Hykie Berg is well known as a film and TV actor, and as the winner of the first Survivor South Africa. He is also an addict. At the height of his success, Hykie lost everything, including, nearly, his life. Here he shares his story, frankly and honestly. From the drug dens of Hillbrow to a maximum security cell in Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital, God was with him, and saved him from certain death. Hykie reminds us that God's love is meant for each of us. God never gives up on us, no matter what.

Hykie Berg
ULTIMATE SURVIVOR
.....
It definitely wasn’t easy raising three children virtually alone. Besides, I wasn’t an easy child. I challenged everything that was the norm or status quo in those days. I definitely didn’t want to be like my parents.
What happened between my mom and dad, and whatever had gone wrong in their marriage, had nothing to do with us kids. Their lives were their own; they made choices for which they had to take responsibility. There are always three sides to the unravelling of a marriage: the two spouses’ respective sides, and the truth. It’s what happens during and after a divorce, and how the parents and/or third parties handle it, that determine how much damage is caused.
