This video shows me a young black man and a young white man sitting opposite each other and talking about our country's problems a manifestation of what a beautiful country this can be with this kind of talent.
I guess it's something we haven't had enough of in our country. The willingness to sit together and have an open, respectful dialogue and learn from each other. It's good to see!
As an older man, I looked at these two young men discussing a wide spectrum of topics with such mutual respect for each other and it warms my old heart. I watched and listened to the future and hope of this wonderful country of ours, our young people. Mooi so manne, julle maak ons trots.
This comment touched me for obvious reasons. As a young black person, I grew up with friends (whites)and we loved each dearly till this day, with some that are still very close to me to a point where we know each others entire families. The issue here are some elders if not most, from black and white, that are still filled with hatred from the past, causing hindrance and delaying progress.
I like how Pen has developed over time in his craft; he is not argumentative but seeks to hear the other side and manages to get the deep convictions of people almost seamlessly. This a great ability that we need coz we get to know people's real nature and views. Great interview and the young Afrikaner brother has represented himself well and has put Afrikaans and Afrikaners in a clearer light.
I believe that black people in South Africa should learn from AfriForum about the importance of unity and perseverance in the face of adversity. While I do not necessarily agree with all of the viewpoints and actions of AfriForum, their dedication to fighting for the rights and interests of their community can be a valuable lesson for all marginalized groups. Black South Africans should also seek to advocate for themselves and demand equal treatment, just as AfriForum seeks to preserve the interests of white South Africans. Dialogue and understanding across different communities can help to foster a more just and equitable society for all.
They are already printing t-shirts with their picture to distribute to the foolish voters. They sing freedom songs and give food parcels too. It's time to WAKE UP.
How refreshing to hear two young South Africans from different backgrounds cordially discussing history and our current issues to try and undestand each other instead of blaming or shouting at each other. Well done Pennuel for reaching out to Ernst and lending him your ear. Mutual respect for our differences and celebration of what we have in common is the way forward.
The best interview yet, Ernest van Zyl is a well read guy. He's well informed historically, politically, economically and religiously! Leadership right there...
Cannot express what a truly heart warming experience this was. The youth of this country will lead the way and show those who couldn't move forward how to do it. Well done guys! Loved listening
Thank you for the great opportunity, Penuel. Like I said, so many people today have unfortunately lost the ability to listen to anyone who does not 100% agree with them. Many have also lost the ability to listen entirely. "This person is wrong because they are white, black, Afrikaner or Zulu"-reasoning is not going to cut it. It's just a desperate excuse to avoid engaging arguments and ideas you can't refute. Let's disagree, but at least robustly engage my arguments, and I will grant you the same treatment. Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed this discussion, as well as the one we had on my TH-cam channel. Mooi loop. - Ernst
One thing that a sane black South African cannot deny today is that the Afrikaaners are a one hard working group of people 💯 They can come for me with all sorts of names, but I said what I said and didn't stutter...I used to hate too, but today I have nothing but RESPECT, especially for your work ethic and discipline 🤝🏾
If your a South African and you’re watching this and you vote for the ANC or were planning or are still planning on Voting for the ANC you’re part of the problem
@@zakhemabaso6644 no party is perfect but when you look at what the DA have done in Cape Town and also the measures they taking to go off the grid it’s far more than what the ANC is doing, I currently live in the West Rand and late last year a DA mayor was appointed and service delivery in the area and surrounding areas improved significantly, pot holes were closed very quickly and vacant municipality positions were finally advertised for the internal employees who had been under contract for years while the ANC was in power all that happened after the DA came in now the ANC guys managed to vote him out and already you see service delivery slowing down, doesn’t matter what party you choose to vote for but the goal as a collective for South Africans should be to at least take the ANC out of power then you can decide who else you vote for even if it’s not the DA
They, the White folk hold South Africa hostage. Afriforum is a White Supremacists Western entity. Its foreign funded and has Western military bases in Africa. South Africa wise up.
@@sibumbambo3041 again, ANC is the worst, like i said there’s no perfect party but the ANC is just pathetic , South Africans should at least make sure the ANC doesn’t stay in power
What an inspiring interview. We need start our own Organizations like Afriforum and build our own communities and stop wait for a government that not working for us.
Penuel, no need for me to say, you already know this, but you are on another level brother. I have witnessed your growth since the start and you are becoming a master podcaster. Thanks for your open mind and willingness to hear perspectives from different backgrounds. Discussions like these give me hope for the future. Wish you could broadcast these discussions instead of the 7 PM news on SABC and Kyknet. Dankie meneer Penuel. Groete.
Wow! What a pleasure it was to listen to you two young men.....SO proud of both of you... This is wat S.A.needs, taking hands and inspire and motivate our young generation.
Finally, SA has a Joe Rogan! Thanks, Penuel for the unbias interviewing and insightfull comments of how your community may see some issue in contrast to my community.
To hear this guy speak so passionately about the mission and purpose of the Afrikaners makes me ashamed to be a black guy without a vision and mission for being black that I am passionate about. My mind is boggled and I am challenged to study what the Afrikaners are doing so I can replicate the success in my small area.
It doesn't have to be specifically about your "culture". I am an Afrikaner by birth but I think South Africa is moving into a different direction.

Self respect. This young man has said it so many times. And this is the CORE of the issues in South Africa. The majority have no self respect, therefore no respect for their environment or surroundings. Excellent discussion. Gives hope for the future when two young men can sit down and speak together like this.
By far this was one of the best conversations I’ve listened to this year. Thank you ta Panuel grootman ndiyaythanda indlela ocinga ngayo nangona ngamanye amaxesha ndikhe ndingavumelani nawe kodwa emaxeshen amaninzi uthetha izinto ezikhuthazayo nezinikisa umdla enkosi yhlo. Ithemba lisekhona lokuba umzants Afrika uyawze ulunge ngenye emini kodwa kusafuneka kusetyenzwe straight. The reason I respect Afrikaaners is because they are very patriotic hard workers, as a black people we really need to work on that.
I am humbled and inspired by this conversation. The conversation between Penuel and Ernst shifted some of my own preconceptions about Afriforum. It also gave me a spark of hope in this dark time. Thank you
Excellent interview and a well spoken young man with wide insight in many respects and facets about geo politics and economics. It all boils down to one thing: The greed for money is the root of all evil.
Penuel The Black Pen Mlotshwa And Ernst Van Zyl Oh What An Educational , Excellent Exciting , Great , Good , Inspirational , Lectural And Motivational Topic. Thank You Very Much.
Another BEST conversation I really enjoyed listening to. Thank you Ernst Van Zyl for the amazing work you do, and for giving me a different perspective of AfriForum. Thank you Penuel for always breaking boundaries so we can talk and understand each other. God Bless you gents!
And you know through your podcast, I am very optimistic about South Africa honestly. These conversations lead to a great movement that will resurrect South Africa.
Penuel this is the most educative chat you have done. This guy really nailed the language issue and opened the eyes of many. I have an issue with black Zulu/Xhosa/Venda/Swazi kids speaking English amongst themselves. Our children have become ambassadors of the British empire unawares! Blacks need to return to learn in their indigenous languages. The Chinese, Russians, French, Arab, and others have the best trained autronauts and space engineers trained in the home language for a reason. You learn better and faster in your mother tongue than a foreign language and you become confident too. They even insist on addressing the UNGA in their mother language unlike African leaders. Why have we been so foolish?
I am further fascinated by how we default to English when speaking to other non-South African people without even attempting to know what language they can speak!!
@Sabelo Mlambo very true, but as well as the black ones? Amazing how our languages are so similar but we look past that. The annoying part is we not even that good in English.
Regardless, English shall remain because it is INTERNATIONAL. No use in teaching Afrikaans to native African speakers. Rather teach them to use their own language as medium of instruction and advance tech with. Afrikaans isn't cut it over literally any other stronger language: English, French (2 languages I know) and German or Portuguese. Afrikaans just sad that no one takes them seriously while they tried to colonize us. 🙄
What a great interview. Thank you. As an English speaking Afrikaans heritage, I appreciate Agri forum. Most of SA don't know the history of the Afrikaans culture.
The point about learning about the world in your home language hit deep. Even my thoughts are mostly not in my home language. And its already trickling down to my daughter as shes struggling to speak our home language but relies on English to complete sentences. Another great interview thanks to Penuel. And thanks to Ernst for enlighting us with great knowledge.
Ernst is a very intelligent man , I mean I'm not trying to join Afri-FO , but I recognise a level headed person who is also aware of the historical implications that caused this generational instability
Does he talk about the implications in this interview? I have'nt listened yet but all i see is praises for him and Penuel in the comments and I find that odd.
We South Africans are very quick to hate someone because they differ from our views. Especially those keyboard warriors. They are scarcely a positive influence but are the first to leave negative comments. We won’t move forward while always looking backwards. We must focus on whats wrong and the solutions to the problems in a way that benefits everyone. But hate always gets in the way
Great chat... just as a note I got attacked by robbers in my home in Johannesburg. I called the police and my security company and the first entity to show up at my house was Afriforum🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ honestly it opened my eyes to the kind of work they do. Keep it up.
The fact that you were attacked in the first place is horrible, I hope things turned out as well as one could hope in those circumstances. It almost sounds foolish to say this - but I hope we can have a country a few decades from now where these violent circumstances are a thing of the past
Wow, my brother from another mother I'm proud to be an African. I like the freedom you allow your guests to articulate. We 🇿🇦 are really a significant people. If only we can be united in our visions and African beliefs without fear or favour; what a magnificent country this will be?
The part where Penual talks about how the 1976 scholars fought to abolish Afrikaans and speak and learn in English instead of their native languages was powerful, that was deep.
Background: With universal white suffrage in the British colony, the Boer could, through majority among whites in elections, construct an Afrikaans "Leitkultur" to define SA from the 1930s on. The Boers stole the Anglo colonial racial model for their own purposes and renamed it Apartheid. (i.e. used it to engineer a Dutch civilization at the Southern tip of Africa, instead of an Anglo/Afro-Saxon one) The minority buffer class of Asian & mixed "colonially-cooperative people of colour" (Coloureds) had been largely core English in the British Cape colony post 1795, but with the 20th century Boer control, Afrikaans Leitkultur was reinforced. Half a century on, this process among the Coloureds was largely completed. The government then decided to pull the trigger on turning the Natives into "Coloureds", by making all education Afrikaans, which would have taken the natives out of the Anglo cultural Commonwealth within a generation. The British couldn't let this happen. The year was 1976.
@@francoiswilliams Nice try. Drop the victim mentality. Africans are not victims of the British. They put Afrikaaners in concentration camps, not black Africans, that's your battle, not ours. I won't side with Boers over Brits and America, they are international and if I want a job overseas, I shall learn ENGLISH.
We have been fooled by the West. We've wasted 29 years trying to be integrated with people who don't love us. This just proves that nobody can legislate love. It's time we all went our separate ways.
But guys... This white fellow is way too smart... So White Afrikaans had been in concentration camp... I didn't know, but they fought hard to stay affloat economically and culturally... May be Zulus, Tswanas and other tribes should take a leaf from Afrikaans on how to develop their languages... I vowed to never learn this language coz of the history but I must say I like how determined and dedicated this tribe is...
Great interview, with every guest the podcast elevates to a different level, little bit disappointed that Penuel didn't put some more uncomfortable questions into the mix because am sure Ernst would have taken them like a champ. Great stuff!
I took some time to watch this episode and finally it's quite inspirational though lots of things to learn keep up the good work Pen aka The God 😎✊✊🇿🇦🇿🇦 Gqebera Gqebera Gqebera
Black culture stifles accountability. One cannot even question their parents or their older siblings hence the "yes Zuma is corrupt but he is old leave him alone" Its a cultural thing.
Think it's an even maturer mind which can listen, access and determine and then accept and change ones mind if found to be true and better than its immediate and then change for the better. That is indeed a mature mind.
So interesting to listen to EVZ's perspective on things. Amazing interview. Thanks Pen. You platform is amazing. You are opening our eyes to so many ways of interpreting and living in the world.
The only positive thing i learnt from Afri forum is that when you do things together,you will succeed.Our black stovels can succeed if they put their money to god use
Ernst is a very brilliant gentleman and only makes me respect Afrikaans people even more. Their history and what they have achieved in relatively a short period of time is amazing we as black people across Africa have alot to learn from them
Oh really? Then maybe we should have our own apartheid where only us get land, education and opportunity then we wonder why everyone else is struggling all around us
@@Azikhale_ sometimes try looking at the world from a higher consciousness point of view. Afrikaans people were marginalized by the British and hated the world over, the Arabs,Chinese and parts of Europe were also colonized but why is it that only the black is the only one still complaining and wallowing in poverty while his own leaders steal resources only to hide them in western banks. Do you actually realize that apartheid was over 30years ago. And in these 30years tell us what the ANC has done for you?
@@theafricanarchitectsoasis All those formerly colonised nations you mention have all their land back in their full control. That's actually the ANCs biggest failure. It was through apartheid that afrikaners got to own of the farms and vast lands to today. So long as it is like that apartheid is still relevant because that was its foundation and it still stands 30 years later
@@Azikhale_ do you know what's amazing, the Transkei has never been touched and has always been independent. Why is it that it hasn't developed or changed in any meaningful way? 🤔
@@seanprinsen7265 Don't say it's was never touched it was only declared a bantu independent state by the Afrikaners in 1962 on their own terms and certainly without the bantus best interest at heart. It was just another insult to blacks who had been already dispossessed then pushed to that corner. It was also an attempt to convince the world that the apartheid policies were "fair" to all when clearly they were only meant to set up whites economically and they succeeded
Damn, I've never had such fun in the live comment section. Such a great conversation amongst the viewers, I surely wont be missing any premiers anytime soon.. Its refreshing to find a live chat were people aren't just trying to be funny but are willing to persuade each other through dialogue
Why do I find it so traumatising that you are a member of Afriforum and give them a platform? A young intelligent black man? Even independent and solitary activism. I'm shook...

I guess it's something we haven't had enough of in our country. The willingness to sit together and have an open, respectful dialogue and learn from each other. It's good to see!

Great interview and the young Afrikaner brother has represented himself well and has put Afrikaans and Afrikaners in a clearer light.
This interview just made me realize the only way forward for our country. Together.

Black South Africans should also seek to advocate for themselves and demand equal treatment, just as AfriForum seeks to preserve the interests of white South Africans. Dialogue and understanding across different communities can help to foster a more just and equitable society for all.
Hit me hard when he said that Political leaders don't even use public health care let alone security. Why are we still voting for these people?
They are already printing t-shirts with their picture to distribute to the foolish voters. They sing freedom songs and give food parcels too. It's time to WAKE UP.
So painfully true indeed. They also send their kids to private schools and also move out to live in gated communicaties. They are all hypocrites!!
It’s a sad reality. No political party is perfect, but it’s time to give someone else a chance.

Afrikaans isn't cut it over literally any other stronger language: English, French (2 languages I know) and German or Portuguese. Afrikaans just sad that no one takes them seriously while they tried to colonize us. 🙄

"woe is me" bull. They just want to Colonize black South Africans again.

One thing I like about Pen is how he is willing to talk to all sides
I only found this discussion today , hats off to the two of you . Great forward thinking open and frank discussion
watching this conversation on the 16th of December. cheers for making this happen guys
Brilliant interview. Highest respect for both these gentlemen
What an eye opening interview. Thank you
Very Powerful Interview! We will surely look back at this moment in the future as the turning of History.
What a great interview. Thank you. As an English speaking Afrikaans heritage, I appreciate Agri forum. Most of SA don't know the history of the Afrikaans culture.
It started in 1652's. And we know where it started.
@@siohonelson9078 And?
This is the " Paradigm shift " kind of conversation. Big up to you Penuel for your consistency
The point about learning about the world in your home language hit deep. Even my thoughts are mostly not in my home language. And its already trickling down to my daughter as shes struggling to speak our home language but relies on English to complete sentences.
Another great interview thanks to Penuel. And thanks to Ernst for enlighting us with great knowledge.
That's your own fault.
I once saw a video of a lady living in the UK with her son, they spoke Zulu. It's your fault your daughter is like that
Ernst is a very intelligent man , I mean I'm not trying to join Afri-FO , but I recognise a level headed person who is also aware of the historical implications that caused this generational instability
Does he talk about the implications in this interview? I have'nt listened yet but all i see is praises for him and Penuel in the comments and I find that odd.
What ‘historical implications’ exactly?
Thank you today after this interview I am looking at the current Afrikaans people with a better purspective...
Incredibly well spoken and well informed… good on you Ernst 👊🏻👊🏻👏🏻👏🏻
One of the best discussions I've listened to in a very long time!
We South Africans are very quick to hate someone because they differ from our views. Especially those keyboard warriors. They are scarcely a positive influence but are the first to leave negative comments. We won’t move forward while always looking backwards. We must focus on whats wrong and the solutions to the problems in a way that benefits everyone. But hate always gets in the way
Great chat... just as a note I got attacked by robbers in my home in Johannesburg. I called the police and my security company and the first entity to show up at my house was Afriforum🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ honestly it opened my eyes to the kind of work they do. Keep it up.
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
The fact that you were attacked in the first place is horrible, I hope things turned out as well as one could hope in those circumstances.
It almost sounds foolish to say this - but I hope we can have a country a few decades from now where these violent circumstances are a thing of the past
Congratulations Penuel.
You must be one of the , if not the best interviewers in South Africa
( I am a white Boer )
One of the most frank ,friendly and honest discussions I have heard. Thank you
Congrats Penuel you ar a Community Builder of our Nation.
Wow, my brother from another mother I'm proud to be an African. I like the freedom you allow your guests to articulate. We 🇿🇦 are really a significant people. If only we can be united in our visions and African beliefs without fear or favour; what a magnificent country this will be?
The content here is nothing short of incredible value. Not what we’re being fed into the mainstream media.
This interview was brilliant. Baby steps. Division isn't going to better this country.
I have learned a lot about the Afrikaners from this podcast
The part where Penual talks about how the 1976 scholars fought to abolish Afrikaans and speak and learn in English instead of their native languages was powerful, that was deep.
The English people suppressed all of us Africa people 😆😆
@@francoiswilliams The British Parasite Empire, is Still the Enemy of All South Africans.
Background:
With universal white suffrage in the British colony, the Boer could, through majority among whites in elections, construct an Afrikaans "Leitkultur" to define SA from the 1930s on.
The Boers stole the Anglo colonial racial model for their own purposes and renamed it Apartheid.
(i.e. used it to engineer a Dutch civilization at the Southern tip of Africa, instead of an Anglo/Afro-Saxon one)
The minority buffer class of Asian & mixed "colonially-cooperative people of colour" (Coloureds) had been largely core English in the British Cape colony post 1795, but with the 20th century Boer control, Afrikaans Leitkultur was reinforced.
Half a century on, this process among the Coloureds was largely completed.
The government then decided to pull the trigger on turning the Natives into "Coloureds", by making all education Afrikaans, which would have taken the natives out of the Anglo cultural Commonwealth within a generation.
The British couldn't let this happen.
The year was 1976.
@@francoiswilliams Nice try. Drop the victim mentality. Africans are not victims of the British. They put Afrikaaners in concentration camps, not black Africans, that's your battle, not ours. I won't side with Boers over Brits and America, they are international and if I want a job overseas, I shall learn ENGLISH.
We have been fooled by the West. We've wasted 29 years trying to be integrated with people who don't love us. This just proves that nobody can legislate love. It's time we all went our separate ways.
Ernest Van Zyl is leadership 🙌🏾
This is an awesome inspiring interview both ways. Thank you gentlemen
Well Spoken young men I really enjoyed watching your interaction, it was respectful, non biased and thought provoking 🙌
Best interview on the national problem, hands down.
The most interesting podcast I've ever listened to. Well done my fellow South Africans
Thanks Penuel for the interesting show. Ernst has changed my perspective on a lot of things. Keep on doing the good work
But guys... This white fellow is way too smart... So White Afrikaans had been in concentration camp... I didn't know, but they fought hard to stay affloat economically and culturally... May be Zulus, Tswanas and other tribes should take a leaf from Afrikaans on how to develop their languages... I vowed to never learn this language coz of the history but I must say I like how determined and dedicated this tribe is...
Thank you Sir for an amazing and in sightful program.
Brilliant podcast! Such forthright insights, and also a brilliant sharing of culture.
Great interview, with every guest the podcast elevates to a different level, little bit disappointed that Penuel didn't put some more uncomfortable questions into the mix because am sure Ernst would have taken them like a champ. Great stuff!
I love you for that comment
Very good conversation I hope all South Africans listen to what these two lovely people are takeing about. TAKE NOTE.
I took some time to watch this episode and finally it's quite inspirational though lots of things to learn keep up the good work Pen aka The God 😎✊✊🇿🇦🇿🇦 Gqebera Gqebera Gqebera
Thank you for being so much of your real self Penuel . Stay up brother. Take care and keep digging man , you're winning ❤
Black culture stifles accountability. One cannot even question their parents or their older siblings hence the "yes Zuma is corrupt but he is old leave him alone" Its a cultural thing.
You are delusional. Whites never arrest each other. National Party beneficiaries are still holding on to criminal loot..
You are really delusional.
"A mature mind is someone who can entertain an idea without accepting it"
"it is the mark of an educated mind to entertain an idea and not accept it"_Aristotle
Think it's an even maturer mind which can listen, access and determine and then accept and change ones mind if found to be true and better than its immediate and then change for the better. That is indeed a mature mind.
I like the conversational style of your interviews. Beautiful!
So interesting to listen to EVZ's perspective on things. Amazing interview. Thanks Pen. You platform is amazing. You are opening our eyes to so many ways of interpreting and living in the world.
Seeing the future of Our Beloved Country by witnessing this talk.
Deep Gratitude.
Great conversation we need more of these. Dankie Penuel
The only positive thing i learnt from Afri forum is that when you do things together,you will succeed.Our black stovels can succeed if they put their money to god use
Wow! This is true. Stovels are powerful.
More young men and woman like these two people will make south africa a fantastic beautiful futuristic country. Keep going guys,well done.
Still maintaining saying it Legend. I RESPECT you Mr Penuel. We need more leaders and speakers to. Truth
Ernst is a very brilliant gentleman and only makes me respect Afrikaans people even more. Their history and what they have achieved in relatively a short period of time is amazing we as black people across Africa have alot to learn from them
Oh really? Then maybe we should have our own apartheid where only us get land, education and opportunity then we wonder why everyone else is struggling all around us
@@Azikhale_ sometimes try looking at the world from a higher consciousness point of view. Afrikaans people were marginalized by the British and hated the world over, the Arabs,Chinese and parts of Europe were also colonized but why is it that only the black is the only one still complaining and wallowing in poverty while his own leaders steal resources only to hide them in western banks. Do you actually realize that apartheid was over 30years ago. And in these 30years tell us what the ANC has done for you?
@@theafricanarchitectsoasis All those formerly colonised nations you mention have all their land back in their full control. That's actually the ANCs biggest failure. It was through apartheid that afrikaners got to own of the farms and vast lands to today. So long as it is like that apartheid is still relevant because that was its foundation and it still stands 30 years later
@@Azikhale_ do you know what's amazing, the Transkei has never been touched and has always been independent. Why is it that it hasn't developed or changed in any meaningful way? 🤔
@@seanprinsen7265 Don't say it's was never touched it was only declared a bantu independent state by the Afrikaners in 1962 on their own terms and certainly without the bantus best interest at heart. It was just another insult to blacks who had been already dispossessed then pushed to that corner. It was also an attempt to convince the world that the apartheid policies were "fair" to all when clearly they were only meant to set up whites economically and they succeeded
Damn, I've never had such fun in the live comment section. Such a great conversation amongst the viewers, I surely wont be missing any premiers anytime soon..
Its refreshing to find a live chat were people aren't just trying to be funny but are willing to persuade each other through dialogue
Happy Monday to you all. I hope you had a great weekend. Looking forward to reading the comments, especially the ones who don't agree or are angry.
😂
this was such a kak interview...it was more of a public relations platform to allow Ernst an opportunity to express his bias.
@@phatsimomatlapengholdings8340 explain which parts u have problems with exactly?
Why do I find it so traumatising that you are a member of Afriforum and give them a platform? A young intelligent black man? Even independent and solitary activism. I'm shook...
@@phatsimomatlapengholdings8340 So he's not allowed? You're a racist dude, plz go Kak ..
A great discussion, thank you Penuel and Ernst.
