Eloquent speaker , impressive. I am a first time voter who is a Tswana person but i will be voting Jacob Zuma on all 3 ballots.
💯 % right direction.
I will be voting for IFP for the very first time in my life, I wish they can have a say in leading KZN , Mr Hlabisa is one leader with integrity . Sizwe your vote to IFP will be in ryt diirection. Viva IFP
IFP better than crooks(ANC, MK and EFF)
lol your clueless with politics .IFP is selling KZN to the white racists and Zuma is fighting against that trying rescue KZN with MK….
IFP = DA...they have a deal called the multiparty charter after elections and you know if they succeed DA will take all the strategic positions.
@@waltermthokozisimathonsi9133 wake them up suddenly the racist mlungu even know how to say Inkatha🤣🤣🤣🤣even like their posts 😂😂
@@waltermthokozisimathonsi9133 strategic position to get the province on track
Actually i will be voting for IFP. Baba Hlabisa 👏👏👏👏
I’m not an IFP supporter but Mr Hlabisa is a Solid leader with integrity ✊🏿.
This man is giving me more than one reason to vote for the Ifp.
Wow im very expressed by Mr Hlabisa his very a good leader, im an IFP Member but this old man is very humbled and 🙏
Let me express myself that I am impressed.
This is what integrity looks like 👍👍👍👍👍👍 RESPECT !
Lo baba makes me proud to be Zulu.
A very humble man
Walk with God, sir I salute you for your honesty
We need more people like this wise humble man who could be a Great Leader to this Beautiful country my vote, my trust and my HOPE goes to your Sir
Now here is a man that can be a calm, level headed and clear leader for a coalition government. A very good leader, excellent negotiator and humble person.
He's a sellout so he makes a perfect collaborator!
His a sellout IFP also get money from the same people as ANC
I didn't expect to like uBaba Hlabisa. Re lesego 🙏
Wow very humble leader.
Thanks for these in depth discussions with different leaders , another impressive South African that I knew nothing about 👍
The day you as the IFP understood that Kokstad uMzimkhulu and Creighton are in KZN, you would do much better in the polls.
So a respect full man Big difference between him and zuma rampies and voetsek eff
I really like and admire this man. I pray they come in for kzn. I feel he is a gentle and safe political leader. God bless you Mr Hlabisa. We need a strong leader with integrity
Very Presidential, this is the Calibre of leaders we need. What he said about looking at other countries and what policies they implement to takle policies is refresing to hear. Many South Africans think we are unique in the type of society we have and the issue we have.
A man and a party of integrity ❤
Thina Sizwe...., thank you once again, Bab Hlabisa is a unifier, peacemaker, he sees good in almost everyone. Wise but humble. Very clear on the multiparty charter, yhoooo I got so much from this, I'll stop right there. Ayeye
What a great interview! Good interviewer and a very informed, humbly and dignified leader!
I know this man when he was a Mayor of Hlabisa Municipality. He speaks well and well articulated
OH LORD NEW GOVERNMENT PLEASE.
Wow what amazing wisdom. He's a future president
Future president😮?
How old is he kante? Which future?
Humble man viva ifp
I like Mr Hlabisa. He seems level headed. I wish for a government that will not hamper a free market society. We can not expect government to provide houses and care that we should be doing for ourselves. We will appreciate these things more of we have worked for them.
Definitely a good candidate for president
Respect
Mr Hlabisa's suit is so crisp! He's clean and sound sober. I like him. Great show as always! Please invite Rev Keneth Meshoe to the show. 🩵
Brilliant interview. This man reminds me alot of our late President Nelson Mandela.
I respect this leader!
He is a mature excellent man. he knows exactually what he is doing . Leave him alone he is intellegent 😅😅😅
Wow this is really leader which south Africa needs calm he knows what he say .
I enjoyed this interview thank you babu Hlabisa
Interesting interview very inspirational.....thank you
Sober leader🎉
100 % for me
My Leader
Leadership personified.
Inkosi Hlabisa is so clear and eloquent yet full of humility, which is a character that is quite rare in our political scene, really enjoyed this interview.
Wow, is He also the KING?
Big up MaVaya. We are with you my President IFP Governs
He's very thoughtful... I never new that. Let them win KZN and let's see what they'll offer.
I'm sure you are aware that the IFP has governed KZN before. One of their charismatic premiers was the late Dr Lionel Mtshali. Frank Mdlalose was also another one though he wasn't as " vibey" as Mtshali. The IFP is no different from the ANC. These politicians all specialize in theft and lying to South Africans.
I trust IFP.
Only parties worth voting for. FF+ , IFP and ACDP.
Couldn't agree more!
But, what impact will they do, their consolidated numbers don't count.
Look at who you're responding to. They are here to deceive the unsuspecting
Apartheid 2.0
@@thembimarokana6267 They are part of the Multi Party Charter so your vote will not go to waste. They are already established parties.
Mr Hlabisa let other so called political leaders look like pupils versus the headmaster. Bravo! Sir.
Don't be carried away by looks. It takes more than looks to be a president
Great Show! Please invite Zuko Godlimpi
Brilliant sober and clear leader
This is the type of leader SA needs
Maybe I missed it, but he should have been questioned about the IFP's former role as a proxy of the apartheid regime. They were used by Vlakplaas and similar entities of racist terror to cause Black-on-Black violence and incite ethno conflict. Sizwe, did you know that one of the torturers of Solomon Mahlangu and Monty Motloung, a certain "van Heerden", was also a close associate of Buthelezi and the IFP?
My 2 brothers were killed in the 80s so those who pin the IFP in killing the ANC must stop talking as if ANC are saints. Whereas IFP lost more people than ANC
"history is written by the winners" ... sadly the ANC were able to scrap their evil side from their history & paint themselves as saints
Eish Sizwe I know you are more into legal but can you please touch on economic policies with your guests as well.
IFP believes in free market economy
It's sounds like he would indeed make a good president, very interesting and informative interview.
Well say .
Had never actually given Mr Hlabisa the time of day previously, mostly because I find him quite repetitive. But today I am pleased that I did; I understand that he seeks to ensure broad understanding of everything he says, rather than being a high level politician. Enjoyed this, and thanks
Impressed
❤quite people are the smart. Because the take time to talk but the noisy is most is the want do not know anything.
We need such leaders in ours society.
Humbling
Good man
A politician without theatrics and self grandiosing and in SA? This is refreshing. Enkosi Xhego.
Maybe multiparty democracy will work.
We've always been a Multiparty democracy mos? Or we were a 1 party state according to you?
I am not an IFP member , but this man is doing it for me . Well articulated , smart , posess a good skill to answer questions .
It takes more than that to be a president though.
@awueseagwadza1248 Yeah I know that , well this was my comment on what I see .
I trust bra Sizwe to give us very well conducted, professional interviews. The questions do not seek to corner guests but rather to give viewers information
Uyangijabulisa lobaba ngokukhuluma ukuthula, that's what we need now, is people who brings hope by preaching peace, that will restore our country
I'm impressed with Mr Hlabisa's decorum and the way he expresses himself👌. This is very refreshing and totally in contrast with Gayton McKenzie's brash and almost arrogant style where he is all about "me, myself and I"🙄. If the Patriotic Alliance party gets enough votes to qualify GMcK for the presidential position, he would have to take elocution lessons BIG TIME before he could represent South Africa 🇿🇦 on international platforms without public embarrassment 😳
Viva IFP Viva!!
I used to like iNkatha but later on. Seeing them associated with white parties it where I started to change my mind with them.
As a KZN resident I can, with confidence say that this here is a good man that's for sure, very articulate and I admire him and his demeanor but in my view he has no tangible way to change the status quo as his party has decades and decades of ties to WMC and would still be continuing through this MPC. He will not be getting my / my family's vote
You have been well and truly indoctrinated by the WMC cabal.
You can't deny reality. Trust me, WMC does not refer to poor folkes like you@@KonradBartel
I thank you for your level headed analysis. Many commentators on this platform are way too young or are completely naive. The IFP will never be the change this country needs. Hlabisa was hand picked by the late Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi. He was his puppy. The man has nothing to offer this country especially the wretched of the earth who are Africans. I can't for the life of me believe people cant see through this old man.
What a great Leader. My wish is for the Multi Party Charter to govern and make him the President. Then we have a shot towards prosperity.
this man's head is screwed on very properly, indeed.
I feel like this man is detached to people 😂he speaks like those olden days president, Ngathi nombutho wakhe awumjwayele
😂Awu uthini manje Msimango
President Hlabisa is a good man. I'll vote for IFP Provincial, and go for MK national
😂😂😂
Bulawayo🐘🐘🐘
The IFP will be compromised by MK party. The chunk of ANC support will go with MK
Mk is a non starter maybe 11%
@@ufw.nhlanhla 11% is non-starter?? IFP got 3% last time out and they've been around since 1994🤣🤣
Mr Hlabisa I respect you but I dont think Mr Reddy &Bonkosi were saying there will be violence if they dont win I think they were refering to the courts and IEC not to political partis should they not win .Can you please ask him what does the IFP say about our land back to black people , it wont help to have good speeches and manifestos but not saying anything about ourland please ask him about that, these sellouts!
Can imagine the are having meeting while others are countries to stealing
Nothing hangs with your Love❤❤❤. Nothing hangs with your Love❤❤❤ and❤❤❤ Nothings hangs with your Love❤❤❤
A well spoken gentleman 👏 🙌 IFP have a leader I envy them if only Malema could conduct himself in such manner ANC was going to get less than 30%
Lol, IFP didn't even put this man on posters. They still rely on the image of Buthelezi. He's a gentleman. I agree. But a weak one, who's being pushed around by an uneducated John Steenhuizen.
Malema is solid. That's why EFF branches and members elected him. Depending on the 29 May results, I think he will still emerge as EFF President in December
Just because you are a good man, as Hlabisa is, doesn't make one a good leader! Leadership requires serious character and certain technical abilities and skills, which many of these party leaders lack exceptionally!

Vote DA save South Africa 👍
I wish you would've asked him about the pact that they had with AWB just before SA got its democracy....
💯
Just stay there because you live in the past and you choose to do so, and the rest of us we are looking at the future gladly so and hope for the best
bonizandwalane1538 scientific dictates that we observe the past to help us predict the future.
@@bonizandwalane1538 Once collaborators, always collaborators.
IFP never had any pact with AWB
Where has he proved it to the people of SA? He looks cool and calm but so what
27:15 . It has to remembered that judges use constitution.
Solid candidate, questionable party.
Very questionable
Mk can work very well with IFP because they both still want to have recognition of Queen and Kings including the land
IFP's masters won't allow that. The man is not in control shem
The man is Presidential Material. But joining Moonshot screams "Umlungu uthe" mentality. Sell out of note!! Thank goodness he exposed himself in advance
Calm down looter.Your divisiveness wont work here😂
we need to work together now for the success of our country.
John Steenhuizen has his little puppies on the leash while he negotiates with Ramaphosa's ANC. Such a shame for a man of his calibre to be controlled by an uneducated white boy. He sounds more committed to Moonshot than IFP and its voters. He and Mashaba will learn this thing called Politics the hardway
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
you want them to work with ANC?
Babu Hlabisa sikwethulela isigqoko baba ngiyaqala ukulalela interview yakho but ngobabaza ubuhlakani onabo ubaba shenge washiya ndoda enobuhlakani ezinyathelweni zakhe siyethemba zolithatha qembu le nkatha ulibeke ebalazweni sikufisela impumelelo okhethweni oluzayo sizokuxhasa ngama voti ethu phambili ngendlovu
Phambili!!!!
Baba Hlabisa l respect you r humbleness and you are not criticising other political parties.It shows that you understand that there is no one who is perfect in the whole world. The only thing I fail to understand is to make collision with a party that came in 1652 .these people came to steal kill and destroy it means we will never have our land back to us. They are the ones who must join any party I hate collision I hate appatheid allow one patty to have 2/3 thanks
You are day dreaming no Party shall ever win by 2/3 Majority from now going forward, get that straight into your head
IFP is in a lala land, they see black South Africans as in the Kingdom of the Zulus. They think we are good enough to work for other nations, they don't wish us anything great. That's why they would not work with Zuma but DA
Is it you saying this or it is on their manifesto or maybe they said it themselves on their campaigns or its just your hatred?
@ayandantombela this is politics there are no permanent enemies. IFP was once a dominant party in KZN after 1994, after failing to deliver services to people they where voted 🗳 out by ANC. Now ANC is going to be voted out by MKP and the IFP will be partnering with DA and others. Too me they really did not learn from the past which gave birth to NFP.
If Hlabisa can distane himself from whites and west which trained Inkatha in Caprivi which killed our people so mersilesly and abarically in defence of aparthed and the satus quo of the white agenda represented in South Africa by DA, he ca be right. I do like him as well but his politics are a huge problem at the moment.That DA is WOF in a seep skin.The govement of the day has failed becouse poeple like him supported whites from the onset since.IfpP must just do acording to Dr Buthelezi"s wish of getting the IFP back to the ANC and corect it that. is all that is needed.The unit of the ileft is the annswer to our count.Not the unit of he white Democratic Party and White National Party which now is changi to black poeple as theiir voting. catlles. King Shaka wanted the unit of Afican peole. Away with political paries that divide our people for the interest and benefit of white people. Regionalisim is not the answer too.
What parties form the Multi Party Charter?
DA, FF+, DA lite 1, DA lite 2, DA lite 3, IFP
@@MrLechesa😂😂😂
Parties this parties that, 2024 is 1994 for real
Very good with Zuma yuo will stay in the board room because he is coming to lot e
Inkatha le bafwethu ukuthi isikhuluma isngisi manje kodwa nje isa sula ishlama sabelungu futhi manje ku worse
U Mr Hlabisa unaa "that thing" mmmmm
I only see IFP getting 20 to 25 % only in KZN . IFP will always be seen as a party that brought pain to the south Africans. People don't forget.
The fact that IFP and VF+ are still alive is clear evidence that apartheid never failed!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who said he want your deal you must be out of your mind your man
Of course IFP killed many ANC people. The Thokhoza and Boipatong massacre 😂😂😂. The KwaMakhutha massacre cannot be forgotten. The Townships were under siege not forgetting the villagers that were declared IFP stronghold. 😂😂😂. The IFP would rather work with their bosses, the DA and FF+
Lapho I didn't find out about this until a few years ago when my friend was relaying his family's story on Facebook. I can't believe that they still exist as a party shem.
Though am not IFP but ANC government killed poorer worker in Marikana, anc killed children by failing to protect our borders... Unemployment and poverty deepen then 1994.... We are in trouble because of the anc....
Perhaps you should go deeper about your research,then you will know what was going on . Ask yours self why out of 20000 estimated people who die on those massacres 100000 were IFP supporters and 8000 were ANC members?
it was black and black violence not IFP killed ANC members as you said according the death numbers IFP lost a lots of number than ANC. IFP lost 12000 while ANC 8000. yikuphi senidukise abantu base SA for many years kungalungiswa lokhu nina nizama ngawowonke amandla ukuncolisa IFP kodwa niyehluleka inimise kabi bekani phansi umoya KZN izoyibusa IFP asilinde umhlaka 29 May sibone.
