Gymnastics Boy Lual Big Apologizes to Mading Aweil Community After Insulting Aweil People

Gymnastics performer and SSPDF soldier Lual Big has apologized to the Mading Aweil community after he insulted Aweil people in a video that attracted public attention.

Lual Big, who hails from Mading Aweil, made the apology during an interview with South Sudanese content creator Akok Captain.

He said he was disappointed and hurt by what happened to him, adding that he had been going through a difficult time.

“For me, I was so disappointed with my home people because of what happened to me, and it was painful. I have been down,” Lual Big said.

He also appreciated Akok Captain for reaching out to him and said he had tried to find another way to help himself.

“For me, I need to apologize to Mading Aweil Community because nobody is perfect. Mading Aweil is bigger than us, and after that, we follow them,” he said.

Lual Big also asked those who were offended by his remarks to forgive him.

“For those who were not happy with me for the reason I insulted Aweil, please forgive me,” he said.

He further said he had been experiencing bad dreams at night and believed they could be connected to his remarks about Mading Aweil.

“For me, I used to dream badly at night, so I thought maybe these Mading Aweil things are following me because I insulted them,” Lual Big narrated.

Lual Big became widely known after a video circulated on social media showing him being beaten by fellow soldiers, following his earlier remarks against his home community.
