I love what you're doing. But is there nothing more to Coloured peoples culture, history and identity than gangsterism? Are there no other voices to be heard other than gangsters and former gangsters? Is there no other representation for Coloured people?

Thank you Denzil for the inspiring words I'm from Mitchell's Plain and in a gang but tried changing my life after I got out serving 8years but temptation was too great but your words are much greater and it gives life.. .i got to the point where I no longer involve myself In negative stuff and with doing so friends are few but that is a good thing for me now I can focus on improving myself in becoming a better man. Thanks Denzil and Josh for this positive vibes.

When he said, he didn’t care about other people’s lives because he felt like no one was left who cared about him.. that’s the best explanation of what creates a killer.
