I have come to both love and fear Deon Wigget’s voice. His words, so carefully chosen and expertly delivered, also pack the power of a hammer blow. Essential listen for, well, everyone.

I was referred to this podcast recently and could not stop listening until I got to the end of the last episode. Deon and the team present difficult material in an engaging and thought-provoking way. It is my fervent hope that this podcast will not only help to achieve justice but also spark a...Read full review »

Couldn’t stop listening. Waited every week for the new episode. You just don’t know. Do you ?

Brave podcast telling a hard-to-hear story in a compelling way. It can’t be easy to delve into these dark recesses but it needs doing. EVERYONE should listen to this podcast.

Thank-you for such a brave, compelling podcast! And I can’t say enough about your incredible writing/storytelling talent. It’s a rare human that can take something tragic and hurtful… and turn it into a creative masterpiece of bravery - not only in what you say/write… but also in what you DO!...Read full review »

This podcast is more of what SA & the world needs. Predators deserve to be outed & children deserve to be safe! Keep doing what you’re doing. I can’t stop listening!

Thank you Deon for sharing your story, you are so brave
KathleenCTa via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 12/15/21
Deon I want to thank you for your bravery. As a non-conformist I’ve have issues with the obsession of elite schools with their precious heritage and sport. Thank you for making the monsters real and not merely the imaginings of sceptical parents. Spotlight on these boy schools and what they hide...Read full review »

Clearly very well researched and sensitively presented.

Thank you Deon and team for your courage and persistence in getting this very critical podcast out. I have been following the issue with paedophilia and technology for years, more as a very concerned mom in the tech industry with two little daughters. Never has this issue hit so close to home. I...Read full review »

My heart breaks for these children, a place where children should be safe seems to be the opposite. Your investigation has uncovered so very much, things have been discovered about people and schools, that never would have come to light without you and your team.
JaxPro13 via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 11/01/21
Mind blowing, really difficult to listen at times but much needed revelations. Lots to ponder on and look out for. Thank you to everyone involved. Thomas Kruger.. we remember!
Tumilm via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 10/29/21
I cannot believe that my sister and not a fellow teacher put me onto this. I cannot understand how it’s not the only thing we’re talking about let alone that I’ve not heard about it until now.
KlineSmith via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 10/28/21
Just listened to Season 1 - well done to Deon. Your courage is outstanding. You made a flower out of your trauma, one of the most powerful lines I have ever heard. You can be proud. I don’t even know you, but I am proud of you!

Fascinating. Compelling. Brilliant !

Well done team on fantastic work! Keep it up. It is so upsetting but thank you so so much.

Well done to Deon and his team!
AllyAdams2016 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/21
I can’t believe the systematic failure of these children and I’m grateful for the journalism team that are revealing it.

“Predators go to where children are, and children go to school”
WhereAreYourEars via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 10/14/21
Deon’s brave initiative has brought to light a dark sub-culture prevalent in some of our most prolific institutions and I hope encourages more survivors to come forward and tell their stories.
Simone Brandi - City Bowl via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 10/14/21
My neighbor here in Texas recommended we listen to the riveting podcast. Deon’s superb painting with words, the way the investigation is woven into the culture of those elite boys schools is genius. I am terrified to say this but I am almost waiting for Drakensberg Boys Choir school to appear. ...Read full review »

Michele Quite amazing and brave and impeccably researched and presented Incredible podcast - huge accolades to you and your whole team Dion
summerstrand via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/08/21
I hesitate to say this is magical because of the content but it is. This podcast is a work of art. The narrative is compelling. I’m in upstate NY in US so I love the accents. I love the descriptions of the landscape. At the same time my heart aches for the victims involved. This is...Read full review »

It’s hard to give a review of 5 stars to a topic involving the abuse of children, but Deon’s investigation and reporting on this topic, which seems to be its on epidemic lately, is extraordinary. It hits home as an old girl of sister school DSG but also since I have a young teenage son who is...Read full review »
Mac_addict2016 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 10/05/21
This is one of the best pieces of investigative journalism — but at the same time its one of the scariest things to listen to. Each week I find myself more frustrated by what has happened to these children, while at the same time optimistic that with pieces like this we will rid our schooling...Read full review »

Deon has a wonderful way of weaving words together to paint a picture and these stories need to be continued to be told!

Wow
You guys are doing important and great work. Amazing job and Im listening to all your episodes. Amazing story telling and investigative reporting
Farhad.Azarbakhsh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/21
An incredible podcast- well written, narrated and set out. This series left me with icy cold fear in my veins for the young souls navigating a very scary world. Thank you for the very important work you are doing
Satahj88 via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 09/25/21
What a powerful storyteller with a wonderful voice perfect for storytelling. The narrator presents his excruciatingly sad story with honesty. His choice of words is impeccable. His strength and will to overcome shines bright throughout the entire story. The ending is perfectly uplifting.
PodcastJunkie25 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/21
Incredibly well-produced and love Deon’s voice and narration style; albeit of a horrific experience. I read the coverage that time in Die Burger newspaper, but obviously this podcast provides much more detail. When I therefore for the 1st time heard the reference to Willowmore, I had to stiffle a...Read full review »

Wow....everything about this besides the sad story is truly a masterpiece. Absolutely worth a listen. Thanks Deon and congrats on the award. Much deserved 🙌🏼
Gareth Martin via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/23/20
This meets the highest standards you set yourself, for justice, activism and art. As revenge, it works well too! Beautifully written and crafted, a searingly honest portrayal of a ghastly era, that negotiates ethical minefields with sensitivity and skill. Hats off to you, Dion and team!!
Siobhan in Sydney via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/14/20
Well told Deon. I binge listened - leaned fully in to hear it unfold. Let this not be your only story though ... it may just be the one that got in the way of the many others. The one that had to be told to free up the rest. Look forward to hearing them .
studiolistener via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 01/09/20
Deon’s well-told and produced account of his catharsis will give strength to others who have suffered this crime. It has for me. I listened to all 4 episodes today in one sitting. Dave.
daveisleofman via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/02/19
I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been to research, write and narrate, so beautifully, this story of shocking abuse. But thank you for doing it Deon. Thank you for giving other victims a voice and thank you for saving future victims. You should be so proud of yourself and your father...Read full review »

A podcast that is experienced. A wonderfully beautiful telling of an horrific story. Thank you.
ADinJozi via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 11/28/19
Deon is a brave and exceptional storyteller. The content is difficult to listen to but he has a gift with words that has me marveling at his descriptions of some very mundane things. He is also wickedly funny. Something not easily achieved given the subject matter.
AliyahO via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/28/19
Well done Mr Wiggett. I hope you get the outcome you deserve. You have a great voice; I hope you will do more podcasts or at least some narration.
