It would be nice if I had all the money I needed, then bad money habits wouldn't be a thing... but here we are. About trying2adult: My name is Tino and shortly after I got out of varsity, I quickly realised that adulting was the ghetto. There's just so much I don't know... and no one teaches you these things we need to know when we grow up.

00:30 - What happened on the morning of Anele's death?
03:56 - AKA and Anele had a very "passionate" relationship.
06:20 - Anele had a history of being suicidal
08:41 - AKA does not feel responsible for Anele's death.
10:17 - There is no love between AKA and Anele's family
12:01 - AKA believes someone wants to tarnish his image
14:38 - Why did he even do this interview? About trying2adult: My name is Tino and shortly after I got out of varsity, I quickly realised that adulting was the ghetto.

New Footage of Leo Prinsloo the Security Guard (Failed CIT Robbery)

YouTube Video UC2YoJYsMAs4Pb-H90y_Ij6Q_WaT3pO80zdA

The attempted Cash-in-Transit robbery failed thanks to out hero's driver Leo Prinsloo. He is a former member of the South African Police Service where he was a head instructor for their Special Task Force. He left the police and started his own shooting range and he also works as a security officer for a private security company called Fortis Pro Active Defensive Solutions which is how he ended up here. Both guards survived the ordeal and I haven't seen any reports from local new sources of any deaths or injuries that occurred during the incident. Sources

Drone footage of University of Cape Town (UCT) from before and after the fire burnt down a couple of buildings. I was happy to notice that most of campus is still okay. From what I saw, the buildings that got burnt are: Jagger Library (Jagger Reading Room ) - A library that contained rare book collections and also used for studying by mostly post graduate students. H.W. Pearson Building - Botany and Biology Fuller Hall - Female residence on Upper Campus. New Science Lecture Theatre - A very old lecture theatre building which looks like it was only partially burnt. I'm sure there was more destruction but not visible from the sky if the roof or windows/doors didn't also get burnt. A good example is Fuller hall which looks mostly fine but there's lots of burnt areas inside.
