Your choice of guests is top tier Sizwe👌🏿. Gwarube is a dinamite,a powerful young lady,an intellect. DA is really blessed to have her as their own.
Before they fire her too
@@bonelelamene7918 🤣she and others must have learnt a lesson on what gets them fired from the party and I guess they wouldn't want to walk that route.
DA must also have learnt something from that and I'm sure they are busy correcting that too 🤜🏿.
@@bonelelamene7918 Do you understand the difference between fire and resign ?
@@ProcaviaCapensis-ts8ub yeah right😏
How long will she stay there?
I really do like this lady, she speaks absolute sense!!
You done well girl ..😂
You have my vote DA..
As a 77-year-old South Afri-CAN, my future is somewhat behind me.
But I am very happy that the future of my children and grandchildren will be in the hands of fine people like this young lady.
Good luck and God speed.
Wow!!
Great show. I love this woman. Speaks beautifully.
Admirable mind... she gives one hope.
If DA sees MK as a factor, the ANC must wake up and stop saying that they are not threatened by it. Pure empty arrogance...
the anc is just puttung on a brave face.
Maybe it is because of the MK party by-elections results where in some KZN wards MK party was NOT even contesting. How can that be a threat?
i never thought i would spend an hour Listening to a DA representative... she's brilliant . enjoyed this interview.. breath of fresh air
A refreshingly authentic interview without the usual political grandstanding and gaslighting we are subjected to by many political leaders across the spectrum. Watching this gives me hope that there are individuals who are in this for the sake of bettering life for ordinary South Africans.
With DA things get done
Deep respect for her.
THANK YOU SIZWE I LOVE AND ADMIRE THIS BRILLIANT WOMAN. BLESS YOUR HEART.❤
I don’t buy the DA positions. But it’s disappointing to see so many people claiming that this woman is captured. She’s just got a different view on the path forward. We need to understand that wherever we stand on politics, our political rivals aren’t going anywhere. We need to be able to at least acknowledge that, and learn to work alongside each-other.
The problem is that when a black person works with a white person - the narrative is pushed that the black person is captured.
Scociety should Start looking at facts and stop accepting cancel culture and who can insult who the loudest.
Racism has reversed in this country, DA is currently the only party that works for ALL OF THE PEOPLE not only certain races.
I will also say that In these parties - they vote for the leader, the leader is not chosen by the other leaders - So if you want to change the DA leader, sign up, become a member and vote when that day comes - the people have that power, not the favorites.
DA truly is the most diverse party currently supported by ALL races in membership.
I also don’t buy the da tactics but its for a different reason. 2024 looks like the most competitive election and yet we still have basic messaging from the big 3. “We are gonna fix loadshedding” “we are gonna fix the economy” but they never come to details and dive into deeper topics/ issues. Its honestly boring to see how comfortable the EFF and DA are and to even see ANC relaxed in some provinces.
@@Daimlerxy_ what must parties say? We will buy everyione ice cream... we will make the dung beetle the national animal? Are those the important matters to you?
Dude, any black person in the DA is either captured or they're in the politics for their stomach. The DA is an anti-poor and, in particular, anti non-white party. How in your right mind do you become part of an organisation that seeks to continue the oppression and exploitation of your own people? All of them (maimane, lindiwe etc.) thought they could change the face of the DA from within, look where they are; certainly not in the DA. This woman and that ntuli girl, same brainwashed not-as-smart-as-they-think-they-are people.
When you're captured you see a different view so what's your point?
I like Gwarube's points of debate. They basically talk to the country's citizens more than the push and pull. Lives of South Africans are at stake. I buy the coalition route, as it will keep everyone on his/her toes. Accountability is the best bet
Keep up The Good work
Such an interesting discussion. Parliament will definitely become a focal point in the new order after 29 May. It is good to see that there are youthful, exciting people there that will be part of this process.
Great Channel Sizwe. I am a huge fan! Do not stop. Kudus!
Vote DA 💙
Never
Wow!! Siviwe..... I honestly like your focus, people, people, people. What more do we want or expect from the government
I have so much respect for this young woman! Your intelligence and reasoning are so refreshing. 🎉 Please tell DA to be more accommodating.
Just look at the track record of the DA (Do not bring Race into this). 100% clean audits, infrastructure bill, increased tourism, increased jobs, over 300k last year, less unemployment, city crime busting operations, increased housing. Where else in SA do you find this? Again, this is not about race but about accountability to South Africans
You cannot ignore race, if different skin colours have different experiences under the DA. DA ignored it at its peril.
@shanaazcloete8531 Disagree: If we had to bring race into everything we do, then we go back to the 60's. We are past that, just because the DA is ked by a white person does not make them racist, can say same about the ANC, EFF, BOSA etc. It's about political expediency and integrity.
Race
How far are they with crime busting in a small confined Cape Flats? How about service delivery in black townships in Capetown?
@djkobusmusicsa3590 what else do you want the DA to do????? The SAPS is managed nationally and NOT provincial, hence the DA pushing for control of saps within the Western Cape. Because the ANC has done fokol, because they know the DA will look bad. The DA took action and trained it's own officers (LEAP) which is essentially a local crime assistance force of 1200 "officers". The DA is going what they can, but they DO NOT CONTROL SAPS OR THE MANDATE OF SAPS. Fuck it annoys me with people seeing such progress in the province but fall for all the bullahit propaganda or don't even understand what's actually happening. So tell me now, who else has a track record like the DA?
My people! Forward DA forward! You have my vote!
Remember what they did to Steve Biko,and the sharpville Massare
@@thabisomkosi2245 you're misinformed... I remember many things for that matter but what's important is right now and the future of the kids.
@@thabisomkosi2245 The way Helen Zille exposed the South African government that time was brilliant. It brings me hope seeing that journalists like her (rest in peace Derek Watts) still exists
@@thabisomkosi2245 the DA didn't exist at the time of steve biko..in fact - helen zille exposed the apartheid government at that time + brought justice to biko's death
@@thabisomkosi2245 leave the hate brother. Those killers have been dealt with. DA is not who you think they are. I fact. SA would be crappy for you and me if the DA didn't exist. They fight for us every day.
I joined the Democratic Alliance because of people like her in the party.
Siviwe for SPEAKER of parliament!
Level headed political leader!
'Parliament will become RELEVANT for the people when they focus on feeding the starving Xhosa children in the Eastern Cape.
And ignore the irrelevant shenanigens in Gaza!
SA takes a non aligned stance on Russia-Ukraine you complain. We say something about genocidal netanyawu you complain.
@Siz, I am really proud of the channels and your growth! It is really good to see.
Good to see young people talking about the future of the country unlike people who don't want to take retirements
I think the DA made a mistake putting John as president. The chief whip seems to be a more credible leader. She knows how to use her words and the level of awareness she has is way higher than the other 'out of touch with reality' leaders. Great interview Dr Sizwe.
Not really
You just never give John a fair shot cos hes white
DA is tired of using fronts...
these experiments eventually grow to be uncontrollable, and not knowing of their place😂.
Aint sure if the white constituency feels the same
Couldn’t agree more. John doesn’t even have a degree, wouldn’t want him running the country
Your choosing of guests is truly emmaculate, the conversation, questions are very informative and educational, keep up the good work Mr Mpofu i really enjoy your podcast.
So much respect for Siviwe, real talent andsuch a nice human being
Powerful lady I like her she knows her work keep it up don't forget to put God first and prey trust him He will do wonders for our country❤❤
This type of information about the elections and the inner workings of parliament are what the IEC should be educating the electorate about..your plathora of guests in the recent past has been interesting and very informative..kudos Doc...💪🏾
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
LADYS YOU MAKE ME AS A DA WOMEN SO PROUD KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Wow 👏🏽
Siviwe I love your energy and I agree all
Politics is not for the people, it's self interest period.
Period. And the interests from the dark shadows and big business...
Another clever black
@quintonmlambo9746 what do you mean 😅
@@Siriuan big business puts food on the table
@@caven7056exactly! Big business, banks & government has people depending on them for almost everything. Food, water, electricity, shelter, transport, entertainment, healthy. Exactly how they want it.
Great Interview
Beautiful to watch awesome conversation
I really felt the concern around the women's treatment in Parliament really that the institution was never built with the women in mind. Hope all these women can work on this and stop sweeping things under the carpet 🤭😳
Good analysis. She is not delusional
Vote DA save South Africa 👍
I enjoyed listening to Ms Siviwe Gwarube's views and I the insights she shared. I am glad that she engages on this channel.
DA declared EFF it's enemy number one. There is no way you can work with your enemy.
Nothing says "rational centrists" like refusing to work with the only leftist party in the game 😂
That was extremely naive to declare EFF as enemy number one, more so given that EFF is not a party in government and they worked with EFF before to keep ANC out of the municipalities.
Enemies work together all the time. Kanti don't you understand the art of war?
@@khaltsharivist365 The Same DA it doesn't support EFF Motion Confidence, like Judge Hlophe's motion, Former PP Busiwe Mokwebane
@@mpilompanza9101 so it art of war?
Thanks!
Thank you!
She is so beautiful I love her
If only you were the leader of the DA .
The DA has many very young , honest and very capable leaders of ALL races across SA!
Now isn’t that the type of country we want?
The DA has many very young and very capable leaders of all races across SA!!
Give John Steenhuizen a chance as President he wil show you what he can do he is the right person to fix South Africa
No! No! John needs a chance to do his Matric at Ntsika Secondary School where I teach two subjects, English and Mathematics.
Mooi gepraat
Let’s give DA a chance.
Bravo 👏 👏. Vote 🗳 DA
What does our Constitution say in case a Coalition government at National level collapses, in many countries if that happens then the whole country has to hold National Elections again and again and again and again........ , Which means you can be like Italy, or Israel, etc whereby you can have 10 different Presidents and different National governments in the next 5years, So Good Luck South Africa, we are in for a VERY !!!! VERY !!! unstable political period going forward!!
Thanks
Thank you!
Accountability? What accountability? Accountability is the enemy of cadre deployment.
Love your podcast 🎉
Can you come to UKZN and talk to students and staff about the importance of 1. Ethical governance, 2. Knowing what changes you want to see and vote for a party that will take SA in that direction & 3. The importance of social & political economy. B4 the elections.
We Voting EFF
If the DA wants to be a meaningful force they should work with whoever is necessary to benefit SA people
Siviwe,will you appeal the new NHI bill soon to be signed by CR
I'm not a fan of the DA anymore, but I am a fan of Siviwe Gwarube. She should be the face of the DA. The DA has missed a trick here for this election. Some of you will understand what I mean by that. 😏
we all understand what you mean lol
The DA has already tried parachuting in inexperienced black leaders and suffered the consequences.
This lady is great and I'm sure that in time she will earn bigger leadership positions.
My biggest issue with the DA is the basic income grant. I cannot vote for that. Same with Action SA. Socialism is all fine and well until you run out of other people's money...
@@taaniadyzel9756 Do you actually know what the DA's stance is on BIG ?
@@ProcaviaCapensis-ts8ub yes, I actually do, do you understand the long term ramifications of socialism at all? A BIG is not the way to build this country back up or create a future for our youth in any way shape or form. I have zero issues with diability grants or old age grants. Our people do not need hand outs, they need to be able to build their own lives and future with dignity and self respect.
The election itself will not be interesting to be honest, we can already see a trend of where things are going. What will be VERY interesting is what happens afterwards. Who will be working with who at national and provinsional levels and at what cost? What compromises and consessions will parties be willing to agree to?
That Is exactly the crucial part of this election
We can see the trend but we don't know the exact numbers which will define what happens afterwards .
Its a bad idea for any other party to resuscitate ANC..., but if its DA, its fine😊😊😊! I hear you Gwarube.
From minute 26 is what will be the biggest win for South Africa will be. 🤝
Please can you guys get Lauren from OHM on your show. They’re the only party offering real solutions.
The system needs to change to one of direct elections where we elect politicians. Currently the parties decide who goes where. From councilors to mayors to premier to the president. We have no say! That is not a true democracy.
Politicians serve their parties and their billionaire funders and not the people!
Keep orking your way as Lindiwe did - you might earn a "scholarship reward" to Harvard. One can hear your application ... so transparent.
You're so ignorant given time this young lady will be an excellent representative of the DA it shines through in her she cares about the welfare of all South Africans you're so quick to be sceptical every time the DA recruits an African person in a position of authority time will tell and you will eat your words and don't underestimate the power of a women
@@user-md4op6ko3y What we need to do first is fixing all the infrastructure before anything else. Without with, we are all toast.
Funny, she says opposition parties should come together, but they have declared EFF enemy number 1 😅
Everybody and his uncle wants to get into parliament. Life must be exceptionally good when that is where you hang out. I would like a "so called" job where I can hang out, be well fed and still get paid for it by the taxpayer.
Politics is not for the people, it's self interest period.
Politics is not for the people, it's self interest period.
The DA leaders are top noch! This lady is the future of the DA, which is around the corner. She is brilliant!
Being used by the racist DA....., as an African woman
I think we must have local elections every 2 years and national elections every 4 years. We'll work with the current reality but That's just me.
Hi sizwe did the DA consider bringing in Bosa into their coalition as musi mmimanne was in the Da
All the registered non-voters have realised this which is why they don’t vote anymore, but when will people realise this?
Politicians serve the interests of their parties and their billionaire funders, not the people.
The system needs to change to one of direct democracy where we elect politicians directly and hold them accountable. They should fear and serve us! That’s how a democracy is supposed to work. We’ve been abused for 30 years and much longer before that.
Vote for system change! Don’t give power to parties that are funded by the elite and who’s against changing the system!!!
The question on smaller parties and John's utterances really put Siviwe in an uncomfortable position...look at her body language...arms fold, then arms come apart and hands come back in a crossed position, lol kunzima!...Good question Sizwe! Siviwe also spun it well!
Siviwe I hope that your part of the President pack
Eastern Cape...kunzima nyani pha...my home province as well. No hope whatsoever, people love uKhongolose!
Why do all the people run away from the ANC, Eastern Cape to go to live in the DA, Western Cape?
Think!
The ANC is now dead ... RIP!
Are she on of the people in the kleva blacks association (kba)? Im playng ofcos thank you mme nosiviwe
This young lady is not like any other African that have represented the DA they have a very sringent recruitment Policy and you can see this shines through in this young lady given time in mainstream Politics and maturity she would make a very good Premier of the Western Cape and i am sure she has Helen Zillers blessing
How can you have a stringent recruitment policy when your leader only has a matric? Be honest, if you are a certain colour, they have a stringent recruitment policy.
Stringent recruitment when it comes to Africans you mean? The European contingent not so much & hence matriculants Natasha Mazzone faking their qualifications and still get promoted. John can and has and will lose elections and remain in post.
As long as the DA brain trust and donors don’t change their orientation, It’s only a matter of time before she is pushed out like Mazibuko, Mashaba, Maimane, Mbali Ntuli, Phumzile Van Damme etc.
@@traumaqueeen Why do you have a problem with Steenhuizen's matric ?
Zuma has a Std 3 and Juju was leader of the EFF as a failed woodworker.
Academic qualifications in politics are not nearly as important as intelligence and experience.
This is not about Race its about putting people in positions that can do their jobs competently
@@ProcaviaCapensis-ts8ub She has a problem with Steenhuisen's matric because no black person would be recruited into your DA - let alone be catapulted to a leadership position - with only a matric.
Zuma and Julius long upgraded their qualifications - they are both university graduates now but you're still peddling their former standards because, as the original post mentioned, you only care about education when it comes to black people. And then you get surprised when people rightfully call the DA racist.
1st requirement, twang.
as a black South African, one would've hoped the talented young ones like the Siviwes of this country would step into parliament, be welcomed and mentored by oMama who are strong, ethical and exemplary- instead kukhona abamama beANC- oNqakula, Majodina, Bathabile, Lindiwe, etc...amasela😕
Why would ANC Mamas mentor DA sellouts? She's being mentored by Glynnis Breytenbach this one
Must be shadow minister in that way to sigh
Here is a likelihood, ANC 45%, EFF 14%, MK 8%....That's 67% and would give that coalition 2/3 majority! Ayeye!!!😂💥💥💥 Ayesab'amagwala....but this would probably mean, Ramaphosa out!
These 3 parties hate each other. There won't be a marriage. Who wants to join a sinking ship???
These betting odds look better to me ANC 36% EFF 12% MK 9% you forgot the Multi party Charter 27%
Oh sorry I'm just revised the May poles ANC30%
EFF 12%
MK7% you loose man Multi Charter all the Way
Come on man...ANC at 30%!?! Anything projecting the ANC below 40% is ridiculous but hey who knows!?! I also think MK is over projected, they will be lucky if they get 5%. But then again, we are all speculating and one thing we can be certain of is, it is going to be a very interesting election, let's just hope that it brings about real change for the poor black masses of this affluent country currently known as South Africa. @user-md4op6ko3y
The ideologies of race continue to plaque South Africa, as long as political parties see themselves from a perspective of class, racial and ethnicity, one would put forward the argument that we have regressed drastically in terms of building an inclusive nation founded not on the basis of difference but of unity.
we literally have a country forged out of racial identity and we must now just ignore the foundation of our country? Make it make sense
Unfortunately there was never inclusive nation it only a dream to have united nation in our diversity
Where is vandame
Hmmm this episode has brought alot of settles, Same as a ruby match the settles wont waste thy tym watching bafana Bafana only us the natives who will always try to fit in 😅😅😅
Always interesting to hear Gwarube. However, the DA is a walkie-talkie for the status quo. Talk all she wants about property rights and freedom. Without transformative means, there is no solutions to poverty.
Poverty = too many people for the countrey's resources.
Poverty can be reduced by 50% through birth controll for 20 years.
Like China did!
Who said eff want to work with people who are selling black people
Taking into account the various results from pollsters,are they subjectively beholden and influenced by their funders in their analytical assessments?
Then DA already lost unfortunately
LEAVE MY PARTY OUT OF YOURE UGLY BRAIN
Where?
.elections
You have lost but brain functioning
It would be silly to put them in power to be honest.
Every nation has its sellouts willing to do the work of the enemy
Who is the enemy ?
@@ProcaviaCapensis-ts8ubEuropean Land thieves and their descendants
People that steal land n livestock then blame the victims@@ProcaviaCapensis-ts8ub
What I notice, all the people we call sellouts or puppets don't steal poor peoples money like ANC and EFF.
@@sizwemeyer6076 Yes. They only allow the status quo to continue sucking the country's minerals dry. Noone really cares about the minerals. We just care about Nkandla and that type of thing🥱
Great interview and I like her politics but not convinced to vote DA.
After the elections we will either have an ANC led Coalition or a DA led Coalition.
If you want a prosperous country that works again with investment and jobs to uplift millions of people out of poverty, vote to strengthen the DA and
Multi Party Charter!!
Our country will not survive another five years of more of the same and even worse as our country’s finances and infrastructure deteriorate even more rapidly!!
It's none inclusive, and without negotiations, it exclusively formed and excluded some parties!!
We also dont want to work with them , sellout ! ... I heard Holomisa also saying we want a new cordesa and other politicians saying we want to "re-negotiate". What is that ? What is democracy? By my understanding democracy is the voice of the majority , so what is there to negotiate rather than putting laws and progressive ideas at work ? What's wrong with us black nation 😢
We never fought for democracy but for liberation. Current situation is captured.
Eish Bro, I am also still trying to figure out what is wrong with the lack nation.. most of our black leaders have failed us.
No , democracy is not simply the voice of the majority. You still need to listen to the rest of the people.
For example , if you have 10 people in a room and 6 of them vote to have pork chops for lunch but the 4 Muslims vote against it , what do you think should happen ?
Madame President 2034?
So Vote DA and celebrate the 'growth' and then they will tell us how they will vote? and somehow this will translate as the people's vote?
When is da showing her the door. Or is the da black project declard unsuccessful?
Da cant get involved with ine of that paries then i dont vote da andask all the da voters to vote for some body else. You cant vote for anc and eff or mk theire ters
Ngamasimba la. Ma umuntu elalwa libhunu akuphelele kuleyo toilet engasibhedeli thina
Very smart soon she will leave the DA they don't last long there, remember Lindiwe and many others
Thy loss because of values the DA hv values showing character that's why thy loss that's about own values!! The people who leave the values of the DA compare my values and some of the black people don't like strictly boarders that's why thy leave not of any Els and they are not honored to say is because of values
I like ths lady she's more open and knw whats she want I respect her that's characteristic she show on the show
She's a honest lady I like her
Your a racist who write here your part of the racist
You didn't hear where she said that she likes the party?
Go listen again.
Mazinbuko
The DA for me is scary especially when i see and hear whats happening to gugulethu Langa and other townships surrounding the cape.. So theres nothing new they offering on the table
What's happening?
All under the ANC councillers
Who do the people in those areas vote for?
And Alexander in Joburg is not scary.
Am not defending anyone.
Alex one of the largest townships in Joberg yes it is dangerous and has a lot of problems many illegal immigrants but as people have answered it's run by the ANC the DA is NOT the ANC
The reason I will not Vote DA is the removal of Advocate Mkhwebane. Big mistake there. Soon, the DA will remove you just like Mr. Maimane.
Why do you think that?
Chinese wissom:
'The colour of the cat doesn't matter ... what matters is which cat can catch mice!'
The most competent leaders must get into parliament to SAVE SA!
Skin colour is no qualification for a position ... you need much more than that.
Poor tea girl of gogo hell zille😂. Ask van dam and Musi. You will end up furthering your studies or a just quitting for personal reasons 😂
Typical DA leader first blame the ANC for everything, talk of a thriving western cape but ignore black areas (cape flats, nyanga, langa etc). Hellen Zille with a black face
This one thinks a lot😂😂😂
