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.

Met Denzil and one of his brothers Rungu (Rowen) about 20 years ago.. Such dynamic individuals we did ministry work together on SU Camps sooo passionate about the word of God and making a real impact! His wife Roxanne such a light and dynamic individual. Keep making an impact Denzil!!

I chopped a few onions when he shared about his conversion. God bless the young man who saved his life.

"I am not going to give up my life for something that won't give me life" what a beautiful thing to say😢😢😢😢😢💖 "Stand in a gap"

Maybe I missed the question.. Has he ever seen that boy in the car again.. This guy gave me hope at my weakness today.. I was in tears with this story.. Love and light to the good you doing.. I'm in recovery 13 years now and this story just gave me more hope and faith just for today

I do not think that the boy was a human being. God's ways!

Denzel must come back for a second installment. Much is missing from his amazing story, like his relationship with the small boy who prayed for him. Good job

Lol i was a big boy but those words kicked my wind out. What a great story and he is a good story teller. Have a fruitful life Denzil

I met Denzil and he shared his story, he is a good Person and also a miracle.

So inspiring man. It's never too late to live the rest of your life.

Denzil is an awesome human, what a story we are lucky to still have him!

“I’m not going to give up my life for something that’s not going to give me life” This hits deep😬

you doing an amazing job on the podcast man, you know exactly what we want and who we want to hear

Absolutely love the podcast! Please keep doing what you doing.

In my eyes bro you are a social worker now and even more certified because you can literally relate to all the things happening in your community and I’m sure when you tell your story there are gonna be people who listen and change because of your story. More life and blessing g

This is so inspiring. Keep on doing what you are doing bro. These podcasts are going to make a difference in many people's lives. Thank you, and God bless.

Such a powerful story! Thank Thank for sharing Denzel and thank you Josh for your platform 🙏

I feel so glad I STUMBLE into your channel, thats great work.

Came from your youtube short and watched the whole podcast. Denzil has an incredible story and you did good interviewing him in a way that allowed him to tell it.

Josh your killing it man I love these podcasts your doing and the guests you are choosing to have on. You don’t talk over guests or have an ego to prove it’s refreshing and I think you will be very successful. Keep up the good work brother, blessings from Melbourne, Australia

Thank you for these podcasts. Youre doing something ive always wanted to do. Love hearing these stories.

You have created something beautiful. I usually dislike any South African creators just because they do KZread wrong But you have blown my expectations out the window. I hope to see this channel hit 100k subs next year ❤️

Loved this podcast dude!!! Honestly believe that social programs, giving young kids hope and really believing in second chances is one way to help kids get out of this viscous cycle. Big up Denzil!!

Hectic storytelling guys. So sincere when he couldn't pull the trigger. God bless you all. May we ask have safety and security in the days months and years ahead. Amen

Thank you for your amazing interviews mate! 💯

This interview is just jaw dropping - like it’s like a pin drop silence jaw dropping!! Thank you Denzil for your story and inviting us into your Journey! It’s real life issues and real life everyday shit that we take for granted - when our life is going a certain way. So important to have faith in God, and to be living a life with prayer 🤲 this interview has made my year! Thank you!!!!🙏🙏🙏

We enjoy your work. Keep it coming.

Wow, this was one of the realest interviews I’ve heard. It hits home so hard, man.. l had a hard time getting through it. We all were young boys at one time, before the pain, before the losses. 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. I’m happy this man found his peace and thank you so much

Very good pod cast. This was very easy to listen to. So inspiring. God is good ❤️

Thank you for this great interview. And glad you got to tell it Denzil. Thank God for second chances.
