#PodcastwithMacG #SA'sNumber1Podcast
Let's be honest guys, minister of electricity he smart and he can articulate well. He deserve a round of applause.
All politicians are like that
Articulate lies
thank you
but he cant perform his duties which is what matters the most ....Politicians get away with everything becoz they use big Engiish to lie to you!! and people like you will appluade him
But we don't care about him.articulating well. We want electricity..We are tired of load shedding. Articulating well will never help us.
Sputla is the first ANC to come here and spoke something that makes sense, Shout out to You Kgosi
No lies detected
Indeed and also share knowledge that people didn't know about his department or his ministry and more.
Halala sputla you are a real patriot for your country
Did you watch episode 536 with Jomo Sibiya? I can openly argue that he made sense in the same level or better than Seputla.
@@user-nh6vw5xc6t🎉xtlllllllllllll
If you wanna see if Mag G brought smart people on the show, observe Sol, the man will be quite because class is in progress😂😂😂
Yeah he’s a great listener
He is not a know it all. He listens when it's time to listen .
Gotta love Sol man
His a scholar and a phenomenal analysis 👏🏾 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Indeed ey I've noticed 😹😹😹
The fact that when he was asked that “Can any polical party fix loadshedding” and he said he believes there are competent engineers. That’s where he earned my respect👏🏾
That's true, this man is smart and not petty 👌
Same here
So it doesn’t matter that we are in darkness because of sabotage? He just has to say what you want yo hear?
@@ntsikayomzimagxaka6048 loadshedding started way before he was appointed so it’s not entirely his fault
I know he's a politician but if but if you look past that, he's answering all the questions correctly
Just that people are just assuming because his a politican then he's lying.
And he walks you through his Answer so you really understand what he is saying
That's very true man...and funny enough he sounds honest...don't know what that means in terms of a politician
You guys must be anc
No his not answering the questions his just using big words that's all
He spoke like a MAN AT WORK, not like a member of a party. He loves his country and the people.
He’s a clown regurgitating ANC nonsensical excuses to you…just structured in good sentences. How are you people still falling for this?
you are easy to fool, I have an airport I need to sell you, 😂😂🤦♂
Phelindaba we are represented ❤🎉🎉🎉
I notice how almost everyone agrees that Minister is well learned, this is because he went to school and is a civil engineer. He's a good example to the notion that we need to appoint ministers who hold degrees or diploma's in something that compliments their ministerial positions.
Again how does a degree in civil engineering complement his ministerial position as minister of Electricity?
@@ogodisengmphoko8433 its difficult to explain to you if you have never been to school. try it you will thank me later
@@ogodisengmphoko8433yeah good question, but really is not about the actual technical ability to give solutions into the generation problem but having a holistic knowledge from an engineering perspective in how the overall system works so that he can assist with the right approach from a political, business and policy level. That’s why he is super fluent in this. The problem in Eskom are basically mechanical/electrical/political/ethics/procurement/bureaucracy
@@ogodisengmphoko8433as an architect myself I feel like the principals are the same in the built environment, safety, functionality, good design, innovation ecs . He doesn’t necessarily need to know how to fix an operate these machines but knowing these engineering principles with also very good leadership skills he can navigate to the right path
It is not an engineers job to fix or operate machines, that is not the question here. And yes the principles are almost the same, I don't disagree. But the thing here is, you cannot know everything, hence we have specialists. I am junior mechanical engineer in a mining sector, If tomorrow I move to energy(eskom), eskom will have to train me bcz they appreciate the fact I don't know about electricity generation. The minister has no background in electricity generation, distribution, we have a crisis and we don't need someone to learn on the job. We need someone that specializes so they solve the problem now. Maintaining a power station is different from maintaining buildings, roads.
"I believe there are capable engineers in the Country, deploy any one of them" What an answer
Powerful Answer 🎉
Minister was giving us public administration lecture. There's a lot we don't know about administrative state.
you are right bro
You can say that again and other parties use our lack of knowledge to get votes😢
And I am listening attentively 💯
People don't really like the truth
That’s all he did instead of answering the questions
I haven't watched the interview, but i want to say shout out to Mr Ramokgopa it takes a lot of courage to come on this podcast... he's earned my respect
I studied in Pretoria when he was mayor and always knew where to find free wifi 🔥🔥
DA has shown us it's true colours. They cut it off immediately after they came in to power. Worse without any notice. If they'll one day rule this country don't be surprised if they cutoff grants rdps even nsfas
This man is smart. Gifted orator. A clear leader. I never knew this until today
He’s a clown! He regurgitates the same nonsense you’ve been fed by the ANC for the last decade and be as he speaks well you’re convinced he’s competent…what’s wrong with you people?
@@neotemana Show us your CV Neo. And oh, I do not trust the ANC by any measure, but I can spot a gifted human being when I come across one. You are more than welcome to show us how you are less of a clown compared to him
@@THEVIRTUALBACKOFFICELULU I left that toilet of a country, I immigrated to Canada because I got sick of the unearthly incompetence in governance of that country, but more so of the sheep like mentality of the masses like you buddy, that are easily manipulated and impressed by the most basic things like good vocabulary. Buddy you are a part of what’s wrong with that country and why it will NEVER turn things around and why I lost all faith in it and will NEVER return
Sputla wifi helped me apply for jobs.
Of course so rightfully that qualifies him to head the power utilities supplier? What’s wrong you guys man…this guy is a clown…your tax Rand pains for that wifi dude!
My testimony is on the free wifi, that the DA canceled.
@@sekikiwilliammamaila3046 But the point of the matter is it still doesn’t qualify him to oversee the power utilities provider my brother…furthermore, these people have gotten us to a point where we have to be grateful for them doing their job and us feeling undeserving for what we’re paying them to do
@@neotemana the DA is useless
it is also helped me apply for varsities
I lived in Tshwane under sputla,so,i can attest to the fact tht his leadership skills are second to none,he's brilliant..
This man is exudes humility, honesty, and a great sense of humor!!! The Chillers can differentiate between 'Truth' and 'Lies', and there was nothing dishonest about this guy. Finally a Minister that did not undermine our intelligence.
Bro I can't sit past 5 minutes whenever politicians try to play with our intelligence,big ups to him for being real
I almost didn't watch @@Augustinmasedi348
Same WhatsApp group with Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, they don't duck and dive when questioned
This guy is a clown that regurgitates the same nonsensical garbage excuses the ANC has been giving you guys for a better part of a decade. He just phrases it well and rambles on to throw people off…furthermore, there was no accountability taken here for corruption that took place in the Pretoria for his previous role…it was always somebody else that he was never aware of or the media blowing things out of proportion. I don’t understand how you people keeps falling for this nonsense. Being “humble” and articulate doesn’t qualify you to run and oversee a government department that’s responsible for 70 million South Africans power utilities supplier. Dude we’re all articulate but that doesn’t qualify us!
I really didnt think i would enjoy this interview but wow... first minister i could actually listen to without getting bored and he speaks like the educated person he is
I've been avoiding watching because I wasn't in the mood to be pissed off! But I truly enjoyed listening to him.
True that, there are few minister like him.
I'm also watching it for the 7th time now,I never watched any podcast interview like this one. It's so entertaining and educational at the same time
I'm watching this 3 days after it was uploaded. I didn't feel like watching another politician lying to us but seeing a different side now, he's amazing
These guy doesn’t answer questions like a politician, he really does answer questions like a normal person
As much as he is part of the corrupt governance, Ntate Ramokgopa is well articulated, he knows his story
he's just good at lying...Carte blanche has an entire episode of the so called R30M spent on the so called infrastructure, not just how it is now but dating back. these guys are rich and taught well to know NLP, for you he's just articulating and answering questions but no facts are checked at the spot. there's a reason SAns are at the stage we on. even you were quickly to approve lies
And that will give you electricity? Dude turn your brain on…this guy is a clown that keep regurgitating the same nonsense the ANC has been feeding you guys for years
Yoh 😩🫣
All politicians are like that
@kwazulu0358 nah....compare this guy Mbalula, Malema and/or Mashaba, you'll see the difference
Sputla was beautiful to listen to... He is smart indeed...
He has that thing...
Dr Sputla should become the National spokesperson, the honesty and straight to the point answers will make you to be interested in Politics 👌💯✊
But people don't really like the truth
I really think the way these guys on the Podcast are able to interact with the "powerful" is underrated and quite commendable as they don't give us a slight sense that they are intimidated or afraid to offend them. I think they've mastered the art of disagreeing with their guests respectfully and as for Sputla you can see the man appreciates the platform and opportunity to take the country into confidence without so much interrogation that he's normally subjected to in the mainstream media.
MacG has really improved. Grew into this political space also. He can hold down a talk show
you are right he was given an opportunity to explain his task and responsibilities and what we can expect moving forward
Leadership well articulated ✊🏿
MacG is the Goat. He conducted the interview very well 🎉 and simple for us to understand 🎉
Never underestimate the power of education clearly you can tell how well versed this guy is
One of the best interviews I've watched in a while. The minister is so articulate and honest.
The ANC should treasure this Dude, he knows how to make you understand the complexities of politics. He’s good
The lights off prank was very much expected 😂😂😂😂😂
What minute please?
00:56:17
And it landed 😂😂😂
@@Airyqtip 🤣🤣🤣🤣.... I'm Kenyan but was in SA n load shedding was crazy... His reaction 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@MegaJiber it's a wow factor hey 🤣🤣
All these years we’ve been sitting with politicians who “say”t hey are qualified, educated and are willing to serve the country but fail because the purpose and lake of understanding. Im grateful that I witnessed this interview because i saw a very genuine guy who carried himself well, not to buy face but to account for and answered with great understanding and knowledge. This man is relatable and you can tell thats who he truly is!! Shoutout to him 🙌🏽🙏🏽🔥👌🏽
Sputla speaks like a true engineer, solution orientated, clear & logical... engineers need to be running this country🔥
In all honesty this was the best podcast of any politician yet
Agreed
I agree. The country needs more hardworking, honest ministers like him. Wish him all the best.
Mr Ramokgopa once helped me prior to representing SA as performing in usa still thankful for what he did for me in 2016,well theres no infrastructure from the tribe one festival,we were at a loss as a community of Cullinan (dinokeng)
Whatvdo you mean there's no infrastructure? It was never built?
🎉🎉The general himself
Truth be told. Tshwane was the best City under Ramokgopa. Every school had free wifi, introduced ReyaVaya Busses, Many new buildings were build. DA took over from now, now go to Tshwane and see how it looks. The city is poorly maintained. During his time Pretoria was the cleanest. He was the best.
A well articulated man, 🫡 Young and Educated. I’m of the view that if we had more Ministers like him then SA would be a better place.
What has he done since opening a new ministry of electricity?
Listen to the interview then you’ll find out sir.
That young is relative, are we calling 49 yr old young now.
I am turning 50 this year, if life expectancy is 65-70 years then I'm in old age stages. I'd love to see 30somethings get to be ministers and active in the running of government and industry as they have the energy to do the running around. The older generations can then be in advisory positions, and the 60s upwards must now be at home and farms enjoying their golden years not hogging the limelight as we currently witness... My 2 cents worth
@@ek6420you couldn’t have said it better 💯🫡 I agree with your statement. It would really be great to see that happening.
Ngwana ga Ramokgopa... having goosebumps just by watching this... He is Smart👌🏾... future President✊🏾#012
He’s a clown regurgitating the same nonsensical excuses the ANC has been feeding you, he’s just phrasing it nicely and you people fall for it..
Le kgatlwa ke masepa, that's why they always manipulate you.
Load shedding .
When he said "this thing is traumatizing" I felt it shame 🤣😂😂😂.. He ment it🤞🤞🤞
Apart from Julius Malema this only Politician that is honest in answering his questions. Big up to MacG for inviting the minister
Mag G plz bring the minister of housing there's alot of us who would like to know how their system works when it come to houses and land
The fancy term they have for it is 'human settlements'
Dr Ramokgopa is a seasoned politician
Bro 😪 this guy is too smooth 😂 and I dont like it
Imagine if it was Mbalula sitting there, we would have been promised heaven and earth 😂
@rofhiwamudau253 the day I see Mbalula onnthe chair I will stop being a member for a few months.
@@thamsanqamolefe3287 i get you yaz 😂
😂😂😂😂😂@@rofhiwamudau253
This episode is giving Zakes Bantwini vibes, the reasons most of us fell for the podcast; super informative and vastly honest... Good job guys
I lived in Pretoria then and I remember that's how i got introduced to KZhead, it was through the free WiFi project. This was one of the successful projects by City of Tshwane
He's also teaching us about the administration department,the real politics of South, infrastructural issues I think most will agree with me we've learned a lot about government from local to national from Mr Ramokgopa
What I like about this team everyone knows how to play his role no one is forcing his role
"Let me explain how you run a city"😮💨🔥🔥`
"Well eeehh"
Their strategy for this interview looks like was to dizz the minister but he is too smart for them. Very informative minister
Nope not smart at all he is good articulating himself and speaking garbage and by that logic I could sell the country my shit straight from the toilet just by articulating my words in a manipulative way anyway stage 16 coming soon
Beautiful episode. MacG interrupted a very important part of the history of Load shedding. Many people do not know. This problem was predicted and timelines were given. However, the minister was getting to all of that and MacG cut him short. It’s his platform but many people would have learned a lot about curtailment and how that works. Which areas have capacity and which do not and the why. As much as it’s for fun and views, there should be something important that we learn from these guys. Beautiful episode again. This man is working and if you detached him from ANC, he would be a good president. He knows how to deliver. Very smart.
True
True, MacG annoyed me there
I'm from Zimbabwe but this minister is very smart 👌 and intelligent God must bless him 🎉
Nha MacG is a Goat maan. His authenticity is what attracted me to his talent. If you still not sure even after watching this then i don't know Man. Look at how he handled this interview... He has a way of making his guests feel comfortable with a dash of humour in between. He is Entertainment. You really cannot buy experience. You can see he has been in the game foe a while now.
I become very proud of him when I see him in this element. He is smart, but he never wants to take the spot light and people think he is stupid. This guy is a genius.
Please go watch Katt Williams interview with Joe Rogan. I think you will stop calling MacG "a goat"...
@@blaqbee03 but my Gee why must we validate MacG by comparing him with someome from somewhere in the states whom i don't even relate with. I m just genuinely giving our own his flowers which he deserves. I cannot use Joe Biden as a benchmark.. MacG is MacG.
@@talundizkatyhopho4813 you didn't read to understand me. The word "Goat" is satanic.. That's all I was saying. Katt Williams explained it during his interview with Joe Biden...
@talundizkatyhopho4813 why bother responding someone who doesn't even know the difference between Joe Rogan and Joe buden
This is the first time in my life to listen to a politician until the end, usually I change the channel in the middle of their speech. Sputla was very informative and he answered all the questions without beating around the bushes. I am now at ease and I believe he will bring change to this electricity issue🙏🏽
Same here.
I will be disappointed if this doesn't become the most viewed interview on this network.
I have been following Dr. Ramokgopa's work since he was Mayor of Tshwane, The man is a genius!
What an insightful interview. This just made me realize that there are different breeds of politians, unfortunately no a lot a built like him
Facts
Sputla is intelligent, could listen to him the whole day. Very well articulate 👌🏿
What a beautiful interview. 🙌🏾🙌🏾 I wish our cabinet had ministers like this. This was a powerful appointment and this man has taken the role quite well - he is a man at work!
The most humble man, you'd show respect without even blinking a thought of it
Politics PR aside, Sputla ke grootman e sharp². Well articulated and very calm. 🤟🏿 Clean episode 👌🏿
No this guy is something else. He's very clear nge story sakhe. No dodging of questions, what the hell ? He's the complete opposite of what I expected
Dr ramokgopa is a very smart man...what a leader ,selfless,confident and super knowledgeable and well spoken. His interview was smooth and adequate. To me he is a star and macg gave him both the stage and spotlight and Shame he didn't disappoint!
I vote For MacG On This Coming Elections. I Don't Care How, I'll Just Write His Name There
Hao 😂😂😂😂
You guys are on another level....MacG n Sol 🎉
I was lucky to buy at an estate close to Smart City/Lanseria we are 100% off grid no water rationing no loadshedding
I work for an Eskom contractor. He confidently said there's no loadshedding because the minister told Eskom to postpone and cancel all repairs until after Elections
Lol yeah obvious
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Plzzz vote guys.
Wow!
You're lying bro😂😂
Ovi
I really like people who explains thoroughly so that you can understand
What a smart and articulate man. Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Have a new found respect for the minister of electricity.
He is really an asset for the ANC. His articulation gave the public hope and a vision.🙌🙏He is Presidential.
But he collapsed Tshwane
This interview was a breath of fresh air
This guy deserves to be ANC Secretary General,very well articulated
Hai his skills would be a waste as a secretary general coz now he would have to lie, duck and dive when defending incompetent ministers.
ANC next President once
Great interview. Minister you have what it takes to turn around eskom dont give up👍👍 ANC still has genuine captains like you Sir
I like this minister 👌🏿... he is quality and comes across as an honest man.
Please call Koko Matshele and Brian Molefe and ask them how they successfully ended load shedding
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. The Minister is great at explaining the running of an office in a way that almost anyone can understand. Well done P&C Team 🎉
This guy is amazing... well spoken, honest, intelligent, humble, relates to all class levels. As much as Eskom is still struggling, I feel a certain level of comfort just knowing that he is the man taking care of it. All the best Dr. Sputla. Nice one MacG
Dr K Ramokgopa, a seasoned Politician and well articulated. 👌
MacG’s laugh when they did the load shedding prank 56:41 😂😭 I would literally cry if someone laughs at me like that 😩
😂😂
30 min im impressed, the guy is able to answer fluently
Same
All preconceived notions aside, very honest clear conversation and a different look at what the mechanics of government is and nje managing politics and the job
The Minister of Electricity sounded so Sincere and Honest. And also was not evasive to the questions, answered them to the best of his ability and managed to paint a clear picture of what is going on behind the scenes. Yes, some of us will doubt him and label him like other politicians but this interview was very informative and it brought a sense of hope, which we had lost. S/O to Sputla we need Politician like this to Lead the country 👏👏
First minister to come to the podcast🙏🔥🔥
Sometimes I wish We could all represent ourselves because that man sounds like someone who knows what he is doing
I have learnt so much from this conversation. Thank you for this fun lecture
I really need MacG to start being more patient and allow people to answer....especially the politicians 😢....and listen more hle
Same … like he needs to chill 😂😂😂😂
I like that about him, or we gonna have 5 hours podcast... These people don't know when to stop! 😂
Politicians talk for a living,uninterrupted you're looking at a 5hrs episode
@@MphozaFJ I'd rather have that than MacG not listening to the whole point and missing opportunities for better follow up questions....or repeating the same things that were already said....that's where time is wasted
@@kgomotsopetrusmoselane2517 I don't like it at all....he sometimes misses the point in the conversation which is an opportunity lost on proper follow-up questions like what did the minister do when he was mayor and there were corruption allegations?....he spoke about where the corruption is but nothing about if anyone was arrested for example
The podcast is doing a great job in holding many to account politically and driving the questions that we have as the youth. I just wish you guys well and pray that we strive as a country.
First time i have ever listened to a minister who makes sense ... after Naledi phando ofcos
Ay the minister is winning hearts, I want him and his team to win and free the country of this devil called loadshedding.
Thank you, Dr. Sputla Matauzin, for the enlightening interview. Many things make sense now, and I hope our government can recognize and support individuals with such outstanding intellect and determination to address our nation's challenges. And thank you to the MacG Podcast team for providing you with the platform to explain these things to us.
His excuse about the mayoral house sounds exactly like the nkandla debacle. Nice interview. Sol and MacG are representing us very well
Nkandla is a private property with something to be gained by the owner, the ministerial house is owned and managed by the City. Where is the similarities?
MAC G needs to show us why we must vote for the podcast in the elections . He needs to ask the right questions
Eugene didn't make it to parliament...did u miss the monday episode?
@cheozeze3917 aah that's sucks. I watched it but didn't finish it.
Yah most of the people that signed are not registered to vote and some are registered but not in Gauteng.. so He didn't qualify😢
@stewartselepe734 minor oversight that cost them big. If they knew I'm 100% they would've got the proper signatures
Minister Ramokgopa knows his story,he's articulated and he can answer all questions brought to him. He is one of the good ministers in the Anc I really respect him
I don’t wanna lie this interview was the best for me from these politicians after that beautiful lady that was once here. I love it ❤❤❤
I've allways thought this guy is a chancer..but he seems competent
Me too, i used to think Ramaphosa just employed this guy to advance the speed of privatising of Eskom
Always follow first then you can decide
He's a good man
Tequila Sunrise... Mac G and Naledi outdone themselves... tastes good 👍🏾
Where did you get it? I can't find it here at Atteridgeville 😢
lol, i bought a six pack of the mango and a single can of the Tequila Sunrise. 😂 believe me when i say i went back to pick n pay to exchange the six pack😅😅 taste really good #naledivarient
ANC has some educated and experienced people. The issue is they are never given the platform to lead. This man is educated and now what he is talking about.. His academic background also gives him an advantage.
Wow!!! What a man. What a wealth of knowledge.
At some point i was very angry with ANC until the minister explained the dynamics of load shedding, well done minister
Ramokgopa is very smart. Very very smart. You have to love him and how he articulates these important issues. Wow🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I enjoyed every minute of the episode, Dr Ramokgopa is a true example of leadership. Much respect for the Man.
This guy is Eskom's Skeem GP. He can talk himself out of any situation.
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂Smooth operator that one, he never answers any question 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Please invite Mpho Dagada...that young man has all the information of this guys, he was a president advisor and is the president of Arise SA
Just search about his crypto scam to learn his true colors
He scammed people just like sandile shezi, and all the other forex and crypto guys.
The only problem with Mpho is the people who are funding his campaign. I really like him but he should refrain from pushing negative narratives from people who don't want to see blacks prosper
@@ditabamoeketsi1448 My brother go listen to that guy's interview with bra King David and also the one with Penuel. Then you'll know who is funding him. Maybe you confusing Arise SA with Rise Mzansi which are two different parties. Mind you, his party Arise SA were removed by IEC for contesting this years election. So go listen to that guy and watch his videos , clearly his touching the untouchable and they trying to silence him.
@@Mogau_Alemiam Go check the guys interview with King David and also Penuel. Than come back to me this side
Dr. Kgosi is very smart. I really learned a lot from this interview.
Please may this comment get to Mac G team... we don't have Chillers Punch in Pick n Pay Florida
I am glad this interviews of politicians are happening in numbers this days... i wish this will influence change in their leadership style
What a great interview, he shed light to a lot of questions even those that looked like pure corruption on his end at face value. However, I wish you guys had asked him if they are not looking at establishing preventative maintenance tools so as to prevent the collapsing of these systems. They need far more intelligent fault monitoring systems to ensure that they treat the symptoms and not have to cure sekumoshakele. As he said maintenance is definitely one of the root causes of loadshedding. They can look into various AI tools and Machine learning to help with preventative maintenance it’s being done by a lot of operators in the Telco space.
Mzantsi let's be honest, this guy is genuines and he know exactly what is talking about✌🏼 long leave member💯
