A fight with a very close friend changed the life of Bafana Bidi forever.

Im not proud. I murdered my friend. We were close by the way, may his soul rest in peace. We were fighting and we rolled. I had a knife and I stabbed him once in the heart and he died, unfortunately, says Bidi.

Bidi is turning 22 and now on parole after receiving a murder sentence.
