In this weeks episode of the Wide Awake Podcast I spoke to former gang member, Thando. His journey is unique because instead of joining a street gang he chose to stand alone in Africa’s most dangerous city, Cape Town.

During this episode we discussed his childhood and how he transformed from an innocent kid to a ruthless gangster. Thando also shared his experiences inside Pollsmoor, South Africa's most notorious prison. We delved into the story of the Numbers Gang, how he survived after being shot 11 times, his confrontations with other street gangs and the reasons behind his decision to leave his life of crime. Thando also shared some of the most unbelievable stories I have ever heard and much more..

Burkina Faso: Ibrahim Traore's Military Govt Says Foiled Fresh Coup Attempt | Firstpost Africa

Burkina Faso's military government says it has foiled a fresh coup attempt led by a formal army official. The junta says several people have been arrested in connection with the plot trying to destabilise the country. The junta has blamed a former high-ranking military official Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba for leading the plot. Damiba took charge as Burkina Faso's interim president after ousting a democratically-elected leader in a coup in 2022. But in less than a year, he was himself overthrown in another coup which was led by the current military chief Ibrahim Traore. Traore has faced coup attempts in the past and has survived assassination attempts. Will there be another coup in Burkina Faso? Watch for more.
