From a distance people mistake them for convicted criminals in their orange overall uniform, but they are recovered drug addicts from Freedom Recovery Centre in Nigel, Ekurhuleni.
They are active gumboot dancers who raise awareness through music and dance.
According to the founder of the group, Joana Zanele Mabaso, the gumboot dance helps them to fight addiction and keep them busy instead of having idle mind thinking about drugs all the time.
Since the outbreak of coronavirus, the group has not been able to perform. The group normally entertain people at the Gauteng Department of Social Development events to entertain guests and raise awareness on substance abuse. It has performed at number of these events.
They are not only unable to perform at events, but they cannot also visit their families due to corona virus." 
We have not been home to see our families; we are trying to protect them from getting infected. But that has not stopped us from rehearsing and keeping ourselves busy.
We will continue to inspire and motivate drug addicts at the centre as we did before lockdown by singing," she said.
Mabaso added "To youth that feels like it is the end of the world or whatever life throws at you it is never too late there is always a second chance and where there is life there is hope."
The Gumboot dance was invented by the native South African mineworkers as a means of communication with each other because talking in mines was forbidden therefore gold mine workers communicated through the boot, hand, and chest slaps.
The group leader Remember Phungwayo said he cannot wait to go back to performing for audiences which brings smiles to people and after each performance everyone looks happy.
"Let alone the dance some of the recovered addicts were able to know who they are during the performance. We are hoping to see majority of us changing people's lives through the dance, songs and to also to raise awareness about drugs".
