afford it. Who would want to block that? Well.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: So many.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of corporate wars that go on.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: But did you notice how excited he sounds?
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Extremely.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And it's because he's got a purpose.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: He's fighting and living not just for himself.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was a beautiful... I.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Think this might have been my favorite courthouse this year.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Thank you. Also, why are you not touching that man's... No, no.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Bullets. Bullets. For research purposes.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: What if I.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: The bullet in the head.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: I'm saying if I touched it and it moved and
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: now this man.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: No.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: He told you it will only move in three years' time.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: No. Then you would have been gentle.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I'm sure.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Missed opportunity.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, missed opportunity there.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: You know that's his party trick. Yeah, no.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: He was keen for you to just.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Catch my bullet. Other people say they can lick their face.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Check how long my tongue is.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: That man's got a bullet. He's got a bullet. And
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: could you see the impression? You could see it, yes.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: So it's on the skull side.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: But how incredible is the human body? Just wait and
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: it'll move to a safer place. It'll push it out.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: It's like a splinter.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So that we can operate.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Body is incredible.
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Now listen, let me tell you something about corporate. You
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: think your boss walking around you, ah, he's got a
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: tie on.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: He's a serious person.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you about what happens in America. So
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I've got to be a bit scant with the detail here.

  Speaker 3: 2 million dollars a year.

  Speaker 4: The guy that got shot, that is the reality of
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: a lot of poise, especially in Mitchell's Plain and Mansburg.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And everybody tried everything.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: What else can we do? Me, personally, being from Mitchell's Plain,
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: made it out. But it's a sad reality that it's
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: a daily thing. Do you have a bullet in your head?
