00:00:34:21 We went out with [machetes], spades. -
00:00:39:21 Every weapon that's there, we were carrying weapons. -
00:00:43:21 We went out to hunt these boys. -
00:00:47:21 Because we know them who are terrorising
our community. |

SCENE 2, NIGHT:
ON SCREEN TEXT: Amid spiralling crime in a
South African township called Galeshewe Led by Pantsi Obusitse, local residents have
formed a vigilante crime fighting group called… Operation Wanya Tsotsi The scene opens with the rosary swinging in Pantsi’s
car. He’s driving driving around on evening
patrols. He talks a bit about Galeshewe, what
Operation Wanya Tsotsi is
confronting, begins to map the area. CONTRIBUTOR/NAME STRAP: Pantsi Obusitse Chairperson - Operation Wanya
Tsotsi ON SCREEN TEXT: Despite the dawn of democracy in South Africa in 1994,
the socioeconomic legacy of apartheid spatial planning still stands. About half of the country’s majority black population
still lives in marginalised townships like Galeshewe. Pantsi gets out of
the car as guy is being searched, and is found to be
in possession of a knife. Pantsi interrogates the
guy with the knife, then he made to lie down to be “blessed” (hit with a
whip). Then they tell him to go home, everyone walks back to cars and the
scene ends with the blessee walking away. |

00:01:16:24 This side is an old town in
Kimberley. -
00:01:19:03 Galeshewe
itself started from this side. -
00:01:23:03 So from this side is where
you're going to get most of the activities. -
00:01:28:08 People are being robbed in
this particular side. -
00:01:35:24 Most of these people this
side aren't employed -
00:01:39:02 and most of the drugs
you'll find on this particular side. -
00:02:03:24 We've seen recently that
lots of boys have been released from jail. -
00:02:10:00 They don't get jobs because
of their criminal records -
00:02:14:01 and there's nothing that
they can do. -
00:02:17:05 That's what they're
thinking, there's nothing they can do in order to enhance their lives. -
00:02:25:17 and again we have to
apprehend them and send them again back to jail. -
00:02:29:12 So our government, the
police and the correctional services -
00:02:35:17 they need to help us in
this regard -
00:02:38:05 because we can't forever do
the same thing time and time again. -
00:02:49:14 Hold the knife right up. -
00:02:52:21 Why are you carrying knife? -
00:02:54:21 - Why didn’t you throw it
away? - I was just going home. -
00:02:58:11 Are you taking it home? -
00:02:59:11 What is this? -
00:03:01:11 Don't walk around with a
knife. -
00:03:08:13 Motherf****r,
go home. -
00:03:10:07 - Walk. - Go home. |

SCENE 3, DAY: Drone shot of Galeshewe at dawn, then we
see Pantsi walking out of his
house to his car to go to work. In the car, with occasional b-roll shots of Galeshewe passing by the car window, Pantsi
talks about his work and what his colleagues think of Operation Wanya Tsotsi. We then see Pantsi arriving at his office, greeting colleagues. LOCATION STRAP:
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION - KIMBERLEY Then, sitting at his desk, Pantsi talks
about the deterioration of the education system and the necessity of corporal
punishment Contributor: Pantsi Obusitse |

00:03:22:18 Now we're going to my work

00:03:30:01 I'm employed as a labour relations officer. -
00:03:34:21 I'm in charge of the
discipline -
00:03:39:03 and making sure that
there's labour peace. -
00:03:44:02 At work they're fully aware
of Operation Wanya Tsotsi -
00:03:49:04 because the media reports
about Operation Wanya Tsotsi -
00:03:55:15 and the achievements -
00:03:57:24 and the dissatisfactions,
the differences between myself and the police. -
00:04:03:17 So they're fully aware. -
00:04:11:06 How're you? Excellent. -
00:04:15:13 Nabs? Hi. -
00:04:18:19 Hey Diri,
now look here… -
00:04:22:08 Our quality of education
has deteriorated -
00:04:26:03 because educators don't
have control over the [students]. -
00:04:30:06 [Students] are now starting
to assault educators. -
00:04:33:13 So constantly you're faced
with situations that are imbalanced. -
00:04:40:12 But I'm of the view -
00:04:43:06 that the only time when
human beings change their behaviour -
00:04:48:11 is if there's a threat of
pain. -
00:04:50:22 That is the only time. |

SCENE 4, DUSK: After a dusk shot of the outside of Pantsi’s
home, we then
see him in his room putting on his Wanya Tsotsi overalls in preparation for the nights patrols. Then, sitting on the sofa in the lounge, his brother and sister talk
about the work that he is doing for the community. Pantsi then comes
into the room and his siblings comment and poke fun at him, before they all
pose for a picture together. Pantsi then sits on
the sofa looking anxious ahead of evening patrols. Contributors: Pantsi Obusitse, Maikaelelo Obusitse, Kealeboga Obusitse NAME STRAPS: -Maikaelelo Obusitse

05:56:20 |
SCENE 6, NIGHT:
Pantsi and a couple
of his team members joke about not having enough money to make phone calls in
Pantsi’s car as they go about patrols, then Pantsi speaks briefly about the financial sacrifices that
come with his commitment to Operation Wanya Tsotsi. Then, some of the group’s members arrive at a corner store and ask
to search a few young men standing outside. They are found to be in
possession of knives, which leads to a discussion/argument about walking
around in the community with knives, which results in the “offenders” being
forced to pose for photos. ON SCREEN TEXT: Operation Wanya
Tsotsi posts all the photos they take on their
Facebook page, which has more than 13,000 followers. The team get back into the car and drive on as one of the above “offenders”
complains that he wasn’t guilty of anything. |
-
00:06:07:20 - Pantsi
for life! - Thank you! -
00:06:11:12 What’s funny dude? -
00:06:13:00 Because you want me to
call, knowing I have no airtime, you're making fun of me. -
00:06:18:10 No. We also buy airtime and
spend it all on Wanya Tsotsi
activities. -
00:06:22:11 You see the sad part of
this is that you must also use your airtime -
00:06:26:06 you must use your petrol,
your vehicle. -
00:06:28:17 Everything you must
sacrifice just to save our community. -
00:06:40:09 Hey, hey. -
00:06:43:00 My man, how are you? Can I
please search you? -
00:06:50:17 Do you have a knife, man? -
00:06:54:06 Please come take a picture? -
00:07:10:20 My man, just look at the
phone so we can get the photo and leave. -
00:07:16:05 Who said I will stab
someone with a knife? -
00:07:18:09 Nobody said you would stab
someone. -
00:07:19:24 I don’t walk around
stabbing people, it's just a tool. -
00:07:22:22 We are in an operation. You
know what we're doing. -
00:07:25:13 These things are not... -
00:07:26:23 But they are knives,
brother. Knives. We don’t want knives. -
00:07:32:16 When we do our patrol
tomorrow, if we find you with knives, we will beat you. -
00:07:38:10 I was never guilty. You
have it on you, if you use it, you are guilty. |

SCENE 7, DAY: It’s the next day. Bridger Peters,
co-founder of Operation Wanya Tsotsi,
and another team member are sorting and counting knives, other weapons and
contraband. ON SCREEN TEXT: Operation Wanya
Tsotsi is preparing to hand over to police all
weapons and drugs collected over the past two weeks. Meanwhile, Pantsi in VO talks about how Wanya Tsotsi is lacking
resources and struggling to meet the growing demand for their help. This
helps to set the stakes for the group’s expansion later in the film, and the
sequence that will immediately follow. NAME STRAP/CONTRIBUTOR: Bridger Peters Co-founder -

00:07:54:10 It's not easy to run an organisation like this -
00:07:57:18 especially risking your
life. -
00:08:00:10 So in these three years and
the weapons that we've confiscated -
00:08:04:07 we've achieved a lot and I
think we've done enough. -
00:08:08:06 It'd be very difficult to
continue for another three years -
00:08:12:24 because we don't have the
funds. -

00:08:54:21 OK, so that's about it. -

good that we're trying to do. |

SCENE 8, DUSK
INTO NIGHT: We see a few different shots of Pantsi
walking around Galeshewe on patrols as dusk turns
into night, then he’s at a car window asking about someone who is in
“critical condition” He and Bridger are then in a house where they speak to someone who
has been assaulted with a hammer and needs an ambulance. In the end, they
decide to take him to the hospital themselves. SCENE 9, NIGHT:
Still on nightly patrols, Wanya Tsotsi continue from Cliffie in
the scene above and find themselves intervening at a home where they deal
with a domestic dispute between a distraught mother and her son, who they
force to beg for forgiveness. Contributors: Pantsi Obusitse, Bridger Peters. SCENE 10,
NIGHT: ON SCREEN TEXT: Operation Wanya
Tsotsi is searching for a suspect in a violent
robbery From the mother, the pace picks up as the group look for a repeat
offender and community members also gather around baying for his blood. The suspect is hit, tazered, led through
the streets, then forced to the ground where he has water thrown over him and
is administered a strong “blessing”. Meanwhile, in VO, Pantsi talks about the
meaning and method behind the “blessing”. Contributors: Pantsi Obusitse and Operation Wanya Tsotsi team members |
-
00:09:10:13 I hear he is in critical
condition. -
00:09:14:09 They did call an ambulance
this guy has been hit with a hammer. -
00:09:19:15 We need an ambulance
urgently. -
00:09:22:21 How long will you take? We're
waiting here. -
00:09:30:20 Sir, you say you got the
call at 7 o'clock, it's now close to 9 o'clock. -
00:09:36:02 Perhaps because of the
description of the injuries they don't think it's important -
00:09:41:10 which is a problem. -
00:09:43:01 I think the best thing is
we'll have to carry you. -
00:09:45:00 - What's your name? -
Clifford -
00:09:48:00 Clifford. Cliffie. -
00:09:49:22 We were busy looking for
criminals and now we're dealing with patients. -
00:09:54:00 Hug me Cliffie,
hug me, hug me Cliffie. -

Relax. -
00:10:13:09 Tell us Grandma. -
00:10:15:17 It's because I pity him
that he abuses me like this. -
00:10:21:00 You speak rudely to your
mother in front of us. -
00:10:23:00 How should we feel? -
00:10:24:22 I'm sick. This child will

00:11:13:16 We had to take an approach

abnormal situation. -
00:11:23:15 He needs to get hit. -
00:11:26:03 Like I said before and I'm
going to repeat it -
00:11:29:20 the only way a human being
changes their behaviour -
00:11:33:16 is if there's a threat of
pain. -
00:11:38:01 Blessing is a measure that
is corrective that we administer. -
00:11:43:06 You in your own dictionary
you call it corporal punishment. -
00:11:48:18 Someone else would call it
assault. -
00:11:53:01 We're blessing you so you change to an acceptable behaviour
in society. -
00:12:07:14 The reason why we stood up -
00:12:09:20 when all those who are in
government and positions of responsibility -
00:12:14:06 cannot fight crime, cannot
help our people -
00:12:16:16 God chose us. |

12:20:20 |
SCENE 11, DAY: We come into this scene with a group of young guys smoking drugs in
the shack, complaining about receiving blessings. They give a sense of the
failings of the violent approach of OWT, and also
the lack of job opportunities available to them. |

Tsotsi is s**t man. -
00:12:27:05 They damage the youth, you

00:12:47:19 For a TV I didn't steal. -
00:12:49:24 Pantsi
knows me. -
00:12:52:03 He beats you everywhere, he
doesn't care. -
00:12:56:14 We're going to tell you the
God's truth, we're stealing. -
00:12:59:07 And I hope to work and I
wish to work. -
00:13:03:16 But no job. -
00:13:08:19 I feel like my luck is
running away. -
00:13:11:15 It's like the community
they're feeling like they can judge us. -
00:13:16:01 These aren't things to be
judged. -
00:13:19:01 We're just doing it for our
enjoyment. -
00:13:22:24 We're not thugs. |

00:14:11:06 We must just cut off their heads. -
00:14:24:02 I've realised the only thing
that helps me relax is football. -
00:14:28:21 You try to do your best. -
00:14:30:20 When you score people celebrate with you. -
00:14:32:20 When your team wins people appreciate you as a captain. -
00:14:37:01 That's the only thing that you kick
and you don't hurt anyone it's just a ball. -
00:14:44:01 So those are the things that keep you sane. |

SCENE 13, DUSK: ON SCREEN TEXT: Operation Wanya
Tsotsi has been called to recover a stolen
cellphone from a repeat offender. Scene opens with sunset shots after the football match, then we see
Operation Wanya Tsotsi
pulling a guy out of his house, slapping him around, throwing him into a car
and taking him to the police station. This serves to show the complex
relationship between Operation Wanya Tsotsi and the police. |

-
00:16:30:18 We as Wanya
Tsotsi, we don't have a beef against the police. -
00:16:34:16 We're there because the
police are also crying foul -
00:16:40:22 that they don't have the
necessary resources. -
00:16:43:11 So we don't want to be
better than the police -
00:16:46:01 because we're not the
police, we don't want to be compared to the police. -
00:16:49:20 All we want is a
relationship where all of us will work together -
00:16:58:03 towards the fight against
crime. |

SCENE 15, DAY: ON SCREEN TEXT: With Operation Wanya Tsotsi’s resources spread thin, an informal settlement on
the edge of Galeshewe has experienced a spike in
violent crime. After general b-roll shots of daily life in Galeshewe,
we’re in the car with Pantsi on the way to Homevale, the community mentioned in the text above. He
takes a call en route from a desperate community
member. We get to Homevale and Pantsi
seems tense. He talks about gangs. Pauses in silence. Then gets out to
address his colleagues. Contributors: Pantsi Obusitse, Bridger Peters |

now. -
00:17:29:22 Yes I am. -
00:17:38:11 I'm only worried about when
youngsters start fighting each other -
00:17:48:21 and we can't afford to have
other gangs. -

SCENE 15, DAY
INTO NIGHT: Pantsi walks up to
the assembled group. He addresses them and asks what the problems are.
They’re angry and frustrated. Feeling abandoned by the police, they are
desperately seeking assistance from Wanya Tsotsi. Then the meeting breaks and the group, led by Pantsi, immediately goes to root out some of the

00:18:13:10 How are you? -
00:18:17:03 - You called a meeting,
right? - Yes. -
00:18:23:04 People, we received the
complaint to investigate what the problems are here. -
00:18:29:10 You are the community, you
must say what the problems are. -
00:18:33:22 And if you have a solution,
tell us what you think should happen. -
00:18:37:22 We must remember it's for
our children. -
00:18:40:19 We'll start here. -
00:18:42:05 The corner shop is so packed and our children get robbed. -
00:18:46:02 The drugs also come out of
that space. -
00:18:48:14 This is what happens at
those corner shops. -
00:18:50:17 The police are called but
do nothing. -
00:18:53:13 The danger is walking
around outside, the danger for our children. -
00:18:57:08 You raise your child
correctly in the house but the devil gets him
outside. -
00:19:01:14 Pantsi,
you are not liked for standing up. -
00:19:05:01 If the police don't want to
work with us then we will work with you my friend Pantsi. -
00:19:09:19 That's how I feel. Thank
you Pantsi. -
00:19:12:17 Remember, to protect
yourself is a natural right. -
00:19:16:10 It's not a right that you have to vote for. -
00:19:18:21 This meeting, I saw in the
paper you asked the police to be here. -
00:19:23:06 You asked Wanya Tsotsi to be here. The councillor should be here. -
00:19:26:18 Here's Wanya
Tsotsi. Here's the councillor.
The police are not here. -
00:19:36:19 You smoke with them. -
00:19:38:14 Tell your guys they are not
welcome here. -
00:19:42:17 When we come again we won't come to talk. -
00:19:46:09 - Cheers man. - OK let's go
that side. -
00:19:55:03 Don't run away. -
00:19:56:08 Turn around. -
00:19:58:01 Against the wall. -
00:19:59:06 I stand for a society that
we must build. A society that'd have a future. -
00:20:04:18 But I've never been
perfect. -
00:20:06:12 Where's the bag? -
00:20:08:06 Don't talk about the money,
where's the bag? -
00:20:11:01 I honestly never took the
bag. -
00:20:13:18 Do you smoke marijuana? -
00:20:22:08 There comes a time when all
of us cross that line. -
00:20:26:09 I realise
that no human being should be treated like that. -
00:20:30:20 When you've got a
conscience like myself it is something that eats you
as a person. -
00:20:37:04 But it's something that
needs to be done. |

SCENE 16, DAY: After a bit of Galeshewe daytime b-roll,
we cut back to Pantsi in the car again here on the
way to pick up his daughter. After picking her up, we are given a sense of
what is at stake for him personally, and what he stands to lose (and has
already lost) through his commitment to Wanya Tsotsi. He has a heartfelt interaction with his son about
buying a goat, and as he drives off, with his son waving to the car, he
speaks about the dissolution of his marriage. Contributors: Pantsi Obusitse, Tebogo Obusitse. |
-
00:20:47:17 We're going to pick up Tshepang.
That's my daughter, my first born. -
00:20:52:17 I think, not I think, I believe that I've done a good
job with regard to my daughter -
00:21:02:07 because she's one person who has never disappointed me. -
00:21:10:14 Your child's been chosen to play a hockey match on
Tuesday 15 May. -
00:21:17:05 Tshepang is that your brother? -
00:21:23:09 What happened? Didn't he go to school? -
00:21:30:12 - Hi, are you sick? - No I'm
not sick. -
00:21:34:08 Now why did you come early? -
00:21:35:18 - You must give this to your sister. - You must buy me a
goat now. -
00:21:40:00 Yeah, I'll buy you a goat but
I'll see you later. -
00:21:42:22 Cheers dog get inside now. -
00:21:45:23 Get inside now man. -
00:21:48:02 Those are my offspring. -
00:21:50:22 Male or female, husband or wife -
00:21:52:18 there's no person who'd want to be in a relationship -
00:21:55:21 with an absent person -
00:21:57:24 and I was forever not at home. -
00:22:00:20 So in the marriage itself you grow apart -
00:22:03:19 because of the gap the distance between the two of you. -
00:22:08:22 Me and the mother we always have the best interest of
these kids at heart. -
00:22:15:23 As long as I'm in the situation I'm in it's better that
I don't risk their lives. |

SCENE 18, DAY: Scene opens at the main taxi rank in downtown Kimberley, with
footage giving a sense of the hustle and bustle of daily life. Then we see Pantsi on his phone, greeting people at the taxi rank. He meets up with members who he then walks through the city with,
passing the police on the way, and carrying out stop and searches. Whilst all of this is happening: ON SCREEN TEXT: Meanwhile, the group has also been been granted a lucrative security contract by the public
transport association in Kimberley city centre. Pantsi, in VO, talks
about the benefits of this new deal both for Operation Wanya
Tsotsi and the town of Kimberley in general. Contributors: Pantsi Obusitse and Operation Wanya Tsotsi members |

comrade! -
00:23:21:10 Hey Pantsi! -
00:23:23:20 Hey there. Hello gents,
thanks. -
00:23:29:23 We made a deal with the taxi
industry. -
00:23:32:13 They're going to give us a
certain amount of money -
00:23:35:20 if we help them to marshall their taxis. -
00:23:39:20 - Hello Pantsi!
- Hello! -
00:23:42:15 What motivated us to agree
to that -
00:23:46:14 is when we realised that every time there's a robbery in town -
00:23:51:22 thugs run to the taxi rank
because they want a quick exit out of town. -
00:23:56:12 So since our arrangement
we've confiscated too many knives. -
00:24:02:05 Turn around. Do you have a
knife man? -
00:24:04:23 - No. - You say no, what's
this? -
00:24:07:10 Don't worry you're a
celebrity man. -
00:24:14:18 and people have confidence -
00:24:16:12 so it helps a lot. |
