	~ John Mongrel on punishing disobedience

John Mongrel (?? -2014) was a South African criminal and the leader of the Numbers Gang. Typical of a Number, he was known for his brutality and would kill anyone who violated the gang's various rules, particularly their oaths of silence. Nonetheless, he gained worldwide attention when he agreed to interview British actor and journalist Ross Kemp for the docuseries Ross Kemp on Gangs.

Biography

At 14 years old, John Mongrel was convicted of murder and sentenced to 9 years in Pollsmoor Prison. While there, he went to the 28s, the fighters of the Numbers Gang. He wanted to join the gang, and they told him that he would have to kill a fellow inmate in his cell, giving him a knife in order for him to do so. Upon completing this task, John apparently became a 28.

Career as General

After fighting his way through the ranks, Mongrel became General of the 28s and leader of the Numbers Gang. He was extremely strict about the gang's oath of secrecy and would severely punish anyone who violated it. As a General, Mongrel was tasked with screening new recruits and keeping warders in line. Any warders who lost the favor of the Number would be targets for assassination at the hands of the 27s. If a 27 were to disobey Mongrel's orders, he would kill them himself. He also raped any new inmate who came into his cell and would not join the Number. These inmates would become "wifeys" or "women" (or "ladyboys" as described by Ross Kemp) and Mongrel would switch every three weeks. If an inmate Mongrel wanted to be his "wifey" refused, he would kill him.

Death

Mongrel is believed to have died in 2014, possibly of a heart attack. Some sources claim he had been released from prison.
