So you promote every party except EFF? When have you interviewed a prominent person of the EFF? I will never support this channel. I am not f00led by your fancy accent/ English nor PHD. I am convinced you are not unbiased politically nor apolitical.
There are only two politicians in South Africa who truly understand how politics work: Jacob Zuma and Helen Zille they know how to play the game so well. Although I'm not a fan of Zille's politics, I have a soft spot for her and I always say she's an intelligent woman.
I definitely concur with you, as much as I don't like her but I envy her dark politically side that always proves how vehement she is in politics. Definitely her and Jacob Zuma are the best in politics.
Dr Sizwe you are changing the landscape of political interviewing in South Africa. You are going to become a major player in Political Media and influencing. Your power is hidden in your modesty and respectfulness. Mega blessings, mega thanks.
Enjoyed the chat with uGogo Zille. She is human and quite likeable. Always good to hear an alternative perspective and learn new things about the South African experience.
EXACTLY! If I get to go into a podcast and reinvent myself like Panyaza. Or Floyd or Zuma or Cilliers... then we need to research between the lines ourselves? I like Clements style because answers must be had
Helen has always been on the moral side of history, from her anti-apartheid days against the NP to her anti-corruption days against the ANC. She ruffles a lot of feathers but often its because the truth is uncomfortable. May our wonderful nation produce many like her in the future.
Notwithstanding how great this channel is and the amount of effort it took to secure an hour with Zille, I do feel the interview was mostly biographical. In contrast with other interviews, I would have loved her in-depth perspective on GNU, the MK Party, the future of EFF given it's leadership changes and mostly her take on the Phala Phala scandal (though I admit that would have been BOLD). Commendable work Dr Sizwe.
There was such a high sense of superiority in this interview. Sizwe asked a lot of soft questions and didn't compare apples with apples especially when Helen Zille's attitude of "Get over Apartheid" permeated thruout the interview. He should have asked her if she condemned Apartheid and if she regarded it as a crime of humanity. Did she have access to land when she was a journalist? Did she recognise that Apartheid gave her white status and priveledge? How did she feel about the pass laws? What are her thoughts about segregation and the impact it has created on our society? How does she feel about the class divide and how it is skewed to favour white people? What needs to be done to adjust and correct the imbalances of the past? We can't just get over it without looking at the impact that Apartheid brought to our society. Exposure levels where very skewed to favour the minority, there was no human empathy towards this.
She has some strong points. SA needs to have these talks more often. Our leaders should also have debates. Similar to what is done in Europe and America
Thina SIZWE, you are becoming a formidable force in the media space, umona phansi🙌. How did you get Helen Zille to be such a teletubby😆, almost harmless even🤭. Respect 👌
Helene is one the most accomplished politicians in South Africa , politically savvy and aware of the pitfalls of social media ..... great interview SMWX
God bless Helen Zille! She speaks truth, she is unafraid and she doesn't cower to what the general ( misinformed) public has to say about her! WE LOVE YOU HELEN!! ❤❤❤❤
Hellen risked her life during the dark days of apartheid, sadly she's called a racist by some fat cats in ANC/ EFF politicians who contributed nothing for our liberation. It was a well balanced interview Sizwe.
One thing white liberals knew very well is that the apartheid govt would never kill them hence they had the confidence to oppose apartheid. You think apartheid govt would kill a white woman? Lol must be joking my guy
@thabotshabalala you know you can be a male chauvinist & be married or be a dotting girl dad? You can recognise & celebrate her contributions without denigrating other people’s contribution because if we start doing a like for like your Caucasian saviour complex will be found wanting. Those same ‘fat cats’ were at the coal face of apartheid regime’s brutality. Denied all the perks (fantastic housing, free education, great job opportunities etc) that your madam Zille benefited from. They were ‘guests’ at Robben Island, slept in fox holes fighting the regime & some escaped into exile. In any event yesterday’s liberator can be your oppressor tomorrow. This is a path well travelled.
Smart angle to ask about herself. Certainly upright and alert. One of the Patriotic Brilliant Politician HZ. Thank you Dr. Mpofu. Your Podcast Style, well thought through. 🎉
She knows about her history because it was reserved but we are just flying around like stupid flies with no back bone because it was broken on purpose so we can be lost. We like your show Sizwe
You forgot to ask her about the DA, deference in perspective between her and the leader of her party. We need more on DA. Nice episode my bra, appreciate what what you're doing. Ayeye! 🔥
Dr Sizwe did it again 🎉 came to Cape Town for the first time in 2022 from Joburg to study, I must say whether we like it or not, this City is by far the best run city in South Africa. Certainly ugogo has the best recipe that the other municipalities should adopt.
Proud to be a part of this channel that is growing so much. The level of guests on the pod is top tier and the production is head and shoulders above the rest. MSM watch out!
Hero for who exactly..? the person who proclaimed colonialism as "good for black people". We Africans don't have heroes that can speak like this one does.
The young and very capable DA Ministers of the GNU are shaking things up and bringing positive change and progress to our beautiful country!! Well done DA!
Sizwe you do know that you have to invite Thuli now. You can't have Helen and leave Thuli out 😅. Don't read too much into this statement. Just talk to her
She is completely right, it’s simply unfortunate that for some reason there are those that think race determine values, a misconception only future generations will learn to transcend.
@10:20 till about 11:30 i like what Hellen says. However, I, as a black South African, I do not play victim or do my family. We try to move on despite "the terrible things that happened to us during apartheid ", but until today, we're still not seen as equals despite having more than 30 years of democracy in RSA, and when we mention that or even racism, we're told to forget about it and not play victim. Hellen is sitting pretty, and she went on to tell the majority of black folks that colonisation brought about a better change to SA... makgoa 👏🏾le contradiction 😂
It is amazing to note how human Zille is outside of the DA amours. If politicians could keep their human hearts when playing, this countey would be great coz no one would under- play the pain of thers...good job Sizwe, keep it up and remain humble ❤
Congratulations Hlubi. One of the gem of this session is when you got Ms Zille to star gaze and tell us about the clash of the two visions in South Africa - in 2026 local elections and 2029 national elections. One vision - of democratic centralism of MKP and the EFF. Another vision, of an open society by the DA. Ms Zille says where the needle of political power falls shall depend on where factional pieces of a fructuring ANC shall fall along the spectrum of the two ideological polar positions. Ms Zille says the ANC doesn't know where it stands between these two great warring ideological forces. These forces are locked in an epic battle to amass to their respective sides the largest fractures of the ANC. The DA wants to preserve the GNU because it wants to govern South Africa with the neoliberal faction of the ANC - whose spiritual head is Ms Zille. MKP/EFF forces, on the other hand, lay claim to the national democratic revolutionary fructures of ANC by right of the struggle against class, race and gender oppression, exploitation and separation - the ANC yiNdlu ka Gogo (it's our Grandma's House) to which all of us belong, says former President Zuma. Very instructive podcast indeed, Hlubi.
I like the way you dramatize the synopsis...I imagined it playing out in the form of Dragon Ball Z type cartoon characters with a voice narrating in the background....😁😁😁
This was so interesting to watch. I learned a few things about Helen. She's brilliant. I liked how she talked about former Pres Zuma. How she views things and people is very interesting. Thank you Dr Sizwe, we appreciate your hard work. Blessings.
I’m so sick of politicians saying every election is the “most important one ever.” It doesn’t matter who succeeds CR, it doesn’t matter if ANC wins or MK gains more votes or if the DA wins, life goes on. No one predicted the GNU and yet here we are a few months later and the world has not ended.
Sizwe was literally given the go ahead to fire hot questions in this interview. The soft and meek approach doesn't work for the high profile guests. Would highly appreciate more on current affairs as opposed to history, memoirs, etc. Ask the difficult questions. Please be the fire!!
If I were the host I would ask what tangible change can you bring to ordinary South Africa so that by the time we assess this request we can confirm that indeed you stuck to the principle. I do not have time to listen to Helen who keeps trying to rule the country. President Ramaphosa turned 72, I hope she got him some cake, 20 slices of cause.
Helen must come to Penuel The Black Pen, but I guess he is too controversial for her and opposing arguments do not sit well with her representative agenda.
@afrobeatz556 to be fair..Sizwe is generally soft with everyone.. And I say this as an MK voter.. He has said that this is his approach to be inviting so that the politician can speak their minds and then leave it up to the public to decide..
Sizwe I think you missed an opportunity here to help us understand the politics of the DA in the context of the 2024 elections. I feel you hsouldve gone deeper into questions about the DA changing its stance on certain issues and how the GNU negotiations went.
I like the fact that your show kinda like humanize the politians.... although Helen Zille is not my cup of tea but it's always good to see the other side of people, I said it the show is becoming bigger thank you Sizwe.
100% agree... I once met mrs Zille in Stellenbosch and the experience although not bad, left much to be desired of her personability in my view. It, however naively and uninformed, solidified in my mind that she was a horrible person - may have been a bad day for her or myself. But seeing and hearing her in such settings is refreshing and soesn indeed serve to humanize her and provide a different complexion of her in peoples minds, myself being one of those...Truly speaks to the power of media and credit to Sizwe on this phenomenal platform.
Busy debriefing my visceral response to Helen's atomization of a structural conflict by liimiting it to 'identity' only, in SA's unequal, transitional context. Wholesale transfer of American PR . She is not racist but completely in denial of a global invisible system that favors people of a particular identity. Clearly being a non racist and acting along racial lines is possible in one person. We just don't have to accept her power to define and limit the groundtruth that we experience. Every. Single. Day. MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL. I would rather drop dead than vote DA, the atomisers of our lived experiences. Kudos to you and your team @Sizwe, for helping this society to hold multiple truths in tension.
Your every single day lived experience (except if you live in Cape Town governed DA) is a product of self inflicted bad choices for the support of a corrupt and incompetent government over the past 30 years. You are now blaming others and external factors for your own bad choices based on your racist views. It's a pitty you do not rather take responsibility for your actions and look for ways to beter yourself and improve the situation.
To those criticizing Sizwe's interview skills. You can tell he's that guy that people just start telling all their secrets and problems to because he will listen, not judge and probably keep it to himself. Such a guy knows more than he lets on. The result of that playing out in a podcast is that the guest feels so comfortable they start volunteering information they usually wouldn't with a confrontational host giving the audience a fresh take. Now which politicians have caught on and are playing to their advantage and who hasn't?
5 Minute in and Helen has already quoted the Nazi propaganda minister and Churchill and already denied being a racist 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣,10 seconds as the show just started she was already telling Sizwe what to do 🤣🤣🤣
Churchill was responsible for a famine that killed 3 million people and blamed the Indian people because according to him they were "breeding like rabbits". Funny how Hitler and Stalin don't get quoted the same. Oh yeah, its because their crimes were against white people. Some of these white people as an ethnicity in Apartheid Israel today.
Original from Germany did I hear that correct? Impressive conversation. Wish could ask her exactly judge Hlophe did to became an impeachment judge very interesting to know not thru propaganda stream media. Thanks to this channel. keep it up with a good job . AYEYE 🎉
I like this Sizwe. He is growing into his role of an interviewer, very objective and gives the guest as much room as possible to express themselves in a context. Please have RAF CEO and Thabo Mbeki. Controversial characters indeed. And I know you previously had RAF CEO on your TV show and that was a heated show
I have to admit that this particular interview adds to my perception about Hellen Zille as a person......as a person I believe she is extremely intelligent....very brilliant of coz I dont agree with her politics.....and choice of words in politics.....but still I believe if you compare her with Fikile Mbalula....they You'd Agree that the ANC should be embarrassed to have him as an SG.....let alone a former minister of anything..
Big up to the whole Crew of SMWX who had to do this hard work of listening to Helen‘s bullsh@t for a whole hour to give us context and perspective!!!, I appreciate it,I can’t imagine that that could have been easy!!,you have my respect and admiration!!,Sizwe is a bigger man than I can ever be cause I couldn’t have lasted ten minutes with her!.
You'll need to pick apart exactly which parts of the interview that you found unbelievable with cross referencerable proof in order to make your case before anyone with half a brain will be able to take your comment seriously! You may have noticed that every argument she made in this interview was backed up with cast iron proof instead of the vague sort of gut feel rubbish that seems to pervade this comments section ;)
Wena ona lebothatha stru, most people dont agree with Helens politics.....but your comments are not a matter of differing opinion.....you are just out of order running on the Hater Lane.....iphe botho..
I don't like DA but I like Helen Zille. She is a non apologetic politician , and I sometimes respect the points she raises , like this 73% of unused KZN land for example.
What's not to like about the DA? The DA has a 15 year track record of honest ( Clean Audits) and very capable Governments that deliver for ALL South Africans, especially the poor!! See - DA delivers for the poor and vulnerable, BusinessDay. See - Impressive new school in the Western Cape, TH-cam. This is a beautiful new Kasi school in Lwandle in Cape Town!
You and your Zille will keep your dirty hands out of that unused land. The people of Kzn mostly Zulu's will decide what to do with it. Again, the very same 73 % unused land is with whites. Wena rest!

She is fighting very hard now to maintain continued White hegemony over Black South Africans.

She is not racist but completely in denial of a global invisible system that favors people of a particular identity.
Clearly being a non racist and acting along racial lines is possible in one person. We just don't have to accept her power to define and limit the groundtruth that we experience. Every. Single. Day.
MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL. I would rather drop dead than vote DA, the atomisers of our lived experiences.
Kudos to you and your team @Sizwe, for helping this society to hold multiple truths in tension.
Sikhulu lesi singisi, ngikuzwe nje ekugcinen uthi ubavotele ungamane
Your every single day lived experience (except if you live in Cape Town governed DA) is a product of self inflicted bad choices for the support of a corrupt and incompetent government over the past 30 years. You are now blaming others and external factors for your own bad choices based on your racist views. It's a pitty you do not rather take responsibility for your actions and look for ways to beter yourself and improve the situation.
@@pierrejoubert7195 Peace to you sir. Pity you trade on insults and assumptions rather than research based knowledge.

I couldn't say it better, same goes to me. I will never in my life vote DA again.
SMWX Is such a breath of fresh air, you never know who is coming next but it’s guaranteed to be awesome… Great Content and Amazing Interview Dr Sizwe
Press on in doing the right thing for the nation ❤.
To those criticizing Sizwe's interview skills. You can tell he's that guy that people just start telling all their secrets and problems to because he will listen, not judge and probably keep it to himself. Such a guy knows more than he lets on. The result of that playing out in a podcast is that the guest feels so comfortable they start volunteering information they usually wouldn't with a confrontational host giving the audience a fresh take. Now which politicians have caught on and are playing to their advantage and who hasn't?
I have been wishing for Sizwe to get this gogo on for such a long time!!!,thank you again SMWX ❤❤❤❤
Great work team SMWX
Absorbing interview. Brilliant questioning.
You strong my boy. You were able to bring this devil onto your show !
5 Minute in and Helen has already quoted the Nazi propaganda minister and Churchill and already denied being a racist 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣,10 seconds as the show just started she was already telling Sizwe what to do 🤣🤣🤣
Sizwe too soft with zille
@@silaskhalishwayoi disagree,Hellen Zille is a great liar so Sizwe has no choice but to listen to her bullsh@t
@@lungamasuku6872 because Helen is speaking facts and if you do not know facts you will see it as 🐂💩
Churchill was responsible for a famine that killed 3 million people and blamed the Indian people because according to him they were "breeding like rabbits". Funny how Hitler and Stalin don't get quoted the same. Oh yeah, its because their crimes were against white people. Some of these white people as an ethnicity in Apartheid Israel today.
@@silaskhalishwayo sizwe allows interviewers to take control. That's his interview style
Simply put, brilliant, smwx team, please keep it up. For the season finale, please invite Nxamalala!
Yes.... Kusele yena manje😊
“The ANC doesn’t know where it stands “ says Granny. Thanks Dr. Sizwe
Very interesting interview, thank you
Calling someone differ with you a devil?
She basically said Mmusi was becoming more black than their version of black.
"Crowd"?, well we're nt a crowd Helen, we just want our land.
We welcome Gogo Zille in the house.
@@thabelofortune 😂😂 gogo
@SkhumbuzoKhumalo-qo2ok 😹 She prefer to be called so Gogo Zille
Original from Germany did I hear that correct? Impressive conversation. Wish could ask her exactly judge Hlophe did to became an impeachment judge very interesting to know not thru propaganda stream media. Thanks to this channel. keep it up with a good job . AYEYE 🎉
I like this Sizwe. He is growing into his role of an interviewer, very objective and gives the guest as much room as possible to express themselves in a context.
Please have RAF CEO and Thabo Mbeki. Controversial characters indeed. And I know you previously had RAF CEO on your TV show and that was a heated show
Great interview Sir 😊
I have to admit that this particular interview adds to my perception about Hellen Zille as a person......as a person I believe she is extremely intelligent....very brilliant
of coz I dont agree with her politics.....and choice of words in politics.....but still I believe if you compare her with Fikile Mbalula....they You'd Agree that the ANC should be embarrassed to have him as an SG.....let alone a former minister of anything..
WELL DONE DOC! You treat every guest with the same respect. Plus tight sweater Son
She actually doesn't seem to be more of what the media perceive her to be.
Big up to the whole Crew of SMWX who had to do this hard work of listening to Helen‘s bullsh@t for a whole hour to give us context and perspective!!!, I appreciate it,I can’t imagine that that could have been easy!!,you have my respect and admiration!!,Sizwe is a bigger man than I can ever be cause I couldn’t have lasted ten minutes with her!.
That s the problem. Not listening to each other for better understanding. Hope you learn to listen to other perspectives
Hawu Tsoti. I enjoyed Helen
You'll need to pick apart exactly which parts of the interview that you found unbelievable with cross referencerable proof in order to make your case before anyone with half a brain will be able to take your comment seriously! You may have noticed that every argument she made in this interview was backed up with cast iron proof instead of the vague sort of gut feel rubbish that seems to pervade this comments section ;)
Wena ona lebothatha stru, most people dont agree with Helens politics.....but your comments are not a matter of differing opinion.....you are just out of order running on the Hater Lane.....iphe botho..
Thank you for this interview. I now understand some of Helen's reaction to my approve during a recent conversation we had 3 months or so ago.

I don't like DA but I like Helen Zille. She is a non apologetic politician , and I sometimes respect the points she raises , like this 73% of unused KZN land for example.
What's not to like about the DA?
The DA has a 15 year track record of honest ( Clean Audits) and very capable Governments that deliver for ALL South Africans, especially the poor!!
See - DA delivers for the poor and vulnerable, BusinessDay.
See - Impressive new school in the Western Cape, TH-cam. This is a beautiful new Kasi school in Lwandle in Cape Town!
You and your Zille will keep your dirty hands out of that unused land. The people of Kzn mostly Zulu's will decide what to do with it. Again, the very same 73 % unused land is with whites. Wena rest!
