Pressed a LIKE before watching, that's how I believe in Gogo Aubrey Mashiqi🙏🙏
Awuwedwa 😂
It's a deep take on this topic indeed 👏
Wow! Gogo is so knowledgeable and he explains things in such a humble way. Well done Sizwe. This was a brilliant episode. 🙏Thank you.👌
This is and will be always one of the greatest analytical interviews of our times. Thanks a million, scholar of wisdom, Gogo siyabonga 👏🏾👏🏾
I just finished this interview now, I was about to say the same thing
@@zuksakleinbooi5951 You guys are lying ngeke
Very informative discussion and also an eye opener to what is going on out there. Thank Gogo Matshiqi . Halala SMWX!
Totally in agreement.
This is why I always say one can't trust trust politics for truth. It's more like a debate. The one who has the ability to give seemingly good points regardless of being truthful or not, wins the debate.
Thokozani Gogo no Mkhulu. I am thankful for this opportunity to listen to Gogo Aubrey ❤
Brutal analysis always mind boggling he is one of the sharpest political analysts that Sa has ever produced
I think he's the only one.
The most powerful analytical interview I have ever watched. Watching from Windhoek, Namibia.
As a practising cultural doctor myself of 43 years I like what uBaba says that "the wealth or wisdom of life comes transfer of knowledge. What I just shared pertains to the Setswana idioms: Botlhale jwa phala botswa phalaneng - an Adult can also learn form a Child, and Ngwana wa di kgomo ithute g molodi o gopole motlhang amalata a bolola, that is children of wealth learn methods of creating wealth bearing in mind the time time they are no more.. More about what I have just shared is a captured in my book Mogolo Ngwana which will be published in the near three weeks
Gogo Matshiqi always provides sober analysis with a dash of spiritual insight. Siyathokoza 🙌🏿
Wow what a great wisdom and knowledge we all should know.. congratulations Mr Mpopfu
Gogo Aubrey made me fall in love with politics and history.
Every time you bring Gogo Aubrey Maqixi in the platform it's like you bring us breath of fresh air I ❤ Gogo Aubrey
Matshiqi. 🤣
The most insightful analysis. Thank you, Sizwe and your guest - Gogo
Please! please! please! More of this wise man .I am so in awe with this beautiful conversation. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's why I so respect Gogo, he is the sharpest tool in the shed and very insightful indeed.

This episode assisted me in deciding who to vote for on 29 May 2024.
Gogo Aubrey Matshiqi is good. This is insightful. How would COSATU & SACP react to a DA-ANC coalition?
This is the highest level of analysis and critiquing I have listened to for a long time. I wish I have an opportunity to be around such wisdom of elders like Gogo Audry Matshiqi.

Aubrey wena.
Sill listening Dr Mpofu Walsh. I love the Way you put adverts they come once in a while and they are short i watch all of them. I Respect You Dr Mpofu Walsh im not educated i only have Standard 10 But i love your Podcast its my university im 50 now
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
❤
Wow! What a very refreshing and informed political insight by Gogo Mashiqi. He is one of the very few sober, uncaptured and brilliant analysts of our time.
This is deep analyses. Speaking of vast intricacies I never thought of. This episode is one for the archives. 👌🏼
Extremely insightful discussion......thank you for allowing us to tap into the wisdom of Gogo Matshiqi.
Thokoza gogo thank you for your honesty interesting interview, we appreciate it 👏
Gogo thanks for clariification.
Oh yes Gogo is truly analytic. A gem indeed.
Is nice to see Gogo in good health. Is been a while without seeing him on the podcast ❤
Thank you gogo ❤
Thokoza gogo, what a brilliant interview truth but only truth. I wish everyone especially the politicians involved could listen and reflect on this conversation ❤️
Thank uou Gogo for the insight.❤
What a good dissection of the politics of the ANC. Gogo Matshiqi is demonstrating to me a very deep and shrewd understanding of the characters within the ANC.
Very good and deep going analysis once more Gogo
Viva MK sobabonisa amabele enyoka
Powerful and brilliant discussion
I do not really agree with Gogo on many things, but I have come to appreciate his intellect. He is a giant, historically locate his reasoning on serious factual premises. He knows our politics and many times he has been proven right.
same here, I have a lot that I disagree with him.
kzhead.info/sun/iN2Dl9ichWSCjWw/bejne.htmlsi=1RbP5WCEJSHyi1eM
Me too I do not agree. I just felt like he is not in favor of Msholozi. But he is hiding it. I feel like he's indirectly trying to discredit Msholozi. But doing it in a intelligent way.
@@Dotata2009I don’t think he is against Msholozi. If you have listened to him in the past, he has been more critical of Ramaphosa than Zuma. I think many of us find ourselves looking at the ANC through the lens of the leader we resonate with or whom we think aligns with our political ideologies. The crux of his analysis wich makes him different from many political analysts is that he often focuses on the behind the scenes developments of our political environment. Many tend to follow the headlines and base their analysis purely on what is reported in the mainstream media.
@@DesignThinkingWithLungile I hear you my fellow SAcan.
Fascinating and utterly absorbing, thank you for this Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh and Aubrey Matshiqi. At this often confusing, disheartening and daunting stage in our country's journey it is soothing and reassuring to know that we have such great minds (both young and old) in our midst to help us navigate our way through what we are to become. I look forward to your next conversation.
Dr Mpofu, thank you very much for this platform. Thank you very much for the hardwork. Thank you very much for the consistency. Thank you for the all around quality of conversations that you bring to us. Thank you
Glad you enjoy it!
Siyabulela Dr Mpofu👏🏾
Brilliant and insightful as always. Thank-you Sizwe.
I believe his views are personal to zuma. He is very deliberate in that ...
He is a paid puppet kzhead.info/sun/iN2Dl9ichWSCjWw/bejne.htmlsi=1RbP5WCEJSHyi1eM
@mthokozisimmabuzankunankun8507 my thoughts exactly. ANC is running the country to the ground and Ramaphosa has been undecided throughout his term but he wants to defend that while criticizing Zuma at every turn
@mawabomana1257 I doubt if for real you have followed and listened to Gogo, please do yourself a favour
Yet Zuma needs to be blamed. His tenure is synonymous to corruption.
And he is quite correct
He is a very knowledgeable political analyst I have ever met.
Powerful interview 👏
Thank you for giving us UGogo Futhi. I cant wait to listen and learn. Podcast looks and sound great.
This has been a fascinating interview, Sizwe!
That wad a question I always wanted an answer too
Wow Gogo is such a brilliant analyst and is full of wisdom.
I never knew this channel and I'm just happy to have found it. What an analyst in Gogo. One get a very clear picture of what is happening around politics
You have to love this GoGo of ours ,here you like even before you watch ❤❤
Ugogo is a very wise man, learned a lot from him❤❤❤
Absolutely educative.
Team, please adjust Mr Matshiqi's microphone. The volume is low on his part. Gogo Aubrey reminds me of elders who whisper inconvenient truths to the young ones.
Once again thank you for the brilliant conversation, Dr Mpofu. Gogo Aubrey Matshiqi is one of the best analysts of SA's political landscape💥💥💥
You couldn't have said it better!!!
,
kzhead.info/sun/iN2Dl9ichWSCjWw/bejne.htmlsi=1RbP5WCEJSHyi1eM
We are being lied to
How did you arrived in your conclusion that we are being lied too by who exactly ?
Thanks Sizwe for bringing ugogo
Love this gogo.Wow he is on fire
What a stunning insight from uGogo! Your explanation is so deep but easily understandable. Surely you possess what very fewer do. May your knowledge be extended to as many as possible though scary in a way. Great revelations!
I have been wondering when we would have Gogo Matshiqi in your show again Sizwe. The audio wasn't too great but the conversation as always captivates the mind. Please consider having Gogo as a resident guest.
uGogo keeps highlighting vital points that have been left to the wayside by most of us. It may very well be that Capital may prefer a stable ANC over any other party. Including the DA because the DA does not have a realistic chance of winning.
Great episode
What are Gogo Aubrey's academic qualifications beside his spirituality? Always when I listen from him I marvel because he revives me n in depth cause me to love SA politics. We thank God for providing with such intellectuals
Great Interview. Siyabonga Gogo Matshiqi. Love and blessings Dr Mpofu Walsh 🙏🏿
Thank you brother! 🙌🏾
As long as we remember that this is Gogo's view and each one of us have our OWN.
True
kzhead.info/sun/iN2Dl9ichWSCjWw/bejne.htmlsi=1RbP5WCEJSHyi1eM
I agree. His views are not supposed to be taken as concrete. It's just his views.
@@Dotata2009especially when they are against Zuma, MK and EFF/Malema.
I agree with him 100%. Zuma believe he is bigger than the ANC. A very dangerous unintelligent man.
At 1st i was critical but Gogo you won me to your analysis, you are truly a great thinker.
Sizwe,can you please invite Andile Mngxithama if possible.
You want him to come and campaign for Zuma???
We need to hear his views whether we agree with it or not.
@@khathurandela737 if you want to learn and be a critical thinker you must not analyse only those that you agree with, but you learn a lot and your analytical skills are horned immensely by listening critically to those that you disagree with (ideologically or political, etc). Sizwe is a scholar, so we need to engage in this platform at that level so that we can learn from each other to become politically matured. Mgxithama is also a scholar, an academic, an intellectual, an activist and a political analyst. So it depends on the level you engage with him. If you engage with politically and or as activist , yes as expected he will be rhetorical; again, if you engage with him intellectually and or academically he will respond in that mode. This platform is for everyone -expert(s).
A very good request,Mfethu.Thanks!!
@@khathurandela737Everyone of us is not neutral. Your comment also is probably driven by impartiality.
Great analysis as expected Gogo! Camagu!🙌🏽❤️
Insightful indeed.
Thokoza gogo Thokoza I've learned a lot from you ❤❤
I must admit I agree with a couple of submissions made by Aubrey Matshiki. He is often hopelessly biased and has a penchant for defending Zuma . He absolutely nailed it with pointing out the failings of the NEC in both the Mbeki and Zuma presidencies. He was spot on with the unwritten roles of the NEC and the clinical dissections of the cult of personality around ANC presidents.
Well, knowing the SA politics I'm very disappointed by Mashiqes analysis. His emotions are all over his analyst's.
What do you know about politics 🤔
True.. did you notice him going back to answer a question not even asked about Zuma, while he was asked a question about something else
Yeah man and at that moment I started doubting him
He is terrible
Substantiate your Assumption s
Thank you Sizwe🙏🏾
hahahaa I CAN'T WAIT, IM TOO EXCITED LIKE A BABY❤❤❤😂, wisdom will be oozing out of Gogo Aubrey as usual
kzhead.info/sun/iN2Dl9ichWSCjWw/bejne.htmlsi=1RbP5WCEJSHyi1eM
The analysis 👌🏾 his scenarios are like a prophesy
Mfowethu 🤝🔥...
I liked the part when he subtlety laughed when he insinuates that JZ uses the MK to be seen as if he is radical. BabuMatshiqi you were so biased. This interview should have been an explicit opinion of uBabuMatshiqi on JZ and MK. He was not supposed to ask people to go and vote because with this biasness he is decampaigning MK.
The thing is. Zuma is indeed radical. Just that there are powers that be that hindered him from executing during his presidency. He has always spoken about radical economic transformation, nuclear, land expropriation. That is all radical so I didn’t quite understand the insinuation that he is acting as if he is. If he was a good puppet to WMC then they wouldn’t have held a smear campaign and corporate media propaganda against him. As for the current prez. I think it’s obvious that he’s not even trying to be radical. Look at him campaigning in spaza shops owned by immigrants
100% and that Zulu narrative to me was kinda off. It’s not our fault that Zulus are the way we are. We just don’t want wool pulled over our eyes. Not to say that everyone else does but we just operate from a bit of that arrogance which we need because it’s not all sunshine and rainbows especially with a certain type of people that always seeks to exploit
Exactly Siyamthanda. I think most people think that for one to be radical you must demonstrate that you are a scholar of Western Education, in particular, precisely because we are taught Western education or what I call Western socio-cultural cognition pedagogy. Given that JZ did not attend formal (Western) education he does not fit to be taken seriously by people like uBabuMatshiqi hence he laughs subtly on JZ in this regard. Are we not supposed to label all those who resist Western ideologies as radicals? This is what JZ is demonstrating. Our South African Kings like King Moshoeshoe, King Cetshwayo and others fought against Whites, resisting their their influence or 'land thieving'. To me they fit the definition of a radical, because they were not protesting but resisting white domination. Regardless that they did not receive Western socio-cultural cognition pedagogy. Zuma talks of Radical Economic Transformation. So, why is not seen to be radical? The answer to our so-called educated Blacks, is that he did not 'go to school'.
@@SiyamthandaMsomi-oc2toTo talk about being radical doesn't make you radical, that's what Zuma does, talk. He had a power to implement some of the things he always talks about, but he didn't, that's why he say he tries to appear radical. In short words, he is a Populist.
@sicelomakwayiba2457 What do you mean he was all talk? He did implement radical moves but the system went against him, his nuclear program for electricity was one such program. The media made sure they run his reputation to the ground to undermine his efforts
Please invite Dr Matthew Phosa Please we want to hear His version
Version of.....? 😂
Wow that fucken lie
Thanks so much with this information Sir , keep it up with a good and powerful work.❤
Listening to the two great minds, its so refreshing uGogo & Sizwe. Thank you guys for this interesting engagement.
Thanks for listening
This episode was too good, very insightful and can't wait to hear more from Gogo Aubrey Matshiqi on future episodes. Ayeye
Gogo is a living ancestor. He is so wise.
Very inspiring engagements, insights, wisdom , very deep wealthiest conversations on your 🎉show.
Thanks Thokoza Gogo. Siyabonga top draw interview ..fascinating
I see credo mutwa kugogo ❤
Yes
Me, too or I can't see nor hear clearly the sequencing
@@user-sm3ex4pf7zwith him there's wisdom and that political alignment,his political hate leaves me confused, rebellious, while his wisdom is like the ocean.
One finds himself consuming a lot of political material, to help comprehend the dynamics within our society. But each time you have Gogo we witness engagements that augment one's index of intelligence.
I love how bra Sizwe allows guests to flow. ✊ love these shows
For the first time I disagree with Gogo, I am actually surprised that he himself also is branding MK as the ethnic mobilization.
That one also disappointed me
It is true though. MK is a Zulu project and so far its numbers are in KZN. They had only 9 people in the North West and no more than 30 in Limpopo leading Zuma to cancel. Zuma has always relied on his zuluness to fight political battles.
For me, the use of MK was partly to get every ethnic group since MK is or was not a Zulu thing. Most staunch supporters of ANC including uBabuMatshiqi are using this tribal fear to keep people away from joining MK in
You have said the mouthful.
The so-called 'Umkhonto Wesizwe SamaZulu' is a term that is coined by uBabuMatshiqi. It is wrong for him to coin this term and then blame the Zulus or JZ. How can you blame such people who are not even aware, at this particular time, that this term exist since it is only uBabuMatshiqi and us in this blog who have just learnt about such term?
It is always a pleasure and a blessing to have Gogo Aubrey Matshiqi in our midst to give us the real uMrabulo. Dankie Sizwe sakwa Mpofu-Walsh
My respect for Gogo is waning.he is talking as someone who has a corner,like someone who has been influenced to take a certain position
Because he sees Jacob Zuma for what he is? A clown?
Just because 😂he's not saying what you want jim to say.
Tuned in notified Thank you 🎉❤
Yes! 💪
A kenyan here keen on South African politics, been learning much from you channel. Thanks
I cannot argue with YOUR analysis of events gogo but remember that is where it ends(just your perspective) and we ALL have our own🤷🏾♂️. I think as SAs we have to understand that one's perspective...is just that... and we can form our own views as well.
There is one thing you cannot deny. His experience and what Gogo has spoke about in the past that came to pass.
Don't you think it would be more meaningful and proper if your comment reads thus:each of us as South Africans;instead of All of us as S.Africans or perhaps - some S Africans?
That's why you were not called to the interview, your view is not important. You can just vote whoever you want. According to my unpopular view, I will be campaigning and voting for MK in order to save the dignity and sovereignty of our country. Bright side is that you and your children will also benefit.
Very interesting this Topic , gogo I which I can stay with you so that I can learn more.Thanks
Very sober analysis from Aubrey, not taking any sides or showing biasness.
You nailed it Gogo. It's like you are 18 years old. These are the people we can listen to as you make sense and it shows that you are a thiking person🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉BUWA GOGO!!!
Gogo at it again..deep stuff
I agree with you it is also a prophecy
Wow i bow to you Gogo 🙇♀️ you are a well of wisdom and i did not want this episode to end. A balanced, neutral, unbiased elder you are. Tribalism and selfish people are reversing the progress that has been made by those before us. I love how you spared no one and called it like it is.
I could listen to Gogo speak his mind from dusk till dawn.
Love and respect Gogo Matshiqi...but this time there are a few things i do not agree with that he says.... but its okay. I respect his opinion.
Great; as usual. On the issue of protection: of either Cyril or the ANC party; who protects the sovereignty of the Country and the Welfare of the Citizens. 😢
Thanks...
Gogo Aubrey Matshiqi's analysis of the current political conjecture is factual, brilliant, intriguing and thought provoking. It is unfortunate, however, that most people blindly follow a persona and choose to be oblivious of the intricate matters that define the very person they so blindly follow. How I wish we could have more and more of such analysis . I wish we could have an understanding that would make us objective followers as against being blind followers of individuals.
It’s not all factual. Most of it are his opinions
In saying people follow blindly you are insinuating that all those people who follow the candidate you are talking about didn’t give any thought to their conclusion and that’s far from the truth. Gogos Analysis may have accuracy but some of it is his opinion and not facts
Thanks!
Thank you! 😁
Great insights...
This is so interesting but to short. Please continue in a weeks time.
I don't know about south Africa, but in Durban city I saw Renaissance, 9 wasted years and new dawn. To me those terms are accurate and represent those regimes perfectly as I look at Durban changing. Please bring Obed mlaba on.
I'm very happy to listen to conversation learnt a lot
YES,GOGO ABREY,U SPEAK THE TRUTH & SHAME THE DEVIL.
I'm 100% behind Zuma some inside the ANC who felt the ANC is theirs have been trying many time to block Zuma from ANC but failed and they have resorted to insult him, calling him criminal with no proof of corruption. To say Zuma is corrupt has been thair narrative. It a shame
Shapha MK shapha msholozi❤
Salam Akhi, please bring back uGogo 🙌🏽🔥✊🏽
Wow such wisdom Gogo❤❤❤thank you Sizwe
