Dr J.J Tabane we Salute you both Sizwe for your contribution in our society.

[bongani]

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

[welilejiba]

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.

[WandileAmos]

Dr. J.J. Tabane is a GOAT. ❤ Thank you for inviting him. 🎉

[mishacknthane]

Sizwe is a good listener and that makes him a good interviewer.

[tryphosaramano]

I love the phrase " doing God's work" by JJ. He is indeed truth to power

[kingseb]

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 ❤❤❤❤

[Dr_RisimatiMathye]

Thanks to Dr. Sizwe Mpofu and Dr. JJ Tabane for your fresh perspectives. Keep it up...

[hedleyfurio]

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

[siphoth]

Very interesting conversation, thoroughly enjoyed it 👌

[sammakwela]

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.

[knmthethwa]

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!

[jackiebohale]

Please bring JJ back, fire interview, 🔥🔥 Sizwe the respect you have for your guests is on another level
