Show Notes
Convicted fraudster Jermaine Prim, currently awaiting sentencing for a 2018 car theft scam, claims he was left without food for three days after being moved back to the high-security C-Max unit at Kgosi Mampuru II prison in Pretoria. During a court appearance on March 30, 2026, Prims lawyer disputed allegations of having a cellphone, stating he used a public phone for a recent interview. Prims claims of drug cartel ties and pressure on others to deny links to a suspended police minister have sparked investigations and headlines. Recently, Prim won a court ruling stating his over three-year solitary stint in C-Max was illegal, and he faces multiple fraud trials and new charges. Sentencing is set for July, adding to his long rap sheet of car thefts and parole busts.
