comes to guys skinny jeans are not cute skinny jeans are not hot anymore stop it i'm studying the cream and dress guys no skinny jeans you know i remember wait i don't even know where i was at i think

know guys no no but let's not come for the first surprise that's what i come for just couple of people sure number two i wanna no actually number three i wanna say i actually find it disrespectful that some people don't wear their masks anymore like i mean even though cupcakes said okay shop outside you can just you know but like indoors even i feel like people aren't reading the most like how do you take that either that kind of person's gonna be like guys please wear your mouse i just cool with it no i hear you um i think everyone is just tired of covet no offense i know it's something quite serious we've lost a lot of people with it but it's something that's just been ongoing and i think also the transparency with our government as well where you know especially with young people i think just in south africa is general you're not just government yeah so even cupcake when he said it i mean it's like you know like outside you can but you cannot he's not clear so but i get what he's saying but for me personally guys my ego won't let me i have a big mouth me i'm gonna tell you please especially if you're coughing and your muscles sitting here why not here come on guys no people are getting sick and like i feel like it's also selfish because not only do you not know who this person is going home to but like there's other people around you so i feel like i kind of find it disrespectful but i mean it is what it is guys you know people are different people are different not everybody wants to hear most people are tired of marseille for me who has makeup i i really eat my mouth a lot but i mean you know sometimes gotta cover up i'm not trying to get some doesn't mean to stop the makeup oh dude it's kind of you know you have to thread lightly especially if you're wearing lip gloss very sensitive i know i know michelle can relate to that too with lip gloss i you kind of got just a little bit you don't want your lip gloss to be messed up and stuff yeah because i've seen women masks then it's like the whole it's not a lipstick then it's just bro it's brown the foundation no guys we don't want that or something you know sometimes that's why i say prefer i also prefer a black mask sure because the the the blue one it's very transparent inside is white why um they can see my lip gloss from outside on my lipstick don't like that yeah i don't like that but like guys please let's wear our moss let's stay safe like oh covert is still a big thing like i personally feel because when i had covered i had covered on my birthday last year sure and it was terrible and like i have a hot mama so it's a hole in my heart so she thought i was gonna die you have a heart my mom oh okay i don't know what that is maybe you can expect a hole in my heart okay yeah so i've had it since i was born because i was a premature baby so yeah with that going on but i mean guys please i just don't find it disrespectful just finding really disrespectful but let's move on ladies and gentlemen you know i was i was on i think i was on instagram when i was looking through like my pandava and stuff and what's going on and i found out um dost is actually gonna stop well not stop but he's taking a break from music for for trying like he's trying to focus on his mental health so i think that's a big thing what is your take on that yeah mental health is is something very very very serious i work a lot with young people from youth yeah um youth in church from community development from even my coaches in fact i've got three coaches i've got a qriket coach a netball coach and a soccer coach and they're going through hectic depression the netball coach was hospitalized because of depression and mental health yeah and this is like a mother of three and she's like a great coach but it's it's people are going through the most you know so mental health is something very serious because a lot of times that's what leads to suicide and we can see that's becoming something very very serious as well so i mean i was engaging someone that we need more counsellors social workers not more law enforcement but we need more people so people can speak but yeah that's a very very serious topic yeah and also i think it's very i found it really cool like my reaction was different compared to other people other people were like those guys but i was like actually this is a very good decision because you saw we saw what happened to ricky guys nobody knew what he was going through and then it ended up in a situation where it's like suicide guys oh that that was just very hectic and when i found out because i don't know i don't think i'm gonna say what what was happening but like i was very very surprised but i kind of predicted it at some point i was i was talking to my friend and i was like chama i was going through his instagram i was at a house and i was showing her something because we're prepping for cotton face and stuff and i was like chama if ricky dies it's over for the youth monday we get the news i was surprised guys so i think mental health is very it's very interesting that some artists actually like take it serious because some other artists would really just hold it in and just keep moving because you got to get the bag you got to keep it pushing you know so i mean i'm just glad that doc is taking a break and he's saying this is because even though there was a video going around he fainted on fatigue because of fatigue as well and stress and he even said guys there's a lot going on so i think it's a great idea that he's taking himself seriously because i mean if you're not in the right mental space then how you're gonna be good to people how you're gonna produce what you need to produce you know your craft and everything gotta be serious so i say shout out to those for doing that because guys you know we're gonna miss you brad but just get well get well because you need to you need to make sure you're okay because if you're not okay sure how are you how you gonna work yeah i know definitely you know definitely so that's a big thing that's a big thing but another thing i heard caspar is taking anarchy back to the studio do you know yeah i know wasn't he big now he lost weight he's been trying to break into the industry um but i hear he's a good producer but yeah i was very i was very surprised when i heard he stopped music apparently because cyber bullying and stuff like that i never really just disappeared he disappeared he deleted his instagram everything i was like yo i was surprised but i mean you know shout out to him let's hope we have some nice things cooking up in the studio with caspar yeah yeah but shout out this shout out big time what else did i hear i heard uh this this hey guys this thing has been trending for a while drake and waffles and i was thinking to myself what if drake and ruffles you know become a thing very dope how are we going to react to it well that'll be very very very dope um it's yeah i think i'm i'm not going to be surprised but i think the world's going to be shocked you are waffles oh dj with drake yo guys very good question yeah it's very good we never know we never know but shout out shout out big time but now let's get into the interview just to get into things real quick who is jack tell us a little bit about you bro yeah it's like an interview question that's a hectic one come on because whenever they ask you that question it's like what do you start the thing is with that question it's it's a lot of times we define ourselves by what we do oh yeah so it's like who has checked then i'm gonna tell you everything that i do but i don't tell you who i am yeah i'm very loud um but at the same time i am the most chilled person apparently i choke a lot that's what the people i work with people who are close to me apparently a clown a lot but i know when to take leadership i know when to to take things very serious so i i would say jack is a chilled chilled person a swati boy born in south africa that's where my family comes from got royal blood king [Music] [Applause] but jack is is very passionate he's passionate about young people he's passionate about transformations zealous about god and i am an optimist like optimus prime i am i love anime yeah and i take things very lightly but at the same time my perspective is is also quite serious especially in changing things and transforming things okay so that's that's that's who jack is so yeah so how did jack how did jack get into corinthians and what inspired corinthians 100 corinthians was never planned you know i remember also speaking to tabang i've known him for quite some time it's we had moved into south hills in 2012 i was in monash university i don't know if you know monash i've heard of monash yeah it's very expensive um australian university in south africa and roddy but so i'd left cairs which is a boys school then i went to monash but due to financial things my mom owned property here in town okay so they hijacked the property we had now a rent to buy type of house in south hills yeah i don't know if you've ever heard of south hills i have i have you've been to southeastern nah okay so south hills is almost like a type of el dorado park okay it's it's a colored colored base type of community black people there flats but then one road divides it like the flats then there's a house houses suburbs it's a suburb okay but it's it's it's like an elders type of suburb all right you know these flats the colors are there then the black people and stuff so it's like a mixture you know and so we moved into into south hills and i dropped out because of financial reasons okay and then i just found myself playing street soccer one part what's about one party yeah have you played ron paula what is it when you have to kick the ball once and touch it once and if you touch it oh one touch yeah okay okay no i used to like playing it but like i would never mark because i was behind my brother's like okay fine we'll do it for you we'll do it for you seriously you you you're very special so so we're playing one bar yeah and i was very very good at football and so the kids saw me play and then they're like oh can you teach us how to to play basically okay and so we played and i was just showing them flames and then they're like can you take us for a session at the park i was like no you know i was just not in a good space and then they kept on asking so i took them to the closest park from the street i took them to a park we opened up in prayer okay ran a session and then i started speaking into their lives so i saw myself basically addressing them because the colored kids were not passing the ball to the black kids oh yeah i understand and then the other black kids were also with the colored kids there was like some racial thing happening there so i set them down and i told them about basically playing as a team love respect and all those type of things and yeah unity yeah and i thought that was it next week 12 players hitting my gate coach training session i was like these kids corinthians okay that was the beginning it was never planned so it was just playing from one palace trading going to the park the kids came back and we never stopped we gained momentum till today yo so do you think what do you think inspired these kids to even feel like they want to just do this do you think they know they had an idea of corinthians well they're just like nah somebody's guys yeah so so the same kids um because the the the age group was very different so in in south fields we have a big drug problem a very big drug problem so one of them was like 17 18 struggled basically escalating families abusive it's hectic so he would chill economy i don't know if you know those ones give me that you know so what happened is they would basically because the unemployed they've dropped out of school um they would make money by shipping drugs everyone talks about the consumption of drugs no one talks about the ship the shipping of drugs so for every drug you ship in south heels at that time it was two rand then it ran up to five friend so if you shipped five times you're getting 25 rent that's good money yeah i understand and the kingpins you don't see the kingpin yeah when you plummet in on bc drag 25 randy so imagine you're shipping at least 10 times 50 but now the same kids are coming through for football and they're talented and i'm speaking into their lives so what made corinthians very different is i went through so much failures that i was able now to basically mentor these kids okay and see the talent in them because i wanted to be professional and basically from there i started developing their skills speaking into their lives and i was very invested in who they are okay so for them this was like wow he doesn't care or benzene is fighting no mama but here's this guy who's invested in what i love which is soccer and what i want to become so and they started becoming committed so i started killing the supply chain yeah of all those kids who were shipping so have you ever had problems with one of your players like have they ever have you ever had a situation where you see that this is this could be a star and they just choose not to like go that way and they'd be like you know what ball is not for me i'm not going to do this have you ever had a situation where you were like you know what i see so much in this kid but like now i'm just giving up you know one of the most painful stories i'm just thinking about a player of mine his name is tyrese who's the short-colored kid you know yeah and he was he was phenomenal he joined corinthians at the age of 10 if i'm not wrong it was very very short at the time i had an under 15 under 17 team at the age of 10 he was playing with under 17. and i remember we're playing against these big players and he was one-on-one with the goalkeeper as short as he is yeah he chipped the goalkeeper and the goalkeeper's like way bigger than him yeah everyone went crazy yeah when i think about him for me i was like this is perfana and so many of them but he was a special talent at 10 at just 10. at 10 he was like a super super special talent but the sad part is as soon as he grew and he went into high school and then basically the environment of south hills basically got consumed and then yeah i occupied we're talking about suspensions about rims and he started doing drag racing and unfortunately i think it was in december he was in a car accident and he passed away yo so sorry for that man yeah and that was a special talent for me you know that was i work with a lot of kids but you know that one i was like that's that's a real madrid barcelona gone just like that's so misfortunate but i'm sorry for your last man but speaking of kids do you have any of your own no no no i do have 750 kids oh those are the ones in corinthians so we started off with five kids now we have 750. that is big man shut up i'm a big puppy i'm father abraham yeah yeah basically that's beautiful but why why name it corinthians where did the name come from yeah so during that period where i had started corinthians you know we were going through a hectic financial period so mama lost her buildings and obviously i to drop out of varsity and that's where i found myself in the word of god it was it was a tough period and it was in second corinthians with the apostle paul he writes the letter to the church in corinth okay so a lot of the new testament it's paul's letters they're called the pistols okay he's writing to the churches to encourage them so when he went to rome he would leave and then he would check up on them or he'd hear things about them to encourage them he'd write letters so he writes to the church in corinth and the church in corinth was very it was it was a trading hub okay and they they they were growing in god but there was a lot of things that were happening like you know heresy a lot of people now were deviating from the faith a lot of things so when paul writes to them he talks about a lot of people moving away from the faith and he says a lot of you basically are being tested you're going through tribulation you're going through challenges yeah but paul says continue going through it because when you're weak in christ that's when you're strong deep because in your weakness you don't depend on yourself your intellect or your strength in your weakness that's when you became become dependent on a greater being and that becomes christ and so that was paul's motivation to the church in corinth he writes that letter because he talks about the things he's going through yeah and i remember reading that and i was like hey mara godzilla for for sale sign yeah showcase back to shamans i just keep at 4 o'clock i've got a training session but i continued to train those kids like nothing was happening so i remember going on my knees and saying father see us through this i don't have the strength but somehow you've called me for these kids because there's a drug pandemic that's happening there's a crime pandemic that's happening see me through this and we wanted a name so they came up with south hills stars the bears whatever all-stars and i said we corinthians corinthians at that time it was south hills corinthians but now it's grown bigger so it's corinthians corinthians that's so beautiful that's a beautiful story man shout out but i want to know i want to know real quick um when it comes to two corinthians i also heard that you all don't just do like focus on soccer players what other sports do you all focus on yeah i know corinthians is grown so it just used to be a football club and so we what happened is they started building estates where we used to play soccer so every single saturday there was a soccer ground where everyone would go in south hills and play because everyone wanted to beat us we had grown up yeah so they basically removed that soccer ground there was no way to play sock when we go to the schools they're charging us 3 000 rent so what i did is i got angry so i said okay shop the schools are charging us money we don't have a place to play football i said we're going to take over all the parks yeah and it reminds me of my faith in christianity where christ leaves and he says that you know embrace the persecution because that's where the christian faith and christian movement grew was through persecution because people started running away but wherever they ran to they started the church yeah they multiplied so embrace the persecution so for us whatever we were doing there was no way to play soccer i remember that word of paul of embrace the persecution so we took over all the parks on purpose and we started south yields corinthians in every single park in our community they started complaining and they're like in yonkin dao we're like mushrooms yeah and so there was a dilapidated building in la rochelle it had two soccer grounds okay it was messed up draghi's were there so my word counselor came with the city of johannesburg and said hey dude number one we've seen the work you're doing it's massive because you've grown number two take over this facility and at that time i'd lost my mom in 2018 so from there we transitioned basically from not just only doing soccer we looked at the facility and said let's have netball because the netball girls approached us because of prostitution which is quite big rosettinville prostitution is hectic yeah young girls like yourself are studying bodies for money unemployment so we started netball then i was approached by how dang lions and jp quantum and they said dude we're seeing what you're doing what about cricket in the area there's no cricket yeah we started cricket and then obviously our recent project which is two of them is i was then approached by two blind kids in the community and they said hey we coming every single saturday we're watching football give us a chance and i was like blind kids playing football you know the usual i was about to ask how does that even work yeah i mean what's that what's what's what's the whole thought process because to me when you when you say blind i think completely blind isn't that can't see anything so now imagine a blind person playing soccer how how does that work how would it be yeah i think all of us think of it that way i mean i was looking at them and they were like walking at that time holding each other i'm like you guys can't even walk straight imagine yeah do you understand so that's why i was very reluctant with it but they were persistent very persistent and so i did research in in december and i found out that blind football is something big in europe and how it works is there's five there's five players it's like an indoor type of vibe the goalkeeper can be partially sighted or you can see the four players inside are completely blindfolded and so when they play the ball has got balls inside oh okay for sound so when they playing they play normal no sticks because people think they're moving with sticks and they're moving like that no they play normal football but they blame by sound yo isn't that challenging imagine having to hear where the bell is going yeah now you've got what if they run into a wall or something is there like someone spectating and like making sure that they in the same like space because if you're like blindfolded completely how will you know you're running into a war yeah the thing is with with that is the fans are quiet so that they can only hear the battle as well but here's the thing with blind people i always say that they're not disabled they're just differently abled they're not because when you lose sight everything else is heightened so there's a lot of things they're able to do you'd be shocked because i've got two players who can't see and here but they're still playing so now they have an outer body experience right it's an outer body experience i don't know if you know of bats and how bats oh yeah i bought bats and stuff bats are weird yeah bats can't see they can't yeah but bats are able to fly and check everything they use something called ecolocation i don't know if you've ever heard of that so how echolocation is is they release the sound it bounces into something and tells them where that thing is so with blind people they use sticks yeah whatever they hit i don't know if you've seen blind people walk with sticks so when they're hitting the stick it releases the sound and tells them tabang is here the wall is there that is there and then it directs them which way to move so they don't hit or pump into something so when a blind player is playing there's equal location type of vibe that's happening hearing if there's no hearing then there's another thing which they use is called feel i call it the feel they play soccer feeling it's another out it's like an instinct if you watch like dragon ball z it's like ultra instinct you know where goku uses that yeah that's an out of body experience so imagine playing football feeling where the ball is where your opponents are through vibrations and energy so they do incredible stuff that i can't even explain properly i think i'm doing an injustice here but they're phenomenal i hear it i heard it sounds so cool but how how do you as a coach just communicate with your players if it's like in a situation where they're blind and deaf i think the first thing i i did is i studied sports psychology with barcelona in spain you know so sports is all psychology in fact yesterday i had a session with the blind kids and i noticed that sharp i can train these kids but if i don't have intimacy with them there's no connection yeah so to build intimacy so one of the first sessions i had for two weeks there was no training it was a relationship building who are they where they from what's their story what's the vulnerability i to share my vulnerability with them as well and when we develop that intimacy you understand because it's a feel thing it's not an instruction type of thing those kids listen to me and my assistant coaches like this there's a there's there's a connection that is it's more than a verbal communication of goku to do this it's he trusts me because he was able to share his vulnerability with me yeah i shared my vulnerability in fact yesterday i was talking to them about ex-girlfriends there was our psychological session we're talking about exes i'm a ex and we had a deep session we were bonding so hectic that bond psychologically we are able to connect last week two weeks ago we went to virgin active they invited us and how to the best yoga instructors were there they were instructing the blind kids what to do it's not that they can't hear english they hear it okay but they struggled oh cause there's no connection there's no connection i mean you guys have to understand it and then how to communicate with each other so i guess i guess the bond makes sense but enough about the the brand let's talk about you a little bit more what can't you do since you did psychology and you need this coach you know building growing with people what is one thing or let's let's let's get into something lighter what is one thing you know for a fact you can't do to save your life i don't love cooking but i cook because i stay by myself now yeah not a best of cook but to survive i do cook but there's a point where i was just living on a lot of junk food i think i spent like over five thousand right on chunk one month you know but i don't love cooking but i care now to survive yeah yeah but i can but i wouldn't cook for people i cook for myself oh yes food bro i'm sure yeah only you can eat your food i also also can cook for real i swear i swear i never had time growing up to like actually learn how to cook maybe i know like with noodles and eggs and stuff i i really can't cook for real yeah who cooks for you my mom my mom my dad even my dad is a better cook than mama so manchester united so please do what have they done today they'll it's um yeah i wouldn't say i can't cook but it's just not my favorite thing and i don't know what else that i can you draw i can i used to throw a lot of goku and trunks pictures yeah i wouldn't say i'm the best but yeah i can i can yeah i think yeah that's basically it i'm sure there's something else that i'm forgetting as well dancing do you know how to dance i make stiff dancing look good you know yeah the type of guy please that is so embarrassing imagine going with someone to groove in the day please yeah just own the objective of dancing is not always i mean obviously not but you must look like you know what you're doing you can't get there now expect around two yeah are you those ones who pull their faces like yes that's if as a south african if you don't stick your tongue out while you're dancing you're not dancing you're not dancing as in can you sing though yeah yeah i used to be in the praise of worship no i used to be praising worship back up tina [Music] and bay zenyana please tell me guys you don't know my quiche no please tell me yeah yes is is is songs that basically a lot of it i'd say a lot of it i wouldn't say it literally comes from the eastern cape but a lot of it comes from times of war you know the mk in my car yeah you know you'd sing it to uplift the spirit where you come together in hamilton oh yes i've heard of this yeah yeah you know like [Music] you would sing it because of hardship things that are happening in the community and people would sing that one song and come together you know so that's like amaguicho that's that's i'm gonna go tell my history teacher tomorrow mem she told us what they are in english i even forgot what's it in english yeah i think they'd say it's more like acapella in english yeah in our history textbook was telling us about the songs they sing and stuff and i just never knew kore in venek is it kosa and i'm cursed and i didn't even know that for real there's a lot of kosa maguicho i don't know it telling us eastern cape something like that because most of them come from the eastern cape so i think maybe in the time of the trenches and the villages they'll come together it's like stories that they would tell inga niguani i think you know we grew up under that then we think there was always a song as well like but mainly it was amateur going to war coming back from war because they would sleep in the trenches and it would rain and things like that so to uplift their spirit they'll sing those songs keep them going say it talks about a cell phone you know like how we always on your cell phone you know so i'm at 2000 i think they're the ones who made cedula they would sing it a lot in stadiums so if you go to stadiums like fnb orlando stadium oh yeah the songs they sing they are making oh yes i've heard also i see videos sometimes trending of soccer boys just singing a lot of most of them can sing can you sing yeah i know definitely especially the blind team when they sing like the soul becomes cleansed they cleanse my soul those kids yeah you know so everyone in corinthians thinks i'm a creature that's beautiful that's beautiful yeah so do you all pray are y'all what do y'all believe in as as corinthians i mean even though your names kind of says it but i want a specific idea of what you guys believe in yeah i know we pray it's part of our framework it's before you start anything you pray but corinthians is open to everyone it's open to satanists or cults to to to jihadists to terrorist it's for everyone in fact we have corinthians in malawi um they wanted to kill our president in malawi for praying wow yeah so it's quite deep because a lot of what we do with corinthians is all about the transformation of the soul yeah so we don't try and force christ on you but we want a transformation a transformation in your life but in malawi um the framework is they have devotion so what he did is i went to malawi in 2017 i met up with stephen chimerwe and he loved the concept of corinthians so i went there with missionaries from america yeah and when i went there with american missionaries they wanted to start a church there and they were trying to bring in christ the villagers were reluctant because it's like we're coming into your village we want to bring christ here we're not trying to understand you as a village yeah i kicked the soccer ball into the ground the village came and then were able to have conversations and then that allowed us to basically then understand the culture and form a church there as well so there i met up with stephen shimei i left he loved corinthians he continued so what he's done is it's grown so much he goes into villages to unite villages because now there's terrorists okay you know what a terrorist yeah well who's your favorite terrorist hate me i don't like terrorists guys terrorists yeah you don't like terrorists for real why don't you like terrorists i i don't like terrorists i don't know to be honest i'm not a terrorist jesus christ yo guys don't come for me don't come yeah no it's fine so just um research more on terrorists yeah a lot of what we know is terrorism is what happened in 9 11 where the twin towers in america there was the airplane oh i saw i saw uh i watch euphoria on season one there was something about it happening so i saw i saw so imagine america being a superpower and the twin towers the world trade centers in new york airplanes are crashing in so they say it's aeroplanes and they start collapsing the americans were caught off guard and so when they did research they said apparently according to them osama bin laden yeah who at that time was under the american cia operations to fight against the soviet union was responsible okay so that's where the war on terror came came so guys like osama bin laden were seen as terrorists because they were basically causing havoc violence that's the word of terrorism in other countries within their own people so then america went into afghanistan they went into iraq and said there's a war on terrorism on terrorism we're fighting these guys who are basically bombing everything like suicide bombers so with stephen chimera in africa it's big you know and so there's something called jihadists where they believe that when you can die for allah yeah or die for god oh yeah yeah you go into heaven okay so a lot of them are child soldiers who are recruited because of seeking to be in a gang or in a confinement yeah so in malawi they were there and so stephen chimera comes into that village and he comes with a soccer ball and he comes to say let's play football and use sports they take i've got a video where one of them takes a gun puts it on the side gets onto the pitch and he plays and so what you had was christians muslims and the different different african spiritualities playing football it was a beautiful sight of how sport can unite yeah then afterwards they were so they were so moved they were like who is your god and she remembers my god is christ he didn't enforce it yeah so they then take off their caps basically and say that if your god shows love through this and kindness through this you want to serve your god so he then got into trouble because the elders are like you're just supposed to bring soccer but it's like religion yeah they called him in and they wanted to beat him up at that time when i spoke to him over the phone he was traumatized in fact they put poison in a drink because afterwards one of the elders said let him go he went a young girl comes with a drink and it's got a white powder underneath he's about to drink it yeah and then one of the players said don't drink that they put poison and as he looks there was like a white powder inside he throws it and then he goes to the girl and he says why do you want to poison me and the girl says no the elder said i must give you this they're the ones who wanted you dead those are the things that other young people are going through for transformation and for the faith movement as well so yeah that's the but i didn't think of it like that yeah what happens with history it seems like you like history i do history favors the strong it always favors the strong so whoever wins in history writes history even though it's not factual so everything that you watch on the news everything that you read is propaganda by the west mm-hmm it's like north korea i like kim jong-un i don't know if you guys know kim jong-un i'm for kim jong-un because he's testing missiles and now they're angry they're sanctioning him but america does the same thing so how come only america can have nuclear weapons but no one else can right you understand so a guy like kim says ah america is having all these things let's also have it yeah no kim is a bad guy he's like a terrorist he's uh this type of thing he's starving his people so they create these narratives so that you see north korea in a certain way you see palestine in a certain way you see muslims in a certain way people are scared of muslims nowadays because of the war on terror you can't engage muslims because you scared them on a bomb or things like that and it's not truth muslims are humans just like us they're loving they carry a lot of humanitarian work but because of the propaganda it's like anything with islam is a terrorist or gonna bomb you anything that is christian is always good that is wrong so a lot of things are propaganda yeah but like no muslims muslims are actually nice people like i was i don't know if i was once muslim but like my family had this thing we like were converted so my second name is sadia which means princess in muslim i think yeah so i think muslim people are cool for real for real but this whole thing guys yo nah it has to come to an end it's kind of weird imagine if south africa you know actually like guys i'm not gonna lie i i list for zombies can't we have like some action in the world going on this covert thing i'm a mask it's boring for real our country needs some action something something that's going to get our blood rushing yeah like no no we have hey that's fine yeah my baby let's go let's go crazy i wanna like i i even think to myself sometimes when i'm school and i'm bored and i'm like yo they run around for real i swear so boring sometimes south africa is crazy man this is one of the most dangerous countries to be it's like venezuela and did you know south africa's roads i literally i heard this is the fact south african roads are actually the like the one of the most dangerous roads like to drive on most car accidents happen on south african roads and even like the stats say it south africa is the number one country with the most car accidents and wow wow that's crazy yeah i know it is there's a lot of things that happen i mean from your looting to a lot of things that happen with the floods yeah in in devon you know where the floods would happen in a place like durban and things like that there's a lot i wouldn't be shocked if there are aliens in in this country the way people behave yeah it's crazy but yeah that's that's essay for you yes south africa is crazy but does do you think your people as a country support what you do and how do you benefit from it yeah when you say our people are saying south africans yes so people that are aware of corinthians and your brand and what you do for you know the people out here and how you're trying to help you know like you said avoid such situations as drugs and kids and and also just supporting and actually doing something like the blind soccer team i heard it's the first ever in south africa so do you think people like do do we support you do we show you enough supports how do you benefit yeah 100 i would say with corinthians the people actually showed more support was actually other african countries especially with our organization it was other african entities who supported us who would contribute himalaya who would come and say dude we're pushing this south africans are very elected you know i think maybe it's familiarity that type of thing but do people love and support what we do as korean things they do there is that type of support yeah i think with anything as well it's just also marketed and get it out there but there's a lot of love there's a lot of interest there's a lot of passion there's a lot of awe and there's a lot of wow keep up what you're doing so it is there south africa south africans are loving people uh we are bruised and traumatized in so many ways we still trying to understand each other but you know when it comes into the world this country is very loving in our diversity we are very supportive i think maybe because silana we always here again i go to propaganda how we kill each other how we hate each other but if you travel to other countries in africa there's a lot of love but if you have to go to europe go to america you can't even greet a person you know that's true that type of thing south korea is very loving so when you travel outside south africa you actually appreciate you're australia a lot of skins migrate to australia yeah and they're like i miss south africa because of the love and the people yeah south africa's hope even nasty sea says good luck guys i can i can go from here to here but this will always be my home i always definitely definitely so the support is is is is there my biggest fight is is just basically with the institutions in this country from a football perspective who are still ignorant about blind football they're not supporting it as much they are like you know it's just community guys getting blind kids and whatever so the support is not there institutionally yeah i always say the biggest problem in our country is not the kingpins it's not the drug dealers it's not the guys who might rob you it's the leaders we have true so i think it's a leadership problem we have in our country i mean even with the crime the cable theft yeah all that stuff it's called no we can catch the guys who are stealing the cables but we need to look at the guys because that's a syndicate and it always leads to a politician it always leads to an ideology so when you fix ideologies you then are able to transform syndicates then you are able to transform the person so tina we always here at the leaves but we need to get to the root of the problem the looting thing there was a report that came out that it was politically inspired the looting that happened in durban politically exactly it was so random you understand zuma you understand so a lot of people are looking at who was basically going into the malls no who is the person at the top and they know who the person at the top is but they don't want to get that person apprehended because of political power and because money as king solomon says answers all things we need to fix the top and when we fix the top we then transform the syndicates and the systems yeah and then we get everything right at the bottom marathina's lap hands we need to fix lapa corruption corruption is a big problem but how do you benefit from your brand how does it make you feel yeah 100 corinthians is a growing brand growing internationally as well and yeah makes me excited man to start from a street into a park yeah to in malawi then you're going to be in senegal then international everyone knows those brands we have global you know what i'm saying you've got your virgin active netback foundation asu paul fbob so many big corporates investec that are with us now you know so it goes back to nothing is impossible integral stratini is now big and everyone wants to basically walk the journey with us we've got double up as well so yeah i mean i'm i'm very excited but i always say corinthians does not belong to me it belongs to god i'm just a caretaker a leader i'm a bus driver that's all but the bus is not mine yeah you know that's so powerful that's so powerful but how's your how does how does double up and corinthians work together yeah a hundred percent what i love about double up is i got a great relationship with the founder tabang rana and he's a good mate of mine shout out to her boss shut up what's he just doing great stuff so i've i've known tabang for i think is it over 15 years yeah it's like 11 years i was his youth leader and then he became a youth leader as well so we made together a church okay and we built a good relationship together church in fact dublin was inspired by by our youth pastor at the time because he used to shout at us and be like poor you must only be a man of god focus on the things of god you can't be double up meaning you can't live two lives that's two different things so he used to shout at us for being double up not me and him necessarily but the young people yeah so knowing tabang is to cry and share a lot with him and be like donna there's a point where the whole corinthians walked out you know like 15 players walked out and i was like it's an end because working with people is not easy and i would share the growth of corinthians and then i think with time he then came with the idea of double up i remember his first design was a like a young chap i think it was on a cable was he jumping the fence okay jumping offense and he shared with me like jack what do you think and i'm very critical with him i was telling him even today i criticize him a lot from a place of love because i want him to be professional i always say when i look at you i don't look at you from a local brand i look at you from a global brand yeah so i'll critique you to strengthen you so that externally when you get critique you cool with it yeah yeah yeah because i blasted and i blast him a lot you know but he's a mate of mine he gets it he builds it and he strengthens the brand so when he started double up he then came up with the idea and i told him about the blind he's like i wanna design i don't know who designed that t-shirt but you had a friend yeah okay yeah so we had the blind and then he came through and he was like yo i've got this designed for a t-shirt for the blind team and i just posted it and everyone on my dm's and crazy i like the white one more but they don't like the black one i told you about the black one though you know yeah everyone everyone likes the black one yeah i don't know if you've seen the design was it those pictures you sent me yes those are very nice i like the black ones yeah everyone likes the i like the white one more but everyone likes the black one you can read the white one as coach okay right as coach and then the team black but the black was very dope it's very dope and from there tabang was talking so i execute one thing i'm very good at is execution i just don't speak i execute so i said are you serious about this it's like yeah so tawang knows me that i get things done i have high kpi in execution and so with time this year it came and then we purchased the t-shirts the blind team was running we played against america a team from america we beat them 3-1 and shout out shout out bro the blind kid's got a volley one of them's got a volley imagine being blind and scoring a body i don't know what to follow a volley it's like the ball comes and then you like in the air oh oh but like you're blind but you're hitting a volley there's able-bodied athletes who still can't do that i've heard oh i think it's the one way like the ball is in the air and you shoot it while it's like sharp damn and you can't see crazy and everyone went crazy everyone went crazy i had brighton's song from buffalo he's like dude sign me up i want to come and play here yo sign me up so with dublin what i love is tabang was building a brand so he confides a lot in me yeah and i said corinthians is growing this is a massive brand it's growing you've got yamaha as well part of corinthians yes that's a beautiful brand as well so i said design the t-shirt would go with your design and people were fighting with me yeah because they were like we're also sponsored by hollywood bets i don't i don't know oh yeah yeah yeah yeah hollywood beats hollywood is one of our sponsors they're our official sponsor so we wear like the purple and the the the gold of hollywood bits yeah but i decided to go with double up and the people in my board were like i want to check what is double up bringing on offer they just know it's not about what they bringing on offer it's about the story yeah it's him starting up something and growing it and corinthians also growing and in our growth we are uplifting him yeah and i said you guys are missing the whole point if you're looking at money sponsors and the monetary then you're missing they're missing the whole point it's the story behind corinthians and if you look at dripping part two it's the story they're selling it's not the shoes because if you look at parts it's the same shoe yeah in different colors and drip the same thing mara the story of likao of how he started behind this car boots and selling is what's getting the investors and people to put money in yeah and i said the same thing that double up gary double-up is a brand where tabang is pushing he's knocking on doors corinthians is growing yeah and now we're going to have braille on our t-shirts the mayor is coming in june now imagine the mayor coming for the braille in the t-shirts but there's a d yeah so everyone's going to ask what's the deal what's the d you understand so with corinthians they say okay sharp it's corinthians and then they're going to do an investigation and then say oh dublin the brand goes yes the brand grows yeah so that's the whole that's the whole relationship with with double up it's nothing monetary it's nothing fancy it's about us growing at the same time uplifting double up as well and when double up also grows as well they'd be able to say that no we've worked with korrento it's mutual that's beautiful out of curiosity how many how many blind players do you have we have 13 players i've got a blind assistant coach 13 players and then also got a female assistant coach as well how's that like other people working are you getting more people to come like play and stuff when we posted it on facebook we had 796 national the messages people basically messaging we want to join blind football why are you guys owning khaoten come to limbo come to the northern cape so one of the things i'm doing is i want to get all my blind soccer players a coaching license if we go through to the qualifiers this year we're going to go to the uk and play the world cup and represent south africa but prior to that a post that post that is i want to get coaching licenses for all my players but we're materiel eastern capes some of them from kaizerin northern cape guru man klextop they come from all over the country they're the local blind institutions yeah when they go back home and they have their licenses they
