He explained that his life changed dramatically after his imprisonment:
“Everything was taken away in the blink of an eye following the accident. The accident lingers as my darkest day. A good part of me died as well. When you find yourself alone, you just remember, you try to sleep, you see visions. You try to move on with your life [but then] you are reminded.”
Jub Jub credits his time in prison with making him a better person:
“Prison is the only place that actually forced me to be alone, to reconnect with God, amadlozi (ancestors). Because of the life that I was living, man, I had no time for what my ancestors wanted me to do. I had no time for God. I regret all my actions, the accident, but I don’t regret going to prison because that’s where I learnt life lessons that I learned.:
