I wrote a paper on Bra Zwai back in 2013, my lecturers were blown away. They knew him but didn't know how far his creativity stretches. This legend is pure gold. What an amazing composer and singer hos versatility is not only exclusive to production also the range in his voice, he got a crazy baritone and tenor that can make hairs in your back to stand TF up.

Good interview Mnisi we Mvula, it's mind opening conversation on Spirituality and Christianity. You have evolved into an independent mind to analyze the good parts of each ( spirituality & Christianity) which unfortunately we get groomed in to by society, families and environments that we grow up in. It comes out how you have evolved by your interpretation of music, this interview is really about you and different from what I have watched on TH-cam about you Mzwandile. How did your Name evolve from Mzwandile to Zwai 😂😂😅 , Next time they must bring your brothers into same interview would be interested in their take on the same.
@@ndodamakayi5220 Indeed, Zwai is a great intellect, with a great capacity to be detached, less given to loosing his cool. That said, Sagittarius (Kabelo) are also incredibly intelligent, they have an interest in everything; law, philosophy, religion (spirituality) and they never stop talking. Libras are very similar to Pisces, Pisces are very creative Mam Miriam, Nina Simone were both Pisces. They are also very rebellious, I call them the baby faced assassins, good looking, softly spoken, love their fashions, cook beautifully, but don't upset them, cause when they pull out the guns...they destroy everything in their wake, nothing remains standing by the time they're done. That said, the Sun in one's chart is just but one of the many determining factors, the moon sign, mercury, mars and Venus also play a huge role.
Why can't all the former DJ formed their own radio stations so that we could hear the proper content unlike the nonsense we hear today in most radio stations!!!
It costs a lot of money to own/set up a radio station; radio frequency spectrum license to purchasing good equipment, that would cost anything from 0.5 million to 1.5 million rand. And then you have to keep the lights on; electricity, water, ablution facilities (toilets etc), and then you have to pay royalty fees to play songs! And SALARIES...unless these luminaries are willing to work for a salary or shares. It would take a Ramaphosa or Motsepe to fund such a venture but they won't because it will upset their white masters. Media entities depend on advertising or subscription for income. Sadly, most companies in South Africa are predominantly white owned. They will happily give a white person (preferably, a man) money to start a station for Black people. This has been the case in the past, and most VJs complained that they were underpaid. One would think they have a sense of entitkemnt, until you see what their white counterparts earn. Fundamentally,cwhite monopoly capital is not willing to fund Blacks they can't control. Based on the advertising revenue model, it's easy for them to starve a Black radio station of advertising funds, and kill it. Subscription? Black folk can't afford as evidenced by MNet and Showmax subscription numbers. It would take an Africanist with deep pockets to invest, but trust and believe, the saboteurs would be many, both White and Black (toxic ANC).
Grootman Sbu.May you please call upon Abba Ayalew Amlak as your next guest on the show.We would love to learn more from his depth of knowledge and how he deciphers things. Thank you in Advance

Zwai Bala is a legend I hope to see a TKZee Documentary one day
The song Zwai played is going to be the most covered song by all choirs and orchestras in the country. Very spiritual and therapeutic.
Zee in TKZee... legend. icon.

Multi gifted Zwai. Very respectful and humble too. Listening to him, he can also sounds very motivational. Could try being a motivational speaker
I haven't missed an episode ever since your podcast started. Thank you.
mkhaya wam....i remember the song ndize indkhumbuza ekhaya kwanobuhle etinarha😭😭😭😭
TKZ Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius; Air, Fire, Air. They were a match made in heaven.
I believe in the horoscope energies too. Zwai being the intellect (great mind) born of Aquarius energy. I am Pisces by the way.
