He starts to look like an adult when you listen to how he talks
My son stoppend growing at age 8. Im greatful to this day to the teacher who ppointed it out. As a parent I could not see anything wrong I was not expecting anything wrong with my children. He was the second born son. Im naturalky big woman his dad was also average hight so both parents normal growth. He also came back home and started asking me questions. I took him to a paedetrician who checked him up nad recommended he sees an endocrinologist. We went there and yes his growth had stopped according to the tests that the doctor did. He was 2 yrs behind boys his age group. His problem was a thyroid that was not producing enough growth hormone. His thyroid was sluggish. He was put o. Thyroid medication. He started growing amd caught up. He is now 13yrs old and looks like his peers. To God be the glory!!!
I love testimonies. AMEN.
To God be the glory sis🙌🙌someone will learn something they need to know through your story and have hope. Thanks
Amen praise God
Science be the glory, because all those who had a challenge with growth spat deficiency before the descovery of growth homones died without getting help.
Please help how can i see an endocrinologist ....my child is not growing she is 7 but she looks like a 2 year old but i was told she was going to be a little person.
"I didnt know I was different apart from the world telling me I was different" 😭😭🔥
And it’s always the case. You’ll think you’re fine until you go out meet different people asking you about your appearances
But u still fine bt in a different way
Powerful!
DEEEEEEEP!
This interviewer is paving her own way... Credits to her and her background crew
Thank you!
@@relebogilemabotja215 I really enjoyed this content. You are very good at what you do and so genuine
She's brilliant I can't get over her👌
Couldn't agree more bhuti
Well done to you Rele and your team
“Whatever your situation may be, it can never outweigh the purpose of God” wow Themba 🙌🏿!
Amen
True
Interested, what purpose are you referring to? Themba says that the lack of knowledge in his parents and the GPs who saw nothing wrong because he was healthy left his condition unnoticed.
@@trustingnobody628 Themba is the one that said that....she is merely quoting him.
What an evolved man.Love you my brother.You are such an inspiration.The personification of LIMITLESS🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲
His sense of humor though🤣🤣🤣🤣. I just love this interview
Themba should consider motivational speaking
I want to be surrounded by people like this. His energy is beautiful.

@@nthabisengtabane8156 You know me too well.
People are missing out on such educational journey of life, be it spiritually , emotionally, u name it, since day 1 I have been watching unpacked & am learning a lot on self appreciation, n being okay with myself the way I am, Relebogile girl you fire God bless you and let's keep unpacking, this show is so therapic. 😍
Oh! My!
Im immensely impressed by Temba's wisdom and eloquency..
I have learnt a lot as a himan being today.
I said it before and I'll say it again, your content is fresh.
Loved this episode and I love your show.
Thank you for great content. I look forward to your show every weekday. I even comeback and watch it on TH-cam.
Her presenting style is also beautiful.
@@thetalkwithmthakazi2494 yes she is does it so uniquely. Amazing show and host indeed
This channel's growth is amazing
Relebogile well done!
Thank you for helping make it happen!
I used to struggle a lot with accepting myself and it was made worse by the type of work I do where I have speak in front of people all the time. That was until I learned to laugh at myself and that has been a coping mechanism for me for years and it works. So I can identify with the guest's approach.
I remember seeing him while he was in high school and we were in primary. We'd go crazy cause he was one the few celebrities we could see almost everyday
"I considered myself as disabled, because I've always been able..." what a powerful statement sir
I don't get why you dont have a million subscribers 😭😭😭
If you’ve subscribed then thank you!
It’s getting there, help by clicking the share button
This content level deserves massive viewership and subscribers
My question everytime i watch every single eps
People are just being stubborn.
So much viewership with less subscribers.
"Amathambo athi!" lol love him!
That was so funny 😂❤
Amazing young man ..had the priveledge of doing missions in swaziland with him great inspiration ..the kids loved him and wow humble.
Young man ?...he's 30 years old
@@youngramsey3349 should i have said amazing old man ? Im aware of his age..but thank u for the information. 😊
I like this man, I wouldn't mind a conversation with him, couple of drinks and his humor. His confidence is on another level. Much love to you themba my guy
I absolutely love his energy and humor. Thank you both for this ❤
Thank you 🙏🏾
I love Christ being lifted up in this conversation. Wow, thank you Themba for glorifying God.
Woooow, I'm intrigued by Themba's humour, integrity and intellect
😃😃❤️ needed this, I am like 12 years but 24... thank u so much for dressing something I can relate to
Have u visited the endocrinologist
I love this interview! Themba is outspoken, has a great sense of humor and is very self aware. 🔥❤
When God gifts you with peace that surpasses understanding to guard your heart and mind in Jesus Christ .

Learnt so much about confidence in this interview. The only person stopping you from reaching your greatest potential is you. So much wisdom Themba, thank you! What a great interview Relebogile!
A wealth of wisdom!
@@relebogilemabotja215 x2www2⁴
I just want to say thank you so much for this inspiring and mind opening interview, because I can relate to it 100%.
I'm Phatiswa Jonas from Cape Town, 31y/o, I have the same type of dwarfism or growth hormone deficiency. I was also bullied growing up but I learned to adjust and deal with it.
Likely with me when I was still studying my doctor(Dr. Delport) did research of my growth hormone and I used to take growth hormone injection every night. Even though it was expensive, my parents medical aid couldn't cover my medication anymore due to funds. I must admit it worked cause back in High School I was under a meter tall and now I'm 1.3m tall.
I'm happy with myself cause I've learnt to accept who I am. I pray that one day I can inspire others and tell my story to the world. I'm able to do whatever that a normal person can do.
Thanks once again for this wonderful video bhuti Themba(I usually call him my Twin) & sisi Lebo. God bless you 🙏🏼
🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@relebogilemabotja215 ♥️
Please can I ask where can I get this doctor l really need it
@@nonkanyisondlovu5069 Dr S Delport is based in Cape Town at Groote Schuur Hospital (ward G5)
I swear not only do I watch unpacked ,I also listen to it like radio on my way to work ... I love it !
I'm proud of you my brother especially to realize we're of the same believe go Lama Sabata❤
I can honestly listen to him the whole day.......I think he is very articulate. i just like him, honestly
You are amazing at this Relebogile! I know you from Radio but THIS you are killing!
I've been saying that she is on another level here. And she just keeps growing with each episode.
You guys are so encouraging! Thank you 🙏🏾
I love Temba. The positivity vibe within him is out of this world. I never miss his interviews. #Botswana
I will never forget the childhood moments he made me experience, you are a good hearted person Themba,keep up the good work 🎉🎊🎈🙂
Much Love my Brother. Thank you to God be the Glory
I won't even touch on the confidence but his level of maturity and the God him is just a blessing and he is a blessing to watch. We share a mutual friend and I think when we were at her wedding I stared a bit especially with wifey but my mind said don't you wouldn't like it so I kept it pushing.
I love how bubbly he is and he is living in reality,His bigger than life
Wow, I have a girl child who is now 13years but looks 7, I thank God she is also healthy and in standard 3 coz was not easy for school to accept my daughter, glory to God 🙏🇲🇼🇲🇼🇲🇼
I like how abuti Themba acknowledges his families love and support. It's so wonderful watching this episode I really enjoyed it ❤️
Yhoooo my all time crush hle, his wisdom and the love he has for God...... ❤️❤️❤️
I used to say he was a dwarf but I was amazed why he looked so young, like literally young. Now I know there's something called growth deficiency
Yeah, he's not a dwarf. He just stopped growing at 11years.
You should also look into "Giant syndrome", it is very interesting.
As usual Lebo u killing it, Themba u are the best, ereng wisdom on two of u💋💋
When he went on about how he loved his wife and the religious perspective about their relationship, I could see the hostess holding herself from laughing. The camera even avoided taking an up close shot of her.
This was beautiful, sad, funny and informative...it was everything 🥺🥺❤❤❤❤❤
Kelebogile, this interview was so perfectly unpacked. I hope content creators are really watching, listening and understanding his views on the casting. He is so brilliant, wise and so clearly outspoken. I am happy I watched this because I learned a lot from it.
He's so well spoken and funny, literally lights up the whole room! Wishing him and his wife a long and healthy life.
I enjoy listening to Themba talking because of his wisdom.I wish itwas an hour long the 1st part😁!Thanks for the upload.
Ohhhhhhh Nkosi👏🏾
"Be the change that you want to see in the world"
Yesss as🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Mind blowing conversation..Themba has blessed me throughout the interview!!
Us too!
Omg 😮🥺😭 This interview was soo heartwarming and beautiful. . And Themba is amazing 😩🔥❤️❤️❤️
I'm a lady and I'm 1,5 meters tall and when I lived in South Africa I would always get comments about my height which would always remind me of how different I am from people my age group. But ever since I left SA I forget that I'm so short. People just receive with love and respect
At some point Themba was my client so I got to meet him face to face, what a perfect soul and his brains are purely amazing not to mention his enthusiasm and positive energy ALL the time.
This man is so refreshing to listen to, wow 👏🏾👏🏾. Terrific interview.
Tv is outdated TH-cam is the new wave 💯😌
Themba! You are a Hero! Not by your Strength or by your Mind but By a Great WISDOM of GOD. Forward you go 🚶with all the Blessings 🙌Upon you. South Africa 🇿🇦Loves 💘❤you
most short people are brain box .. I really love him because he's outspoken about everything
One of the most beautiful interviews I've seen, thanks sis Relebogile and to you also my man Themba✊😁😁🔥🔥...more fire
I liked before I watch that's how much I like Themba.💜
He's confident stand tall, we love you Relebogile
I like your confidence Themba,thanks Relebogile for such interesting show
Great interview- Themba is amazing!
I love his spirit bless you my brother... Unpacked is thee best show I am glad I bumped into it ♥️💯
But Mr Themba Ntuli can you just make comedy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣This episode has just made my entire Month
He's so well-spoken and has great comedic timing 🤣I could listen to him talk everyday
I looooove Themba Ntuli. So talented, so funny. There’s this one skit he did for Ofentse Mwase’s TH-cam skits that still makes me laugh to this day. He plays umfundisi, please check it out.
This interview was awesome.
I just love both of them. Wow!
I'm glad I watched this,I'm healed. We all have "conditions" that we are fighting but are not of our own making. The society need to get information and see a human first before any "condition"
I’m happy for you and agree with you.
Articulate, intelligent human being. His confidence outshines any other issues. Thanks for sharing.
Wena, why are you so beautiful and eloquent? You make your interviews seem so easy and enjoyable. Thank you for this show. Every time I watch your shows, I learn something. I laughed when Themba said his coffin wouldn't be expensive. I'm 54 and I keep thinking what size coffin they'll for me. 😊😊 I lost both my legs in September 2019 through surgery. I've gone from a height of 167cm to 117cm. 😄 I'm still learning how to live with myself in my new normal.
This is ny first episode and wow 👏
And I just saw this channel it's amazing
Themba is such an inspirational man. How he carries himself is just phenomenal
Relebogile beats seasoned you tubers all over the world. The stuff she brings out here is always educational. Thanks Relebogile I am hooked because of the engagements of your subjects.
Wow. Thank you!
She's a force yooh. Like I'm obsessed. She's really good I cant😇🙃
@@mandisazulu8426 She's AMAZING. I'm in AWE!
Your episodes are very touching. You honestly deserve more subscribers, may God bless you ❤
Thank you so much for this. As the youth I feel that it's important to have conversations like this and channels like this that talk about the rawness of certain situations and expirences that people have. We love you and we hope to see more.
This was school. He attends my church but I’ve never been able to ask because people need their privacy, also people come to church just to fellowship. Now we know what to do with our children or advise our friends. Thank you for the lessons.
His sense of humor 🙌🙌! His love for Christ 🙌🙌! What an amazing soul! What a beauty to watch and listen to! 💜
I enjoyed this interview so much. I would love to meet Themba and have a conversation with him, so intriguing and beautiful to listen to.
Hayi sisi, give us part 2 already. Please note these episodes help me go through my day at work. Very informative and REAL. Camagu sisi. Your work is much appreciated ❤️
I’m happy to be able to help you through your work day. Stay warm! ✨
When themba said "Everything Works"🙌🏽🤗
Oh gosh I love Themba so much 🥰🥰❤️I just want to hug him
My mom used to compare him with Aki and Popo actors. They had same condition but from Nigeria
Good interview, enjoyed it. Themba is great story teller; I could listen to him whole day. Very funny guy and great sense of humor.
Wow this man is intelligent, I wish and I hope that some day we will see him traveling the world, sharing his story bcz I'm sure everyone would be amazed seing somebody with that condition happy and made peace with it, even joking about it.
I love his energy n sense of humor
