The Alec Hogg Show - Meet David Scott, SA's YouTube sensation The Kiffness: gifted, brave, brilliant - and wise. Ep 10

Loading player...
Our guest in episode is an extraordinarily talented and courageous young man whom the Scott family call David but the rest of South Africa knows as The Kiffness.

But as you’ll hear in this deeply moving discussion with a 32 year old with wisdom well beyond his years, The Kiffness is unbowed. Because he figures that without freedom of expression, there’re no point in calling ourselves a democracy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
