2 min

Ben and Tim debate whether Taki deserves sympathy, concluding that Ninja and Yolandi encouraging him to stab his brother reflects worse on them than on him, before wishing the family well and moving on.

In this bit5 moments
  • Ninja and Yolandi reportedly encouraged Taki to stab his brother, then congratulated him for "becoming a man" at age 12.
  • Tim concedes that describing the family dynamic is actually an indictment of the parents, not a defense of Taki.
  • Tim settles on the assessment that it wasn't a great family unit for anyone involved and wishes everyone well.
  • Taki's mother should have known the deal when she sent her child to live with De Antware in the middle of South Africa.
  • Tim on Die Antwoord's music: it's fine until you realize you need to be on Bassalts running around the bush with a machete to actually enjoy it.
