❤@@OscarMakgaka-el3ir
As always, this is the gift no can take from u
58:00 If you do that there will be no need for the EFF or ANC in future
This tabane person looks like he has no idea what's going on here.Zuma's party is the only party that looks like has an idea of what fighting for freedom is.black people who are disadvantaged relate to what Zuma stands for.jj is someone who has made it in life but most of the blacks have not and they will always stand with someone who has made millionaires out of blacks,built most tvet colleges built university.zuma
As an eff member, i like JJ Tabana though he critic us anytime but u can see is from the good heart not a puppet. We have a brave prof here who is able to humorously say it as it is and also willing to listen. The future of this country is in the hands of young black conscious leaders
As an EFF member who worships a big mouth empty head like JUJU who stole the monies from the old peeples at VBS , your opinion does not matter. 😊
Since they fired him at Power Fm. It is boring
The future of this country is in the future of young entrepreneurs,ethical professionals, innovative academics and a youthful skilled labour force! Nothing else!
Why cant the future of this country just be in the hands of conscious people> Does it have to be in the hands of "young black" conscious leaders. Your mindset is wrong and whilst there are people like you that only look at their own race this country will never go anywhere decent. Wake up, you live in a globalised world that is not race/colour centric
Dr J.J Tabane we Salute you both Sizwe for your contribution in our society.
Prof not doctor😊
Salute for his opinion viva Msholozi aluta kontinua MK ❤
But guys let's admit that Cyril Ramaphosa is a total failure of a human being
He's only good in the eyes of the DA and fellow whites
Worse than failure,i always Qn myself that if they claim to b at the center of negotiating our transition.who was he representing in those negotiations😳Bcos surely he didn't represent black africans bcos to this day we didn't benefit anything i mean zero benefits
Not really the party as a whole is a failure, he and zuma created chaos and sadly its mostly hard to rise from failure
@@sokopinions i disagree with u big time,the man has no leadership skill is fact.he stand for nothing,he blive in nothing as a sitting president.he even said it is not his duty to create jobs and stop loadshedding.the guy has zero leadership, in his 5 yrs he achieved nothing but to b exposed as a fraudstar,money was looted more under his presidency and watch and he did nothing.he is useless he has zero skill to lead this nation.he was useless deputy-president now worse useless president.the guy doesn't even blive in all this speeches he is making😂🤣
He is a bussiness man..he can't rule the country...that is why he is a failure..i agree with you
I love the phrase " doing God's work" by JJ. He is indeed truth to power
Sizwe is a good listener and that makes him a good interviewer.
witnessing Sizwe's growth and the respect his guests afford him is quite impressive. keep growing and rising brother. thank you for the high caliber conversations. JJ's witty and authentic take on our challenges as country never disappoints.
Thanks. They respect me and my audience. 😁🙌🏽
❤
pfffft😂😂
Pp@@Sizwe.MpofuWalsh
Dr. J.J. Tabane is a GOAT. ❤ Thank you for inviting him. 🎉
JJ is a straight forward person he calls a spade a spade. He represents people on the ground. He doesn't ask the modified or reconstructed written questions at his show to the coward politicians. He is a truly direct person who ask exactly what I can ask as a citizen. He represents us he is passing our msg as it is ❤❤❤❤
Brilliant interview gentleman, factual and to the point. Well done
This conversation was mind blowing ^ Prof JJ Tabane is a really loaded man- He speaks from the overflow... What a legend!
Thanks so much. Always appreciate your views.
@Sizwe.MpofuWalsh Your interviews are so empowering Doc... More growth to you & this platform ✨️✨️✨️
Dr Mpofu this interview was good however it felt short hopefully you will bring Dr Tabane again. Well done keep it up
The MK party will have more than 30 seats in parliament. I won't vote for them but nobody can deny that Zuma has a huge support
But why you don't predict the party you will vote for. Or you will vote for them
But why you don't predict the party you will vote for. Or you will vote for them
I'll be voting for Patriotic Alliance and we will get about 15-20 seats
Tank u for being honest
Realistically speaking that is not possible. Even after 4 years he won't get 30 seats.
One of the best minds , Dr JJ Tabane.
The work turn around time of SMWX is crazy. Work ethic on another level. Keep up bafo🙌🏿
Thanks! Glad you see the effort. 🙌🏽
You are the best @@Sizwe.MpofuWalsh
This was quite frank to a very large extent. Quite enjoyable to watch. Thank you !
The best thing about this episode for me is that it proves that despite all the problems facing SA , we can have a ' fireside chat ' which is like two friends talking openly and honestly without fear of reprisal , and sharing their views on where we are, and where we could go . Many thanks to both of you
I love it here 😩 Thank you Sizwe 🔥
😁🙌🏽
Priceless content as always❤💯 Brilliant questions Dr Sizwe and an excellent analysis by Prof Tabane. Spread the fire💥💥💥
Dr J J Tabane, a man who has earned his stripes and an inspiration to many.
Very interesting conversation, thoroughly enjoyed it 👌
Keep it up brother,U are LIGHT of MZANSI 🇿🇦🤘May God keep yr vision n protection every day, ÀMEN!
JJ was part of the formation of Cope so no surprises about he feels about JZ,Cope failed so he has to wish MK fails. I'm no MK supporter, but he I feel he should have talked about what if MK wins,since he has an idea about when MK losses ,give balanced views don't just hope for violence
MK is euphoria
The way he spoke about Mk was biased and how was JZ responsible for people killing each other during the riots or looting? I was waiting for his comment on Eff and I was not surprised because Julius is his home boy and he praised them, saying they are revolutionary kids...that concluded that the comments for Mk vs Eff were coming from a biased point of view and not a balanced political view.
I didn't expect this guy to say something meaningful about Mk ...his one of the guys hu were vocal about JZ so call 9 wasted years
JJ hates Zuma with passion and i believe he is a traibalist
@@sandilemntungwa1538 yes my brother
Wow ..... when it comes to Zuma, JJ was definitely not the academic with PhD, he was very personal and punched hard on JZ bellow the belt. JJ hates the fact that he didn't see this "mk" thing coming and he sees the fact that this mk is a final nail on ANC, shattering his dream of ANC rising from ashes. 😂
I wouldn't agree with you more. Before the question on Zuma, I was surprised he kept referring to Mbeki not a word about Zuma. He jus doesn't like the man, biased analysis on his part... I love the interview though
Dream on zupta puppet, dream on. And continue to be in denial of the "facts" that your master is thug who belongs to jail. There is one thing you mk puppets will after the Elections, that politics are Worn in the Media Platform. VIVA ANC VIVA ✊✊😮
✊MK will win ad we love Zuma
What if Zuma once messed with him
Its nt like he doesnt like him,we also feel the same.we still dnt understand hw we made him our president.its like we were bewitched.that guy wasted our time and resources.we are in this mess bcoz of him.
JJ should not be asked to comment about Zuma because he has a long time personal grudge against him. Unfortunately, he will never see anything positive about him no matter the evidence. He will never forgive him for COPE'S failure.
No man!People who love JZ are corrupt and some love him for being zulu!Tribalism plays a big role there!Ethnic cleansing starts like that and we see what Israel is doing to Palestinians!
100%bro
That's true
Zuma collapsed everything
JJ was spokesman of COPE when it was formed 2008, so we understand the hatred towards Zuma
JJ was one of those who were running around setting up COPE with just one mission which was to get rid of JZ. In fact, their action can be interpreted as a Coup which failed. So he was one of the rebels. He talks about something he knows. I thought he was going to compare MK with their project Cope.
They were slowing Zuma down.
JJ Tabane sounded like one of those who make the mistake of undermining Zuma as just a rural "Zulu boy". He was so balanced in his criticism until it came to Zuma and his hot emotions got the better of him,rather unfortunate for a learned person of his stature in the 4th estate.
Is he learned simply because he is called professor. At tertiary a lot of people make it via copying. Judge him on the quality of current reasoning. A person who sees good in the likes of oGungubele! ORamokgopa!
He is going to bit the dust as he did with COPE
Thanks to Dr. Sizwe Mpofu and Dr. JJ Tabane for your fresh perspectives. Keep it up...
Working from home and appreciating this share so much. Well done to you both!
I was not expecting anything positive about MK from JJ he is the COPE 📢
Don't go there, MK. N Cope?
Nothing positive about MK, JJ stated facts
JJ will always character assassinate JZ every chance he gets, his(JJ) foolishness of thinking that COPE would win the election still paralysis him till this day, together with the Polokwane conference nightmare(like his president Mbeki). JZ knows very well that MK will not win the election however he only needs just enough numbers to play on the national politics. Everyone who is politically conscious knows that rebel groups in this country cannot outplay SADF especially when they are not being sponsored by the West of which JZ is not a stooge of the whites. JJ is just decamping MK using fearmongering politics in favor of those who once told us that ZUMA&MUGABE owns mansions in Dubai and they are neighbors.
JJ tried his best on JZ but MK is there for long run.
any permanent leaders yet?
Viva mk
for the long run ? Zuma’s old … very old. perhaps he’ll be dead by the time the next election ? (i may be too 🤷🏽♂️) no one knows the future, but it’s probably not MK 🤷🏽♂️
Please bring JJ back, fire interview, 🔥🔥 Sizwe the respect you have for your guests is on another level
Thanks for the Interview Sizwe, always good to see people who Tell the Truth @JJ!
J J Tabane you are so original. May you grow and instil discipline and groom zthe next generation. You are a rare breed ❤
Thanks to both of you for your national service
Festivity of Wisdom......Excellent Interview
Completely agree with JJ on Ntate Panyaza. I will always stand by him. 💪🏿
Our very best political analyst Mr JJ Tabane. Keep it up Sir, there's nothing tribal when you criticise Mr Zuma and his MK party, he must give other people chance. No third term for Mr Zuma.
As a former bigwig in Cope that was formed by those who hated Zuma and called him a Zulu boy,this man has been very consistent in his crusade against Zuma but he will eat humble pie.He will be shown that mfana ke mfana.
Exceptional conversation with two of the greatest minds in Mzansi! Thank you for being honest and frank! We need more truthful conversations like this! 🏆🙌🏾 thank you Dr Mpofu!
Thank you! 🙌🏼
"Clever black"JJ never disappoint on hatred of JZ...😂😂😂
When stupid blacks realise what Zuma stole from them they will also gate Zuma
Are you so stupid that you don't know the diffence between the truth and fiction. If you understand the difference, how can you zupta puppets think that those people who are Critic of zupta, "Hate" him. Niyakula ngesifo esisodwa. Nizoba 💪after the Elections. If you're thinking that you will Loot you looters i government will be ready and ordinary south African citizens will be ready to defend are hard earned Democracy. WE READY AND YOU MUST REMEMBER THIS IN WHATEVER UNDERGROUND RALLIES YOU ARE HOLDING.👀🔭🤘😮
Clever black
He can't even hide it
And his love for the DA leadership..snake this one
Thanks for bringing this, @SMWX. I have respect for ntate Tabane. He is not averse to truth. He is not intimidated by power, neither is he power hungry. I think the solution to this country (as I watch this interview) is that people people of integrity who have clue about good governance should inject themselves with ambition to ascend to power... Let me pause here.
sorry inject themselves with what??
True 🤞
@@Expose_bankers_and_auctioneers 😁
To both Sizwe AND JJ, this show was PRICELESS!! Thank both of you for the conversation.
It's a marvel to experience the growth of your channel Dr, keep grinding.
Thanks!
a marvel alright
Salute my king Mr JJ Tabani very interesting conversation thank guys 😊
We know and acknowledged the the fact that you JJ, you never like Zuma n we accept that... but we will vote for MK
Great interview. I like both gentleman. 👏👏
Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation. Thank you, Sizwe and team!
JJ a living guru in Political analysis and education. Thank you sizwe for this Interview
Thanks for bringing up former president Zuma, professor jj is GOAT ❤
We are here for a robust talk..no filter... What has Ramaphosa done since he reign
Nothing
I don't think you quite understand that Ramaphosa and all the comrades' loyalty is to the ANC and not the citizens of South Africa.
Is drama after drama thats it🙌..he did nothing🚮
For a country to work, first regulate NGO cause they are always pushing the agenda of the super power countries and up to sofar there's only one president that managed to grow the economy of this country it was Mbeki lot of infrastructure and economic activities were happening under is tenure,the rest I don't think much was done under them.
almost as soon as he stepped up, we all got locked up & tortured en masse and the crap never stopped since.
So impressive i always respect your analysis both of you so thank you
Ngifisa ukuthi ngelinye ilanga uJJ Tabane akhe avakashele uZuma or bahlangane eStudio bakhulume ubuso nobuso Sikhe sibone ukuthi uyayazi na iPolitiki or uyatshelwa ukuthi makakhulume kabi ngoZuma ngoba ubonakala ngathi unenZondo
Haha...hahaha..."unenZondo" - uJJ noChiefJustice...hahaha...wow good one
Enkulu
Always wondered why he always used to call him Zuma before he resigned as president but he always addresses Ramaphosa as President Ramaphosa....he isn't neutral this dude
Talking rubbish abt Zuma
Please ask Professor to have his own KZhead channel to post his shows.🙏🙏
JJ Tabane Tells It Like It Is Everytime
Indeed a pleasure listening too and watching JJ Tabani. A man of intelligence, integrity, wisdom and his voiceferous knowledgeable approach to topics discussions and interviews, is profound. A voice of SA indeed in him.
Thanks for watching! 🙌🏾
Great show gentlemen. I wish we could get a part 2... There is so so much to unpack...
A very informative conversation, on the topic of a government of national unity.
Otherwise we are MK💚
Thank you for your kind and exceptional work. Be blessed 🙏
Thank you! 🙏🏾
Beautiful episode.. informative too🔥🔥🔥
Salute Mr Tabana. Keep doing what you're doing. 🙌🏽
It's frank and unfiltered conversations like this that will build our nation and Africa at large. #Ayeye
Taking Sizwe back to the Entity-l Vice Versa days with this one...
MK will surprise many come Election Day. Ngisho kuthiwa ayina PLAN kodwa soyivotela 🤝 Shabhuke
Watching while working 💯, thanks Dr👌🏿
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the two of you together! Loved the energy!
First time I have ever waited for a show to premier, Halfway through it, I almost thought it is going to be a media reflection and what they go through and what we don't understand about what they go through. And this is becoming a trend. Please please ease up on that, yah you and all of us are going through alot, but we are not here for that. We are here to see you live your purpose and passion, giving us analysis, insight, etc, etc. I loved this interview, Prof is amazing, but the interview could have been way better.
Please invite my president, J. S Malema, the people's president. Great interview, I love your work gentlemen.
Ramamina = people's president. Which people?
This is very interesting ,well thought off and informative !!!!!
Two fearful great minds, always good to listen the both of you. The respect that the people you host have for you is just amazing, keep pushing Sizwe
Ramokgopa is your home boy. Of course you wont criticize him.
Felt the same way
That is not an analysis on MK just Tshabane's personal hatred of ZUMA.
Exactly ..... he is trying to mislead people and push them from reality
The knowledge and wisdom from these 2, ohhh 🙏🏽
Thank you Dr Mpofu that was worth listening to. Please give us more of this kind of interviews. It gives us room for thoughts
Thank you Dr Mpofu for bringing Prof JJ Tabane on your show 👏👋👏👋the man is fearless. Please bring Sandile Swana.
Zuma has right to vote for the party of his choice.
These was awesome to listened to both of you and you been helping us to understand what's happening around SA ❤
thanks for bringing him back
Viva Mk
You must also get us Prince Mashele one day my brother ✊🏿
He came last year. Have you watched that one?
Mashele has to fetch his script from Mashaba's house, rather go to the master Mashaba or the Oppenheimers
Mashele is a hired gun not an analyst
Thank you for 100 percent correctly info
It was excellent with JJ
You know watching these interviews, one really gets educated and perspectives of more intellectual people. I like how JJ spoke of what may happen if MK doesn't win.. Nice perspective.
MK have any permanent leaders yet?
We must fix our sound
Keep it up Sizwe, this is co-operation instead of competition, this is maturity braz. If we all blacks can do this, enhance each other with respect we can go back to where we belong
Tan and my brother you are very smart,you say the truths no fear like it is ,it so good listening to your broadcast,🙏
We are tired of people like jj who cannot hide their hatred for Zuma. What can he do for this country. He always critizes other people with no clear solutions
I didn't expect anything good from JJ about Zuma
Bomb 💣 interview. Well done Sizwe. Great show. Doctor met the Professor... A rare occasion to witness.
I'm enjoying this🎉
A most excellent interview. I love how JJ is always fearless in expressing his views. Same as Sizwe. We need more broadcasters (and journalists). JJ and Sizwe are critical, but not for the sake of it - they are critical for the sake of making us better as a people, nation, and as a state.
Thanks! 🙌🏾
Some never looked at what Nxamalala did for the country but they listen to media houses which is the white monopoly houses
Zuma far exceeds all of them and for him to exibit that hatred makes one continue to dislikes him... pure deceptive snake
Good to have have him back...a voice with substance
Thank you very much SMWX and JJ Tabane.🤗
Ramaphosa must fall now and very hard with his foreigners 🤔 😂😮
Viva Zuma ❤
Dr JJ Tabane is a genius, I like his analytics very much convincing.Thanks Dr S Mpofu for hosting such a Stellar guests
