Thank you for this episode. One of the reason I stopped watching our main line TV channels (both public and private) is that they are no longer creating content which builds me as an audience and a citizen of the country. It’s so overtly modelled around corporations and not the nation. This episode is so informative, educational, enlightening, and refreshing. So much encouraging for our nation that we have people like your guest, ntate Lehohla.
Mr Mashebela you're real intellectual lecture you ❤❤. You can able to engage in any kind of Topic whether is social, economically or academically and political you make sure you raise critical points or facts
I have listened to this interview for at least three times....this was a very interesting interview. what amazes me is that how are we failing as a country yet we are having such brilliant minds amongst ourselves
Proud to have known this family since I was young primary school...friends with his brother child ❤ Legana Lehohla ...very respected family in Lesotho 🇱🇸
A degree from the National University of Lesotho (NUL) with double major in Statistics and Economics, postgraduate studies in demography from the United Nations Regional Institute for Population Studies (UNRIPS) at the University of Ghana and Senior Executive Programme jointly awarded by Wits and Harvard Universities. ... WE NEED YOUTH WITH THIS TYPE OF ACHIEVEMENT and WISDOM to lead in the political space,What we also need is scenario planning put in place by the policy makers, and instantly implementable at local and national level..
We need wise, kind people with high moral values and an ability to build success. I have experienced highly certificated people with very bad manners and a toxic attitude.
This is awesome. I've also noticed that now we've now entered an era where policy is void of stats, facts and logic. It is now informed by populism and baseless narratives. I pray that people like Mr Pali Lehohla continue sounding the alarm. I've had enough of lazy policy making, it's costing us big time. Great interview.
I really enjoyed this interview ❤️Mr Pali is talking numbers, his language is numerical and as a Finance student this was very informative and I am in awe
This interview is a clear evidence that black people can lead, ntate Lehohla has proven the nonsense that we are incapable. We have to love and believe in ourselves, blackness is the order of creation.
I had an opportunity to have a 30 minute conversation with him at the Rand Easter show, I was so star struck I could not even speak properly for the first few minutes. I remember my first time seeing him on TV in the yellow suite on morning live, it subconsciously planted a seed of wanting to be a statistician.
Ntate Mashabela. One behalf of all Subscribers, we humbly ask for you to invite Warren Masemola. 😂😂😂 Maybe you are friends with him, and you know his life story, but we only know him from TV. We humbly beg for you to invite him to the podcast. Keya leboha.
The wisdom of ntate Lehohla is out of this world. If only our government was making decisions based on the evidence produced by our researchers, that we pay with our taxes!
Incredible conversation with former SG. I've always admired the passion that Ntate Lehohla has for development, including the development of people. I benefited personally as a young statistician and I watch this podcast in awe of the depth he has in terms of history and understanding the role of statistics in the governance and in the development of nations. It took me days to get through this content as I had to make notes and rewind several times. Thank you David & Ntate Lehohla.
19:45 I remember when I used to think I was dom and I was bad at Maths. The healing only happened now at at 33 years old when I decided to further my education and I discovered that there was nothing wrong with me and that I was good at Maths. I wish more people knew what I know now but much earlier on in their Maths journey.
I love how KingDavid matches his tops with the guest's style...what a typical virgo.well im one,it is important tp make guests feel welcome.i love this about you Ntate Mashabela. Stats lay our challenges bare,re leboge Ntate Pali❤
1. The absent fathers and unemployment are directly correlated 2. Our politicians don’t know what they are doing 3. Using apartheid as a reference post 1994 is setting the bar too low
Great podcast. A lot was learned, and it would be empowering to have more of these interviews. Maybe someone else from a public health perspective, especially with recent developments in the National Health Insurance.
King David, I am in love with your BRAIN. Thank you for bringing all the superb guests. We equally have to bring our brains to class as there is proper learning taking place here.
I believe strongly that any and everyone who is in a position of leadership should watch this. It's very long but very insightful. Governance by the numbers
I started my Saturday morning learning and can only say, I’m glad I landed on this podcast. My mind is stimulated and my level of curiosity has increased. Thank you both you Gentlemen, beautiful minds 🙏🏽
Let me say fatherlessness leads to the problem of unresolved issues and postponement and it's the same thing in my life. By the way I have a lot to say on this topic but let me end by saying the problem of South Africa is broken families
You can say that again. I wish I could say more too and it hurts me seeing our brothers going around impregnating girls without planning to be in the child s life. . .
@@ThabisoRatlou i believe the core of it its at the family level , we need to be intentional about the values we instil in our sons and daughters but most importantly what we model as parents.
You're spot on Sindana. It all starts with families. What pains me the most is that in African society rubbish behavior has been normalized. Im turning 40 soon and have zero kids. Why ? Children are to be produced in marriage. Where is our pride as a people.
Ntate Pali Lehohla is a well of knowledge / wisdom and the ANC government should have worked closely with him in developing some of their policies. The only problem is that they were not going to let go of populist ideas for sensible well-informed policies. The contrast between the ANC approach to his stats and how the Chinese reacted to his report(s) shows why we are far from catching up to the rest of the developed world. Great interview!
In South Africa, one major issue is appointing people with no experience to leadership positions. Instead, we should ensure that those seeking leadership roles are experts in their respective fields. It's crucial to have leaders who are knowledgeable and articulate about the subject matter they represent, rather than just being focused on their history as freedom fighters. This approach will lead to more effective and encouraging leadership, as seen in the examples of the old man and Kadima, who have demonstrated expertise and personal growth. Unfortunately, the current political culture tends to prioritize pleasing comrades with little sense, rather than selecting competent individuals who can bring positive change to the country's situation, such as Eskom.
1:48:00 I am of the belief that UNISA needs a competitor in the form of another long distance University to challenge them and wake them up from inefficiencies!
An asset to Africa. This interview is inspiring me to study my post grand... Imagen Ntate Pali engaging Julius Malema. Just imagine that interview. CAN YOU PLEASE INVITE DR KGOSI LETLAPE
Mr Lehohla spoke from a very honest and researched view, unlike politicians who will speak a whole lot of nothing. The man helped me understand the numbers better.
How i wish i could have had an opporrunity to listen to Ntate Pali before i registered for my economic indicators module😢,i shall repeat it with more underatanding next year.Ntate Pali's passion of stats has ignited more interest on the subject.i will pass next year😊
Leadership King David. ❤ I just giggle a little as he Chuckles on when he mentions the SA Government Officials! Clearly a lot of issues need to be addressed and corrected within that Space!. A question though if am following correctly here.! It is said that once the dad is added on the birth certificate of a child, their child :- they need to be present for literally everything the child needs to be administered for?
Exactly.. our current system has given most of the guys more freedom. When traffic officers are having roadblocks checking for road fines, they road also check for maintenance as well.
Also, if the father is on the birth certificate, it is likely that he is present and supportive. Therefore, it is an indication of that or at least the likelihood of presence and support.
I just want to congratulate Mashabela on bringing this one. I have an issue on the educational side of the story for the population. Roelf Meyer was on JJ Tabane not so long ago where he fully agreed about the impact of bantu education was the most brutal system apartheid could ever produce which will stay with our society for many many decades to come. Those of us who were lucjky to have parents who were able to take them abroad as the gentleman now we will never understand the impact of that policy that killed millions of black people for ever.. Any other thing could be resolved or forgotten but that education cancer is the most DANGEROUS ONE.
Great conversations I'm impressed Like the Shirts ,There’s immense potential for foreign investment from all over the world, but current policies, including racial biases, property rights issues, and the socialist leanings of the ANC, repel investors. But in my envisioned future, these barriers were torn down. South Africa saw an influx of foreign investment and a rapid decrease in unemployment. The country’s informal economy, especially the vibrant township entrepreneurial scene, showcases our resilience and potential.
This country has so many broken families, across all races. We lean toward not wanting to bring kids into this bad society, but nature has other plans. So the unwanted kids suffer. How do we promote strong family values? Crime has to be fixed first, or it will continue. Very interesting talk. Thanks for the brain food. :)
Around 70 - 80% of children are fathered by about only 15% of men. Women are having kids with the same men who already have other kids they don't look after. Women too must make better choices in partners. Having children out of wedlock has been normalized, and these are the results.
But fathers still go to home affairs with court orders sometimes or affividvits from the mother's and Home affairs still take longer than 8 months to process
1:25:00 Mr Pali, well points out the need to hold out government to account - if they say we will have 38% unemployment - problem is if much of the population has no understanding of such matters they might just vote for they always voted for or have voter apathy.
Thank you for this episode. One of the reason I stopped watching our main line TV channels (both public and private) is that they are no longer creating content which builds me as an audience and a citizen of the country.

TV has become irrelevant to a number of ppl...
David conducted this interview like the well experienced host and entertainer he is. Great and well informed guest. An interview to cherish 🤌🏾
Always🎉🎉🎉
I kept rewinding and haven't finished the 3hrs.
The relevance of this conversation is outstanding 🙏

Good morning my king. Please my king invite Ntate Dikgang Moseneke.
Very insightful conversation, Ntate Lehotla is someone young people should drink from his wisdom.
Powerful interview, felt like one was in class. its sad that such minds are not listened to. Thumbs up Bra Dave, you did your research well
It was epic. I just hope Pali continues his work outside of office. He's too important to become irrelevant.
Ntate Pali Lehohla gave gems here, removing the veil about the hypocrisy of the West and the stupidity of our so called leaders.
The most important person to South Africa that is never given the mike as often as he should as the Stats he speaks to speaks volumes
This is an awesome interview. Ntate is so brilliant! Thank you for bringing him to the show.
I really enjoyed this interview ❤️Mr Pali is talking numbers, his language is numerical and as a Finance student this was very informative and I am in awe

I remember wanting to be like Pali when I was young. We need role models as young men.
I studied statistics because of him
Beautiful interview. Listened to this driving from Ladysmith to Johannesburg.
You must have had a great drive man. I wanna take a long drive now…😂

woow nice.
so your a statistician now?
@@tthabane3 I can safely say I'm well on my way there I have a BSc Econometrics and an Honours in Mathematical statistics
Uncle Dave thank you so much for this type of content... It's highly appreciated 🙏
The episode was truly educational and insightful. So many gems in this conversations… and that shirt 🙌🏽
Truth be told...men like ntate Lehohla are so many in our neighbourhoods the problem is that we dont pay any attention to them...
💯
When you are a laitie it's important to listen to ama grootman, bra mdeva you took me to school with this one 🙏💯
Ntate Mashabela.
One behalf of all Subscribers, we humbly ask for you to invite Warren Masemola.
😂😂😂 Maybe you are friends with him, and you know his life story, but we only know him from TV. We humbly beg for you to invite him to the podcast.
Keya leboha.
I thought I'd take a quick glance at this and I ended up glued to my tiny cellphone screen to watch and listen to this excellent interview.
The wisdom of ntate Lehohla is out of this world. If only our government was making decisions based on the evidence produced by our researchers, that we pay with our taxes!
Great conversation I've leant a lot from this. David put Mr Lehohla and Somadoda Fikeni in one room please I need more from both of them please.
Incredible conversation with former SG. I've always admired the passion that Ntate Lehohla has for development, including the development of people.

Fantastic interview! King David, you adroitly conducted this interview and ntate Pali is always such a wealth of knowledge. Congrats to you both.
Rea leboha Ntate Pali, you are Lesotho' s Pride ...
I love you interviews ❤ we get to know the upbringing of people and how they overcame life challenges 🥂 cheers man
Personally this is one of the best interviews. Numbers, sociology and policy. Mind blowing
Very informative.. Thank you David , beautiful conversation with Ntate Pali

Great interview, wisdom all around. Love this podcast.
You got my subscription for this interview, Thanks
Bra David, can we please have part 2 of Mr Pali or organise a lectures with him for youth professional
1. The absent fathers and unemployment are directly correlated
2. Our politicians don’t know what they are doing
3. Using apartheid as a reference post 1994 is setting the bar too low
Great podcast. A lot was learned, and it would be empowering to have more of these interviews. Maybe someone else from a public health perspective, especially with recent developments in the National Health Insurance.
I second that...
King David, I am in love with your BRAIN. Thank you for bringing all the superb guests. We equally have to bring our brains to class as there is proper learning taking place here.
Wow, thank you
Ntate Pali, is the big piece that is missing in South Africa Economic and Political Planning.
Brilliant interview. Thank you Gentlemen
I believe strongly that any and everyone who is in a position of leadership should watch this. It's very long but very insightful. Governance by the numbers
this is such an inportant interview. what a brilliant man. i wish we could force politicians to watch with understanding and wanting to change things.
We need to retire useless politicians next year
I started my Saturday morning learning and can only say, I’m glad I landed on this podcast. My mind is stimulated and my level of curiosity has increased. Thank you both you Gentlemen, beautiful minds 🙏🏽

agree to this insight, the best way is to deal with the root of all this so that we can have good fruits to the society.
How do we solve this issue? Is it at family level or curriculum level?
@@ThabisoRatlou i believe the core of it its at the family level , we need to be intentional about the values we instil in our sons and daughters but most importantly what we model as parents.

King David, it’s scary that you were able to
Interview such an intellect. I wish you could share how you were feeling during the three hours..
Ntate Pali, quoting Economic Theorists like nobody's business
Around 70 - 80% of children are fathered by about only 15% of men. Women are having kids with the same men who already have other kids they don't look after. Women too must make better choices in partners. Having children out of wedlock has been normalized, and these are the results.
Well said!! Women will have a child with a married man🥲 or a man who is a well known deadbeat!! I agree women need to be selfish with their wombs!!!!
Men must be better not the other way, responsibility will take us far,
@@PulaneLegotlo-nh5no women have a choice too you know?
That 15% is wild & scary and I actually think it's possible
This family value education that's very interesting
Bra Dave please invite Political analyst Mr Sandile Swana
I am done what a wealth of wisdom. Thank you for the insights
This was informative and opened my eyes
Phd level talk ❤❤ danki bra dave
This guy is more of a futurist than a statician
This episode, 10mins in and I have learned that Family and Genealogy makes a person who they are.
Makes sense now why we we were nd still r struggling with mathematics 😢😮
Very insightful
Prof Pali my role model
But fathers still go to home affairs with court orders sometimes or affividvits from the mother's and Home affairs still take longer than 8 months to process
Can't the ladies just write the father's name when registering the baby at hospital?
I never thought I had the ability to concentrate for three hours..❤
Guess what. I'm still not on my daughter's birth certificate 😮. I was at the hospital though on the day of birth.
Why
Jewels of knowledge
45:29 this man just casually explained something that *NO* news network *in the world* was ever able to explain
we did not even know tht the prison key to mandela's cell was gonna b sold
1:25:00 Mr Pali, well points out the need to hold out government to account - if they say we will have 38% unemployment - problem is if much of the population has no understanding of such matters they might just vote for they always voted for or have voter apathy.
I always had the notion that we have way too many single mothers for the man to always be at fault
Both partners are usually at fault but hey we live in times where people enjoy finger pointing.
