Kelebogile is sooo underrated hleng! She asks triggering questions without making the other person feels judged but to open up more . She's the best shame...
Used to take a bus with this guy for almost a year! The most talkative and friendly person. His presence light up and he’s very smart! If you’re sad and looking out the window, trust that he will tap your shoulder, smile and greet you with the widest smile. Loved his daughter and was always on calls with her to and from work. Me watching this tells me that people really do work on themselves and also the Welcome raised by his grandmother still dominates in his life.
If you don't hve a choice,like if there's no opportunities yiu will become a man at a very young age,12 13 14 etc meaning If there's no father figure only a mom yiu as the boy must become a man weather to go and robbed, steal or stand with the back against the wall(Dealing)
I agree with you 100% For some reason I haven't seen anyone who asks questions the way this lady does in SA. She can get information in the most amazing way
I dont feel he has the right to, I'm mad my uncle was murdered too. This guy has no remorse and will kill again in a heart beat if the situation arise.
Not knocking Oprah but Rele has more of an investigative mind.She questions in a way that makes it hard for you to lie or trips you up if you do.She is🔥🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲
Ms. Mabotja, you are an amazing interviewer. I am watching from America and Im in awe. You are much better than Oprah mainly because you dont speak for the person your interviewing, you let them speak for themselves. AMAZING!!!
This is what I was thinking@Joshua Lovehall. I used to adore Oprah, until I studied her and realized, something was way off with how she was interviewing people, most of the times cutting them off, being judgemental by a certain look she had, many other things.
I love how Mr. Witbooi often answers questions with "I think for me" it really opened him to show how he was, what he went through and how he got to where he is. Amazing work Ms. Relebogile, your questions here don't pass any judgment, truly amazing work👌
Gangsters are the self appointed authors and finishers of life.. they are the self appointed judges, juries and executioners, they are the inflicters of pain.. dividers of families, the widow makers and the orphan makers. Theirs is the only profession the world can do without. I hope we will realise that self esteem and self acceptance are key to happiness and personal development. What other people think of us is immaterial. Good work to the team.
we need healthy structures where boys can become men, provide an alternative to gang life. boys will always want to become men and admire other men who are respected and at the moment the only place kids in these areas can get that is in a gang
I have watched about 6 episodes on this channel and every time it leaves me with something to pray for, either to never experience something or to thank God for being privileged enough that am safe and protected. This was indeed so triggering and am glad this guy shared his story.

I knew Relebogile just as a presenter of something somewhere but after watching this channel, I have so much respect for her. She invests herself completely in these conversations. She listens so well and asks all the right questions. It's so beautiful to watch her do this 🙌🏾
What I noticed is that the only time he teared up was when he was talking about how his father never acknowledged him. He never teared up when talking about those he killed and hurt.
And that the root problem,in therapy we will see it as the root cause of his behavior in which before he even forgives himself for killing other people and all stuff he would have to forgive his papa...situation with his dad lead to irrational thoughts hence to unacceptable behavior.
I observed the same thing and it is really really sad because that’s where his pain began and everything else is just a consequence of trying to numb that deeply set grief. Jennifer I agree with you.
True that. He seems proud and boasty when he narrates how he killed his victims. Even when Relebogile was crying, he showed little sympathy. Yes, he has reformed, but a part of me doesn't trust him.
Yes I noticed too, that when he speaks of his Father, there's more emotions,,,, how I wish he Lebo asked him if he had forgiven his dad or maybe his mom too... Cos that's where the root cause might be...
I love the fact that you made him human and not just a monster or stigma. There's the person and there's his actions and you were able to distinguish that well. Great job👏
This man is really intelligent... the way he answered Lebo's questions is out of this world @Relebogile you are brave to confront pain head on, you're helping so many to heal
I think we can all conclude from this that at our core every human is good but the environments we're exposed to contribute to how we turn out. May we not be quick to judge but count ourselves blessed to have not been in certain situations that if we were would force us to become something we're not. Goodluck with your journey.❤🙌
True and I had to put myself in his shoes for one minute and couldn't imagine the situation. It seemed impossible. So I just thanked God I was not brought up in such an environment. Perhaps only people raised in those kinds of environment are the only ones who have a right to judge.
The importance of good parenting. It all started with him needing approval and affection from his own parents. Today as a grown men you can still see the pain because his parents were unavailable. I'm so proud of the person he has turned out to be though. I could not stop crying ♥️
It is important to tell our kids how proud we are of them, remind that they conquerors, tell them that they are able to achieve anything in this life... We as parents can make or break our kids future, Welcome needed to hear his dad saying "son I'm super proud of you"💔... This interview is an eye opener, thank you ausi Lebo💕❤️
“Stop pretending to be someone you’re not; rather be in a space where you know who you are because when you know who you are, you have power over life because you live with values” Yoh this interview 😭🔥
The unfortunate part of this interview is that we all going to interpret it according to our own understandings, but this kind of conversations has to be brought forth so that we can get to understand the other world of how parental contribution can play a role to the upbringing of each child. I wish us as parents can learn so much of how important it is to be there for our children. We might blame him for what he has done but honestly we reach some point in life where we normalize what society labels as abnormalities.
I want to know why you use the words unfortunate because anyone who listens to this interview should put their own interpretation and that should be ok.We should not seek to convince people to reason with us.we should be open to contradictory views
@@thembisaodendaal the comment was never intended to be a subject of dictating on the level of interpretation, and no single word except the level of your understanding has been composed to dismiss the contrary
Exactly my thoughts. His parents ruined his life . I look at him I have no Single blame for him . The moment he said his father said his report wasn't good enough. My parents are like that and they don't know the damage they do to their children. You are on point
It's really important for us as parents to boost our children's confidence.Don't only complain when they do wrong and go on as normal when they do right
His Answer to that question of “would you do it again?” … I’m NOT TAKING IT! 😭😭😢 Welcome has killed in his most calmest.. not because of rage or Anger… a choice…choice between his difficult situation vs another persons life. Can’t get over the correctional officer’s killing,I’m sorry…I don’t think the officer himself in the grave understands. Him doing his work he knew he would die at work maybe BUT I doubt he saw Welcome coming!.. I guess that’s his charm.He’s Lovable and understandable, before, during &even after! SCARY!🤔concerning🤔
That broke me, 😭😭😭. Dads must know how important their roles are, especially to sons. As a girl growing up with my dad it honestly wasn't imortant to me as it was to him.... I think also bcoz he wasn't living with them.
@@achatwithgoitse im grown with four kids and what his telling is nothing new to me cos it becomes a norm but this my point A WOMAN CAN TALK AND DEAL WITH A SIN LIKE A FATHER CAN Also Guys Need Their father Cause they must do things together,like sports,teaching him how to become a man things of tha Nature more important is
Honesty I feel like I'm watching the Oprah Winfrey Show, especially back in the day. Girl, you are so talented and present. I really love your content and communication skills Relebogile!
Wow, the comments! People are so judgemental. Would you be happier if he went back to his old ways so you could have a good reason to judge him? He made mistakes and nobody is condoning what he did but he changed for God's sake!
We should allow everyone to be.The ones you feel are judgemental it is because they need to be in that space.can we just appreciate that other people will always have different opinions
How do you know he has changed? Because he is being interviewed? Maybe, but I wouldn't trust him with anything in my life. He seems to value power so much
What a piercing and thought provoking interview with a very honest man who does not sugar coat anything to impress the public these are really stories that we all need to here so that we can grow and teach our children.
@@thembisaodendaal I absolutely agree. Relebogile is in her own league. In fact, personally, I feel she’s a lot more genuine than whoever she’s being compared to. I have immense respect for her.
You come across as a really intelligent, articulate & compassionate guy. I think you were placed in an impossible situation at a very young age. I'm so sorry for the lives which were lost but you've paid your dues & I wish you & your family all the very best for the future. We're born into certain situations & it's so difficult to break free from them.
This guy showed no remorse. He tried to be “ smart” about it . He speaks about the value of life and how easily he has moved on and found peace he fails to realize that he robbed others of their lives. Is he God to decide who deserves to die and who doesn’t . He is judging people more than he is not reflecting about himself aggggggggggg pure evil
Agree with you 💯. He is a coward who killed an innocent man who showed him love and kindness. He killed an innocent person because he was coward, he was afraid to die, he took another life to try and protect himself. He call himself smart. Smart people make smart choices in life. They don't joint gangs to try and fit in. I don't think this guy wanted to fit in, he wanted to be powerful. The reason was not his dad's absence. He just chose to be a criminal. He doesn't take responsibility for his actions. He keeps blaming his dad, his surrounding, his being in prison. Mxm
Where? He didn't? The onetime he showed emotion was when he spoke about his own father. I've seen sorry people in my life and this is not it. He is am attention seeker.
@Relebogile Mabotja, this is the third interview I've seen and I can say I love your follow up/calrity questions, you have a way of getting the most out of your guests. You also show empathy, which is beautiful. It's like therapy for them and the viewers.
you did awesome job with this interview. Is he reformed? i don't think so. He has done his time and has also made amends to the family of one of the men he killed. That doesn't mean he is reformed. the only time he showed any emotion is when he talked about his father not accepting him. That's the pain that caused eveything. He has not dealt with that. IMO, he won't truly be reformed until he deals with that. He expressed several times how smart he is. He is a great talker. he never expressed any remorse for the lives he took. All he had to say is Love hard, and be yourself because you never know when your life will be taken. He said he would do anything he had to do to keep his life the way it is. When asked if he regretted what he did, he never said he did. He said alot, but he never said that. IMO, he is the worst kind of monster. He has justifed what he has done. Parents need to watch out for HIM.
This experience is too learn from,I had childhood trauma and it haunted me for 20+years ,when you rejected as a child and come from a mentaly not so healthy home you may most likely fall into the trap of the devil which is to destroy us.There is no criminal,killer or murder etc that comes from a mentaly healthy homes.Hence its important to fix ourselves before having kids ....
I have so much respect for Relebogile as an interviewer. You're doing an amazing job sis. Keep at it. This was a great conversation. May God bless you both
I am so moved by this particular episode. What a situation. You are clearly also affected by this guy's story. Thank you for the work you do, creating awareness and helping others understand things we never understood. This is so deep. I'm so emotional right now
Please do a follow up on these families so we can hear their side of their story, these conversations need to be had nyani. I am so heartbroken, I do not know how to process all of this information. Thank you for bringing us such interesting and hard topics Rele.
All I see is God's grace how deep it is am sure when all the things were happening no one thought he would be on God's grace.this interview was powerful. Thank you
I have friend who took a life of an individual when he was 18 when we starting at university,, this guy is telling the truth and it's an eye opener to society and finding ourselves is important,,, killing someone hunts you and you are in pain ..
Man, this interview has been difficult. Especially the correctional service story. It got me to tears. But this conversation was very necessary. Hopefully someone will change his/her ways after watching this.
He is right, we all have the ability to Hurt people. Like R.E.M says everybody hurts sometime in their live, and also hurts others, but we choose to be a moral society and control our tempers for the sake of living in harmony with others😭💔💔
😭😭 Thank you so much for this interview. I hits me hard because I had similar situations. I thank God I did not go this far. I thank God for given my life to Christ and forgiving my father and my self before things went out of hand. Thank you Welcome. Thank you sir. Thank you so much madam for your wisdom.
Thank you Lebo, for showing us people from an angle and letting us hear their stories, less judgement.. This had me in my feelings. The difficult topics we tip toe around. ❤
I'm a little late on the interview. This was the most insightful interview, the guest was well prepared for the interview and challenged the presenter. He should be a motivational speaker.
My heart breaks so bad. Welcome is so intelligent, so well spoken. I see a doctor in him. But I thank God for his life. His life has turned for good. He is motivating others. May God bless him and his family
What I am taking from this interview is our choices when we had it all to choose from. Whatever path you take can make or break you. What most us don't do is to engage with the youth, especially the teenagers. Also our families some how have failed many from not giving more attention to their children. Remember being a teenager is a stage that in any child's life can make or break. Nobody wants to praise Welcome but I would say, him coming to speak up can help so many who are in the same challenges as he was in back then. I would love to read a book written by him. That very same book, I wanna present many do they can reflect on their lives challenges and choices.
When he cried on his father’s acceptance story I actually think that he didn’t have as much platforms talking about this loud. So I think he did some on him changing for the better but still have more work to do.
I lived in the same community as him, just a street apart and attended the same primary school as Welcome... He was my Std.5 prom partner! To the best of my knowledge, there's nothing fabricated about what he's saying. The notorious "purple house" still stands to this day (although it's not purple anymore) Valhalla Park has worsened dramatically over the years since the early/mid 90's. I fear for the youth of today having to live & grow up there.
The way Relebogile conducted this interview? Man, what a gem. Although emotional she held it together for a good hour plus before breaking down. Not many of us 💔
Relebogile is such a great interviewer, I appreciate this guy not sugarcoating his story and being true to himself. It takes a lot, I see to some people it may come out as if he is unapologetic.
I commend the amount of effort he has made to be a better version of himself, however I am disturbed at his views of the value of life and death. I found an undertone of little to no remorse for the lives taken and also residue of severe mental damage left by his experiences based on his justification behind it. At the end of the day we all have a choice to make, red pill or blue pill. This world is a very tough place, one could argue that you have to adapt or die, but this mentality can change if we raise our children with enough love and support.
I think once u take a life a part of u changes in a way that u can never go back , am not saying I agree with what he said about life and death am just saying every one of us can be evil and once u kill or act on ur evil it’s not gonna be easy to go back to normality if am making sense 😒
I've used survey strategy to read comments and I've noticed that these no appreciation for Welcome, the message, words, honesty and all the power of accepting the truth the way it is and turning his darkness into a light...I will forever and everyday watch this interview and thank you Ause Rele for your boldness and thank you 💯
I don't know how i got to watch this, very powerful life lessons. Thank you Sister Relebogile for being real. I would say you are the best, presenting is truly a calling for you. As a christian i am truly humbled. May God bless you .

I admire how every interviewee here is open and honest. The formula for this show is amazing.
What a piercing and thought provoking interview with a very honest man who does not sugar coat anything to impress the public these are really stories that we all need to here so that we can grow and teach our children.
What an exceptionally great interview. Honestly what scares me most is how little weight it seems taking someone's life carries, it scares me
Relebogile Mabotja is in the same league as Oprah Winfrey. We need to nuture these people. Awesome!
Oh guys why can't Relebogile be in her own league.it sounds limiting I don't know it's maybe that the God I believe in is limitless
@@thembisaodendaal I absolutely agree. Relebogile is in her own league. In fact, personally, I feel she’s a lot more genuine than whoever she’s being compared to. I have immense respect for her.
I think so too.
She in a waaay ahead Oprah's, she's flying on her own height!!! Thatha Mbokodo!
You come across as a really intelligent, articulate & compassionate guy. I think you were placed in an impossible situation at a very young age. I'm so sorry for the lives which were lost but you've paid your dues & I wish you & your family all the very best for the future. We're born into certain situations & it's so difficult to break free from them.
Such a very heavy topic. May I never have to experience death in the hands of anyone. May Welcome be a shining light every single day of his life.
Relebogile is top notch. Thank you for facilitating such a necessary conversation. 👌🏾🙌🏾
It's Lebo for me. Lady you definitely know your story. I just love you
This guy showed no remorse. He tried to be “ smart” about it . He speaks about the value of life and how easily he has moved on and found peace he fails to realize that he robbed others of their lives. Is he God to decide who deserves to die and who doesn’t . He is judging people more than he is not reflecting about himself aggggggggggg pure evil
You a victim
Agree with you 💯. He is a coward who killed an innocent man who showed him love and kindness. He killed an innocent person because he was coward, he was afraid to die, he took another life to try and protect himself. He call himself smart. Smart people make smart choices in life. They don't joint gangs to try and fit in. I don't think this guy wanted to fit in, he wanted to be powerful. The reason was not his dad's absence. He just chose to be a criminal. He doesn't take responsibility for his actions. He keeps blaming his dad, his surrounding, his being in prison. Mxm
You guys not open minded
He was a coward and killed 2 people to fit in. Really sad! He doesn't seem remorseful. He doesn't care about those people he murdered family!
We judge too much. Yoh.
I appreciate how he's taking responsibility for his actions
Where? He didn't? The onetime he showed emotion was when he spoke about his own father. I've seen sorry people in my life and this is not it. He is am attention seeker.
Was it your drug dealing dad he shot?
This is what you call journalism. Thank you
@Relebogile Mabotja, this is the third interview I've seen and I can say I love your follow up/calrity questions, you have a way of getting the most out of your guests. You also show empathy, which is beautiful. It's like therapy for them and the viewers.
I share your exact sentiment, 100%!
you did awesome job with this interview. Is he reformed? i don't think so. He has done his time and has also made amends to the family of one of the men he killed. That doesn't mean he is reformed. the only time he showed any emotion is when he talked about his father not accepting him. That's the pain that caused eveything. He has not dealt with that. IMO, he won't truly be reformed until he deals with that. He expressed several times how smart he is. He is a great talker. he never expressed any remorse for the lives he took. All he had to say is Love hard, and be yourself because you never know when your life will be taken. He said he would do anything he had to do to keep his life the way it is. When asked if he regretted what he did, he never said he did. He said alot, but he never said that.
IMO, he is the worst kind of monster. He has justifed what he has done. Parents need to watch out for HIM.
I'm rewatching this episode again.. So much wisdom
True
This experience is too learn from,I had childhood trauma and it haunted me for 20+years ,when you rejected as a child and come from a mentaly not so healthy home you may most likely fall into the trap of the devil which is to destroy us.There is no criminal,killer or murder etc that comes from a mentaly healthy homes.Hence its important to fix ourselves before having kids ....
I have so much respect for Relebogile as an interviewer. You're doing an amazing job sis. Keep at it. This was a great conversation. May God bless you both
I am so moved by this particular episode. What a situation. You are clearly also affected by this guy's story. Thank you for the work you do, creating awareness and helping others understand things we never understood. This is so deep. I'm so emotional right now
Please do a follow up on these families so we can hear their side of their story, these conversations need to be had nyani. I am so heartbroken, I do not know how to process all of this information. Thank you for bringing us such interesting and hard topics Rele.
All I see is God's grace how deep it is am sure when all the things were happening no one thought he would be on God's grace.this interview was powerful. Thank you
Wow. This is another level of emotional strength & empathy.
I have friend who took a life of an individual when he was 18 when we starting at university,, this guy is telling the truth and it's an eye opener to society and finding ourselves is important,,, killing someone hunts you and you are in pain ..
This is when I believe the "nature and nurture" theory.
Isn't this show just a beautiful thing??!! Anyone can do a show for ratings and fame, but nothing can buy care!! Thank you Lebo. God bless you!
Man, this interview has been difficult. Especially the correctional service story. It got me to tears. But this conversation was very necessary. Hopefully someone will change his/her ways after watching this.
It triggered so many emotions when he was talking about the correctional officer...had to pause the video for a moment
Most powerful episode from the show I have watched yet. We can all learn something from it.
"The darkness will alwys be inside me,its in all of us"....dis is too deep...,like im so emotional,God knows ,ds is too heavy!!what an interview..
Bra, we like to think we only have the "light" in us, but actually, we just have never been triggered enough 🙉
This video is top tier. I love how Welcome has told his story in a way that an outsider looking in can fully understand.
Its surprising the lengths people go to, to get their father's approvals. Its really sad 😔
He is right, we all have the ability to Hurt people. Like R.E.M says everybody hurts sometime in their live, and also hurts others, but we choose to be a moral society and control our tempers for the sake of living in harmony with others😭💔💔
Lebo handled this so well😢
It just really hurt me when she got emotional, I found myself crying and even had a nose bleed😩
This gentlemen’s words and wisdom is very powerful and had me in tears 🙏🏼 props to him for changing his life and those of others.
your interviewing skills are impeccable. Very attentive interviewer. Love it
😭😭 Thank you so much for this interview. I hits me hard because I had similar situations. I thank God I did not go this far. I thank God for given my life to Christ and forgiving my father and my self before things went out of hand. Thank you Welcome. Thank you sir. Thank you so much madam for your wisdom.
I respect this interviewer so much after this.
Joh... I've got the chills. I need to watch this interview again to fully let all shared sink in.
I hug my son longer after this. I am more conscious of what I say and how I say it
Thank you Lebo, for showing us people from an angle and letting us hear their stories, less judgement..
This had me in my feelings. The difficult topics we tip toe around. ❤
I'm a little late on the interview. This was the most insightful interview, the guest was well prepared for the interview and challenged the presenter. He should be a motivational speaker.
im pretty sure he actually is. he used to come to my school and give motivational speeches:)
As parents we work hard to provide for our kids but at the same time we become unavailable and this creates monsters
You know... Its scary..
I'm addicted to unpacked, I love Rele. I love all the interviews , I'm always intrigued . This? Chef's Kiss.
My heart breaks so bad. Welcome is so intelligent, so well spoken. I see a doctor in him. But I thank God for his life. His life has turned for good. He is motivating others. May God bless him and his family
What I am taking from this interview is our choices when we had it all to choose from. Whatever path you take can make or break you. What most us don't do is to engage with the youth, especially the teenagers. Also our families some how have failed many from not giving more attention to their children. Remember being a teenager is a stage that in any child's life can make or break. Nobody wants to praise Welcome but I would say, him coming to speak up can help so many who are in the same challenges as he was in back then. I would love to read a book written by him. That very same book, I wanna present many do they can reflect on their lives challenges and choices.
This lady does not miss any details, she is excellent and very articulate. I found this show by chance, and I love it.
I cried so much during this interview. My God Kelebogile is beyond brilliant ❤️❤️❤️🤞🏾
She's such a good interviewer. I used to listen to her interviews on 702 driving to work in the mornings.
When he cried on his father’s acceptance story I actually think that he didn’t have as much platforms talking about this loud. So I think he did some on him changing for the better but still have more work to do.
And I really love Relebogile’s genuinity.. what a soul.. you have started something here. Thank you
Relebogile is such an incredible interviewer, I’m in awe 🔥
I lived in the same community as him, just a street apart and attended the same primary school as Welcome... He was my Std.5 prom partner!
To the best of my knowledge, there's nothing fabricated about what he's saying. The notorious "purple house" still stands to this day (although it's not purple anymore)
Valhalla Park has worsened dramatically over the years since the early/mid 90's. I fear for the youth of today having to live & grow up there.
Great to hear from someone who knows him or knew him! Thank you for sharing with us
@@relebogilemabotja215 My pleasure😊🌼
Great show ❤️... Keep it up & God Bless
Was he really the man he say he was in prison.Why in asking is I hardy c any tattoos
The way Relebogile conducted this interview? Man, what a gem. Although emotional she held it together for a good hour plus before breaking down. Not many of us 💔
I'm so proud of you Relebogile and I applaud Welcome for acknowledging what he has done and also did everything to change his life.
Relebogile is such a great interviewer, I appreciate this guy not sugarcoating his story and being true to himself. It takes a lot, I see to some people it may come out as if he is unapologetic.
Prison workers must listen to this guy attentively ,trust no one, no matter how innocent they appear to be.
They are evil! He should have not gone in go a gang in jail
I commend the amount of effort he has made to be a better version of himself, however I am disturbed at his views of the value of life and death. I found an undertone of little to no remorse for the lives taken and also residue of severe mental damage left by his experiences based on his justification behind it. At the end of the day we all have a choice to make, red pill or blue pill.
This world is a very tough place, one could argue that you have to adapt or die, but this mentality can change if we raise our children with enough love and support.
I think once u take a life a part of u changes in a way that u can never go back , am not saying I agree with what he said about life and death am just saying every one of us can be evil and once u kill or act on ur evil it’s not gonna be easy to go back to normality if am making sense 😒
❤️ Welcome❤️ you were ruined by society, we are not born criminals. I love you both, find healing♥️
What a deep conservation 😢😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔💔
I've used survey strategy to read comments and I've noticed that these no appreciation for Welcome, the message, words, honesty and all the power of accepting the truth the way it is and turning his darkness into a light...I will forever and everyday watch this interview and thank you Ause Rele for your boldness and thank you 💯
Tnx you mam abd its all about the interviewer cumin guys without the host there no story
At 16 kids should be hanging out with friends at sweet sixteens not killing people. I’m
So sorry😭
Bruuuuuuh🥺😭💔
@@sanelefavorkukulela8007 opooooooooo
I don't know how i got to watch this, very powerful life lessons. Thank you Sister Relebogile for being real. I would say you are the best, presenting is truly a calling for you. As a christian i am truly humbled. May God bless you .
Father's should honestly step up for their children!!!
