FROM SUN CITY TO ZONDERWATER... THE FIGHT DIDN'T END — IT EVOLVED.

After betrayal sent him from the streets of the East Rand into the cold grip of Sun City Prison, Sizwe Mlambo thought he'd hit rock bottom. But Sun City was just the beginning.

Transferred to Zonderwater Maximum Security, South Africa's most unforgiving prison, Sizwe enters a world where survival is an art — and principles can get you killed. Inside, gangs rule with blood, loyalty is currency, and redemption is seen as weakness. But from the shadows of confinement, Sizwe begins to rise again — not as a gangster, but as a leader.

Through battles, betrayal, and brutal truths, he begins forming The Creed — a movement built on honour, brotherhood, and a new moral code. While the system tries to break him, he forges alliances, mentors rebels, and writes the words that will one day shake the nation.

When a forbidden broadcast leaks from inside Zonderwater, the whole country is forced to ask:
Can a man who burned down his past... rebuild a future for others?

PRISON AND PRINCIPLES is a bold, unflinching portrait of one man's transformation behind bars, and the fire he lit in places no light was meant to reach.

He entered prison as a number.
He's leaving it as a voice.
But at what cost?
