That crazy 8 'social experiment' has summarized so much about the black man's confidence. The funny thing about saving your best moves for the last minute is that when you are actually 'ready to play', the ship has already left.
Happy South African New Year!!!! 23 September 2023 was our new year!!! I hope you've had an amazing Heritage weekend. I hope you took time to revisit your lineage, eat traditional food, check up on your family, etc.
I watch a lot of podcasts, but whenever I try to give yours a chance, I find myself getting rubbed the wrong way. The way you question and address black issues comes across as condescending, patronizing, and insensitive. It seems like some things never change. You ooze such lack of sympathy its palpable.

🤔 It is in the white mans interest to keep the black man where he is. When the black man adopts the ways of the white man, the black man will forever stay where he is, which is exactly where the white man wants him to be. White people did us dirty. Black people doing other black people dirty because of the dirt of the white man. Bra Penuel it is so simple. It is easy to spread hate/competition in the townships cos we too close to our neighbors. Imagine a stack of matchsticks, light one & they all burn, that is how black communities are destabilized. We will make more progress the day we all spread out kancane, we don't need to have a "Joburg" in every province.
Grew up in joburg until 2004 moved to Cape town and just moved but to Joburg 2022 all i can say Cape Town is very divided.. N2 R300 and N1 .. these free ways Means Poor class, Middle class and high class.. as a black to Drive a Maserati or Porsche you must be nigerian.. our People are trapped to be not easily exposed to knowledge of inspiration.. you are found walking in Constantia or Knewlands you are escorted out as a black person.. it’s sad.. that Whites, Coloureds and Blacks are so very divided from each other.. Where as in Joburg it’s different..
I was listening to this podcast while doing some work and I can relate with so much that Slim was saying. Betting on yourself is the best advice I got years ago and I haven't looked back
"What's wrong with the Cape Town" ... the structural violence is deeply entrenched in Cape Town, making the barrier to entry that much harder. Sadly a lot of people choose to leave Cape Town which maintains the status quo...lack of exposure to black success is by design, it's kept far away, few in townships, working class young black professionals can mainly afford living far away from the city and I understand why they leave because everything seems like a constant struggle...that's exhausting... the ripple effect of all of these things and more make a lot wrong with Cape Town and it needs a lot of us to do the work.
What tripe about roads. Roads are built by government and the labour is black people. What does "in other African countries roads are built by black people" (direct quote) even mean? Also, 90%+ of people employed in Nigeria are employed in the informal sector. So are millions of South Africans. Why is it that person's own money in NGR but not SA under the same conditions. There are many foreign companies in those countries too. Historical settler colonialism is obviously another issue, but his earned money claim makes no sense.
“We don’t call each other out as black people” Slim is quite right there! Now how do we do that without catching feelings or deflecting. Ngoba whow it gets tricky and sensistive ukhuza umntana ongengewakho. Dear Pen! Kindly consider that as a topic that needs unpacking with guests only you can hand pick. Siyacela bhut wam. As a mentor to young people I could use more tips and I know I speak for a lot of people here. We need ukukhuzana if we are to grow. Please my brother.
I find Slim so relatable and this is one of my favorite episodes on the Penuel show. I have a question for Slim I do not know if he is able to answer this question but the question can also be for you Penuel. Gathering from the conversation confidence is something that needs to be practiced so I want to ask what are practical ways that a normal person can do on a daily basis to improve their confidence?
Hey Thato, firstly thank you for checking out the episode. I would say a good way to start working on your confidence is by working on self development, and that starts with really getting to know yourself. Maybe even write a list of things that things that affect your confidence and make it a point to work on those things and learning to embrace them. I hope this helps 🙏🏾
Man I agree , im afrikaaner , i like cape town , but will never live there , in afrikaans we have word called ingat , now thats cape town its a ingat city,
Humblest opinion...I think we should avoid making statements like "blacks never built infrastructure in south africa"... That statement is loaded with presuppositions and conotation of black identity and ability. Fact is we would build roads if the narrative puts blacks controling. We are the financialy marginalised but all infrastructure was built by black hands toiling as labourers etc.
Betting on yourself typically refers to having confidence in your abilities and making decisions or taking actions that will lead to personal success or achievement. "bet on yourself": Remember that betting on yourself is about taking control of your life and making choices that align with your aspirations. It's a mindset of self-reliance and determination to create a successful and fulfilling path for yourself.
Promoting unity among black South Africans and fostering cooperation with other African nations is vital. By focusing on collective well-being, individuals can contribute to South Africa's development without superiority notions.
that’s sooo wild. i just realised i became good at soccer because i was literally the first person at school every day and all i did was play ball.. crazy
Penuel I was watching series, Billions and they were refusing performance review. Then they took them to a casino night to trick them. The analysed the way they were playing and it gave them an idea of their approach to investing. You can really learn a lot by how people play casino
Refreshing conversation, being principled as an entrepreneur doesn't make you a bad person. Good parents for instance can be characterised as principled when giving tough love, that doesn't make them bad people/parents....my take on that part.
Die mann is really interesting, his stories and the stoic mindset is amazing to behold, I honestly feel like he could have said more One thing that makes macGs podcast good is that he lets the guest speak and doesn't impose his views on the guest... We need more guys from the cape on show.. lets have "The Threaded Man" Siya Beyile next!.
Bet On Yourself!!! The best investment you can ever make is in acquiring skills, meeting progressive people & building a great body. Whenever ppl ask me what to do with R10,000... I tell them to invest in whatever got them the R10k in the first place, and then scale it. Slim says that Adidas Yeezys was an expression of Kanye's confidence and that's what ppl are/were buying... a piece of Kanye's confidence.
@@athabilehlangu1545 Figure out how you made it, and gamble smarter so you can make more. Take that R10k and buy data to watch professional gambler videos. Use that money to go to stadiums and meet the players, etc. Invest in that craft. It made you money... make sure it makes you more money.
What do black men have? Strength, presence, style, humor, perseverance, spirituality, brotherhood, culture, pragmatism, hardworking, courage, analytical/ objective (least emotional, which has its advantages), voice/storytelling/entertainers, physically attractiveness
I can fully attest to the guest's sentiments about not being "seen" in Cape Town. I've only being living & working here for just under a year & my experience is that Cape Town is no place for black people to thrive - here a black person is not only not seen, but infantilized & one's dignity & sense of self worth is eroded on a daily basis. I have decided to leave this place & will start my life from scratch, from the bottom of the food chain in my home province, with the little sanity I have left.
Well done Bantu, not all is bad on the black community, I loved when you said black people have each other, hence the room you were in. Comments like that bring hope.
Many of us want to liberate White South Africans & other rich South Africans get out of the scarcity mindset they have. Uplifting Siya Kolisi & Lukhanyo Am doesn't mean you're disempowering a White kid... it means you can dominate the world and open more doors, for Black & White kids. Same thing with money and the economy... rich ppl need to help us, so we can help them make more money from the world.
Why do so many black people not feel included in Cape Town? Why are the majority of black people in CT struggling to move up financially like black people in places like Joburg and Durban? Is it structural? Is it just the mindset of the black people there? Is it because progressive black ppl leave CT instead of building there?
I am from Cape Town and we are theee most marginalised people ever!! Everything here is for either white or coloured because they dont regard us as part of 'their' Western Cape or cpt. I actually think about this almost everyday Penuel and it upsets me. When people think cpt they think coloured and never us, why??? This is a big topic and fitting for heritage day, it needs a whole panel with different people's experiences and cos sana its deeper than we realise.
@@godpenuel scarcity of resources and the threshold put on black people which has affected even the way black people view and value themselves. Black people are just doing their bit to get by, and when they do challenge the system they are demonised and seen as trouble makers.
@@iprofox3758 Coloured is a culture. Historically it's culturally of core Asian origin. Cape Town, a port city, was the heart of the old Cape Colony. Natives were ethnically cleansed and chased beyond the expanding Eastern frontier (became the native reserve). Labour was imported from Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) including of Chinese, Philipipino, Malay, Indian etc. extraction & other places like Madagascar & Mozambique, into the colony. The native reserve people & people from inland also became Cape Colony labour. This led to the Asian core culture & Africans in one domain and admixture. Particularly in 20th century, many Afrikaans-speaking Africans classified as Coloured for 2nd Class treatment instead of 3rd class (native) with the compulsory Population Registration Act. It was then that statistically the Coloured label became far more genetically African, though culturally still with a lot of the historically-evolved colonial hostility toward the native "enemy of the colony".
Lol, I can relate with the "crazy 8" psychological experiment. In so many events, I tend to crawl like a snake or rather eat a humble pie before I can actually show my abilities/capabilities. And I guess this is accompanied by the fear to fail in this competitive world. Yah No!
Thanks for the chat! Great insights. I only disagree with Slim's idea of relocating people from Cape Town as the sole solution for hope. My advice is to collaborate with local entrepreneurs in Cape Town, like SirVince who recently launched Therapy restaurant on Kloof Street, or Luvuyo from the Silulo Foundation. Building partnerships with existing talent can uplift the community more effectively.
I looked at the guest and Iimmediately underestimated the content of the conversation. But i gave dude 30 mins and I was hooked... A very interesting conversation, lowkey profound.
47:36 - How do we fix the collective? The answer is Family, however that looks like, a sense of umndeni rooted in community, support & ukubambisana(working together) ngothando.
Consistency Pen, it can’t be the same show that interviews Vusi Thembekwayo that also interviews Slim For the first time, I see Penuel speaking more than listening merely on the basis of the guest at hand. Slim is an entertainer and was supposed to go on the McGee podcast and not here It’s like inviting Drake on Joe Rogans podcast, you’re not an entertainer Pen, you’re an informer and a teacher Love your podcast and your content nonetheless brother 🙏🏿
Bra Pen and the team are legends bafethu!!! 👋👋👋 Exposing us black laaities to people like Slim is monumental guys!!! Cos lamajita like abo Slim kanje, we always admire them from afar without getting the chances to see where their heads are at, what's goingin in their minds, why are they so different from the typical. So we assume, assume & assume. But to hear from ababantu is great man. Thanks you guys!!!❤
O a rereša ka polelo, ke tšwa Limpopo ke nna motho wo mosweo. Ka polela tša Limpopo o ka se mpalela, ska warre Slim, ke go tšwere. Ga gona lehumo le tšwago kgauswi, kudumela fela. Kgotlelela mfanaka.
1:16:32 - Why wealth is nothing without slavery 1:22:00 - Wealth creation through self enslavement Damn man that is where this sit down hits me the most 😑 I never realized that.
I agree with Buntu, there is just something about Cape Town, almost like its in the air. Limitations you can`t really admit to because they are subtle in nature. A sort of "accepted" discomfort. Black success is only for the few, "the brave ones", high risk takers and the "YES BAAS".
10% of R10 000 is actually R1000 but we get it you digressed a bit... personally I don't think black people do not have an appetite of numbers we just like the experience and exposure to practically play with the numbers, not to get historically political or anything... Great show always enjoy watching 😊
@Pen thank you for bring Blaq Slim, hope Zee Bee might be next. Siyabonga singamaKapa tata. Thank you too Buntu for being straight mfethu. RESPECT Bafethu.
Thanks Penuel and Slim.. great conversation I agree with most of Slim’s thoughts but I don’t think we (blacks) have each other, honestly.. we unfortunately use each other as ladders
I can definitely say I made that statement out of being biased. I'm lucky enough to have been surrounded by people that help me build, and I will encourage everyone else to do the same. It won't be easy but it will be worth it, we'll get further as a unit, than alone
South Africa is a settler colony, hence, it is what it is today, it is not a coincidence that we consider ourselves different from the rest of the continent ... It is all embedded in our subconscious minds.
Cape Town's social, economic & spatial architecture. It's the heart of an old established colony, with a "filled" establishment. Its entire history was ethnic cleansing, keeping natives who were not willing to be subservient labour or political troublemakers beyond the frontier in the native reserve in the East., while also drawing its continual labour from that reserve for centuries. Black life in CPT feels unsettled. And among people of colour, the highest concentration of Asian colonial population being a good chunk of it, in an old port city, created a culture often with a similar hostility towards the natives as the white colonial population. Once you get to one side of the mountain its very tourist-defined with pricing for foreign expats, European retirees etc. All of this creates a economic landscape that feels relatively developed but somewhat "closed-off" in dynamic opportunity to most Blacks & Coloureds.
I wanna see more of my Xhosa cpt niggas please! i almost teared when i was watching this izolo. We dont see a lot of our folks make it out of these cpt trenches, if you dont have a mental strength in Cape Town, this city will bury you alive and your dreams.
One of the best episodes for me personally. So many takeouts and things I need to work on. It’s literally all in the mind hey. That’s all we need to realise
@@godpenuel Firstly I would hv highlighted the fact of gatekeeping, in cape town white people are actually doing the gate keeping themselves unlike in Durban where u have the Indians who are the gatekeepers of the economy or the money flow, and continue by saying cape town is still very big on oppression even worse the white dominated party which is the DA is the one in power there so it is as if they just want only a white men to prosper and they don’t give a damn about any other race down there.....

I agree with Buntu, there is just something about Cape Town, almost like its in the air. Limitations you can`t really admit to because they are subtle in nature. A sort of "accepted" discomfort. Black success is only for the few, "the brave ones", high risk takers and the "YES BAAS".
Word is bond bafowetu 💧🙏🥋🔦
Thanks for this content grootman....
I'm in cape Town right now since last year September. I have seen that cape Town is a dead zone for black south Africans
It's the Financial Literacy lessons for me💯
The guy is brilliant
Thank you so much 🙏🏾❤️
1st time hearing of this homie
This brother looks like Arthur Mafukate 🙂
Yeses . Lots of bombs being dropped here . The last 10 minutes are straight from WW2 .
Thank you 🙏🏾
Kanye West should come to the penual show
10% of R10 000 is actually R1000 but we get it you digressed a bit... personally I don't think black people do not have an appetite of numbers we just like the experience and exposure to practically play with the numbers, not to get historically political or anything... Great show always enjoy watching 😊
the face Pen made looking at Buntu the time Buntu says "Andizi", eaning he wants no Kids. that was a Parent Look. I just Remembered my Mama's face.
Lol that part absolutely killed me 😂
@Pen thank you for bring Blaq Slim, hope Zee Bee might be next. Siyabonga singamaKapa tata. Thank you too Buntu for being straight mfethu. RESPECT Bafethu.
Zee Bee, that's my brother right there. Thank you for taking the time to watch the episode 🙏🏾
Thanks Penuel and Slim.. great conversation
I agree with most of Slim’s thoughts but I don’t think we (blacks) have each other, honestly.. we unfortunately use each other as ladders
I can definitely say I made that statement out of being biased. I'm lucky enough to have been surrounded by people that help me build, and I will encourage everyone else to do the same. It won't be easy but it will be worth it, we'll get further as a unit, than alone
This dude looks like Ather Mafokate when he smiles. Just my observation 😎😀
The crazy 8 analogy is soo scary true! I've played it with a white person and that's exactly how they play. lol
It's the craziest thing ever, but now that we aware, we can change that mindset
They are many slaves in africa. If u want to develop your nation, in africa. U know where the slaves are.
got me at CRAZY EIGHT... AWESOME EPISODE AS USUAL......ZARATHUSTRA Pen
South Africa is a settler colony, hence, it is what it is today, it is not a coincidence that we consider ourselves different from the rest of the continent ... It is all embedded in our subconscious minds.
Panuel can you invite rutendo and asking about Zimbabwean election.
Dope content.
Loving this conversation....crazy 8 shit is so true....Penuel does it again
wish you could have this conversation with DJ Fresh, ask him the very same questions
WHATS GOING ON IN CAPE TOWN???????? WE NEED ENGAGE THIS AS A BLACK NATION!!!
Cape Town's social, economic & spatial architecture.
It's the heart of an old established colony, with a "filled" establishment.
Its entire history was ethnic cleansing, keeping natives who were not willing to be subservient labour or political troublemakers beyond the frontier in the native reserve in the East., while also drawing its continual labour from that reserve for centuries.
Black life in CPT feels unsettled.
And among people of colour, the highest concentration of Asian colonial population being a good chunk of it, in an old port city, created a culture often with a similar hostility towards the natives as the white colonial population.
Once you get to one side of the mountain its very tourist-defined with pricing for foreign expats, European retirees etc.
All of this creates a economic landscape that feels relatively developed but somewhat "closed-off" in dynamic opportunity to most Blacks & Coloureds.
looks like Arthur Mafokate 👃🏾
Great 👍 content Kingpen, my Penuelist God...
Pen thank you for this one, Confidence and being a D*&% at the beginning
Great conversation 👑
I wanna see more of my Xhosa cpt niggas please! i almost teared when i was watching this izolo. We dont see a lot of our folks make it out of these cpt trenches, if you dont have a mental strength in Cape Town, this city will bury you alive and your dreams.
Why do you use the nword? it is a ugly word
One of the best episodes for me personally. So many takeouts and things I need to work on. It’s literally all in the mind hey. That’s all we need to realise
Thank you so much 🙏🏾
Sbonge 🙌🏾
Ahh the first Question u asked him he failed it, he just wanted to be politically correct😢
How would YOU answer it?
@@godpenuel Firstly I would hv highlighted the fact of gatekeeping, in cape town white people are actually doing the gate keeping themselves unlike in Durban where u have the Indians who are the gatekeepers of the economy or the money flow, and continue by saying cape town is still very big on oppression even worse the white dominated party which is the DA is the one in power there so it is as if they just want only a white men to prosper and they don’t give a damn about any other race down there.....
