Adam's Journal

Today’s experience in the program was quite eye opening, with what I shared today about what I remembered about when I was young. Also with the movie Tsotsi we got to see not only that happens to the criminal but also to the victims. It showed how a hard badly abused boy who through one of his crimes comes face to face with a baby and over time how he takes care of the baby. How the caring of the baby reawakened his humanity, how the he started to care for other people and did not want to do crime again. However at the end I understand that the ending was cut short so we did not get to see that tsotsi died got shot by police. Some people may not agree with me but the real end where tsotsi was killed represents the Governments look at a criminal. Even if you go to prison get rehabilitated, get released and you start to do good you still get treated like a criminal until the day you die.



Dialogue with my victims

There is so much to say and no words which can ever ease the pain and hurt. The only thing I can do is place my life in your hands and let you decide what to do with, if you want my life take it for it is the least I can do.
