MY TWO HOURS IN A JAIL CELL

Jeez, what a vibe!

About 250 of you caught the two hour live video streaming broadcast we did from the wooden jail cell at the V&A Waterfront, in which Bob is serving a self-imposed jail sentence.

Why is he doing it, you ask?

Good question, Aguado…

Basically, Bob is involved in a fundraiser for his BobsForGood charity which aims to give shoes to every child in underpriviledged communities. This is done via their schools and with the assistance of the likes of the Minister of Education. And, more importantly, YOU.

I dropped some of my own loot into the bin, as I experienced only a snippet of what life must be like for him over this next week.

Not that I came even close to the full vibe he is dealing with. Think about his time alone at night in that little wooden cell. Are you aware that the Waterfront cleaners come in around 23h30 every night and go ballistic until around 5am? They sing and vacuum and gaan-aan and aren’t even shy to blast the odd vuvuzela – which they’re allowed to do because there are normally no customers in the centre during those hours. That’s just how they roll!

And we’re not even beginning to get into the freaks that he has to deal with. You know what I’m talking about. The wieeeerdo’s!!

Luckily I brought him a box of goodies from Miss K to keep him going!

Visit him in the V&A Waterfront’s Barrow Court any time until the 20th of February where you can make a pledge.
