Bra David Mashabela, you deserve one of the six of the South African National Orders. Your documenting of South African history and heroes is a national service which we need. May God bless, and keep you for us.
No Bombastic words, no english idioms. Simple and Understandable sekgoa that can be understood by the young and old. Two intellects, who are trailblazers in their respective professions. King David Mashabela and Ntate Professor Mokgokong Thank You very much.
This man qualified as a Gynecologist in 1967...he was my Chancellor at Medunsa...My heart melts with enormous respect whenever i see the Prof...Condolences to him for losing his Son Prof Sam Mokgokong(First black neurosurgeon in Africa)
South Africa has lost an icon of the medical fraternity who is the first Neurosurgeon of African descent in South Africa. Professor Mokgokong’s accolades count among others, being co-lead of a 50-member team for a successful 18-hour operation to separate conjoined twins Mpho and Mphonyana who were joined at the head. Prof. Sam Mokgokong embodied selflessness, forsaking the trappings of private medical practice to instead serve in the interest of society by imparting his knowledge and skills with academia both locally and abroad to enhance the development of neuroscience for the benefit of all. South Africa and the Mokgokong family have lost a giant and pillar of society.
@@tshepotau5754 yes...the late Prof Sam Mochichi Mokgokong(neurosurgeon) was his son...Dr.Ben Carson(The Famous American Neurosurgeon) was part of that team as well...Sam had gone to USA to recruit him to be part of that operation...Ben Carson talks about it in his Book(Gifted hands or the bigger picture) not sure which one between the 2 books..
He is my mother’s youngest brother. There were 7 siblings, 5 of them have passed on. My mother’s maiden name was Prisca Mokgokong. Dr. Samuel Lekgetha Mokgokong was my mother’s firstborn. He was adopted by Uncle Eph. I was in South Africa for my brother’s funeral in February. We were all heartbroken, but Uncle Eph took his passing particularly hard. Love you, Uncle Eph ❤.
These kinds of interviews are essential to our future for us and our kids. These are the stories that our History teachers should be teaching our children, not about Winston Churchill and World War 11. Thank you, David, for taking it upon yourself to document these stories; they help us understand our history.
Knowledge is not selective and so should be the history that your children need to learn ... racism should not cloud your thinking ... learning about Churchill is equally enriching even to your children too.
Academics watch on when mkhukhu's and drunkenness and drugs take over.....forgetting that these lifestyles will return to bite everyone .... educated or not. And the BEds and BAs and BAdmins are not useless.... they infact are essential factors when formulating education and formulating human settlements and land use..... but these processes are disturbed by "politicians" who continue to pride themselves in anc membership as the interviewee seems to come about. After all these years such people look back in regret .... but forgetting that they themselves never looked ahead during their journey of professionalism .... eg even watching on as politicians would send S African students to cuba for inferior medical degrees instead of developing local universities to offer qualifications that would not be found to be useless as alleged in this interview ... honestly instead of "first black so and so blah blah .." move it on ...
This one of the best doctors in SA, he is a rarity (cares for his patients). I was misdiagnosed through medical negligence related to lack of interest or care but Prof helped treat me, thank God for Prof! I am sad to say the prospects of the medical fraternity is disturbing with focus more on income than upholding the Hippocratic oath.
The people of Ga-Rankuwa and surrounding areas are immensely grateful to the Mokgokong's, the Marivate's , Doctor Soundy and all the others who have and continue to heal us. I know our institutions are burdened by various challenges but the contribution of George Mukhari Academic Hospital and the SMU dental unit to South Africans and dare I say fellow Africans' healthcare is greatly appreciated. Re a leboga.
Most humble human being and Dr, 1 of the few who treat people with kindness. So full of wisdom, had an opportunity to work indirectly with him at mediclinic Legae years back. What an honor.....
The grandpa is 100% correct. Every year our produces 100s of BEd and BA graduates who end up being jobless coz the economy needs certain qualifications for employment and economic growths. There was no other black SAn engineering graduate when i went for my unisa graduation in May in Cape Town, except me. But there are over 2 million black SAns in the western cape. To this day, im still haunted by that.
The economy runs alongside society. The quality of social life says a lot about the state of the country - no amount of STEM focus will resolve the social issues.
I absolutely appreciate King David's sence of politeness/ his incredible child- like nature, very humbling. You've done it again...🤝, thank you for this interview
@@thembanimgenu190 More disgraceful than your sitting president who hides undeclared foreign currency in his sodas and mattresses? If you gonna talk about disgraceful people than your militancy should not be selective.....The entire ANC politicians are corrupt but i get pissed off when people like you want to pick and choose as to who should be labelled "disgraceful"...
Thank you King David for documenting once again another great South African. These great South african stories will be admired by many generations to come ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for his interview. The Best gynecologist ever. His expertise, care, and dedication are truly remarkable, and it's inspiring. He even prayed for you as his patient. This highlighted how special he was. When I was pregnant at 37, I asked him to do an embryonic test and he refused, saying he could not interfere with something God has created. My Son is 20 and an IT technician now. Profs faith, expertise and dedication is truly inspiring. ❤❤
We were really fortunate to have studied at MEDUNSA. My father even knew the admin office. He preferred fetching my results himself. And today, I remember him and beam with pride.
Look King David is absolutely, incredibly intelligent 😂😅he can interview anyone of any profession and apply himself because even his questions are evident that he applies himself and has an indepth understanding of each topic and matter 👏 👏 kudus Tata
This man helped me and wife have a my second born son... The procedure he did worked very well. I remember after the procedure he told me not to "touch" this young lady (my wife), until after she gives birth and after he allows me😅. I am very grateful for having met him🙏🏾
He said research and it changed my perspective. What an honor, to have listened such an amazing highly respected man of God. Very beautiful. Thank you so much
It is heartwarming to see Prof, and to see his former students on the comment section. Thank you King Dave, these are precious and it's what young people should look at for learning.
Prof Mokgokong is raising a very crucial point about implementing NHI in Mzanzi,without establishing what causes public institution's services poor. Can we go back to basics and get where we lost it.
Yes, a lot of students study BA psychology. But that sector is over saturated. It is so difficult to get a job in that sector. So after so much money, people end up with useless degrees. Maybe it would have been better if the technical colleges were still properly run. Then, some can still qualify as plumbers, etc. Can you believe SA has a shortage of plumbers? Even New Zealand is headhunting for plumbers in SA. The ANC government neglected the technical colleges.
Another problem SAn's have is that they are conditioned to be job seekers, not to have an entrepreneurial mindset. Imagine you had a sought-after tech skill and business mindset- how fast could we not progress?
Those technical colleges are there but people like universities so much. I had an advertisement for an online university opportunity offering fully paid tech degrees and people woukd accept them because they just want to be at the " university ".
It's the mindset of communism ..... where no one should be any better .... that's why it was recently suggested by dept of education that pupils in South Africa could leave school at grade five and be certificated to enter the job market (according to your anc) ... go the epwp way proudly picking pieces of litter in orange overalls while masters are riding around in landrover defenders and reckless blue lit bmw's hurrying nowhere .... dining in the restaurants whose owners they make you think are devils .... wearing imported suits and costumes while the chinese feed you free t-shirts and caps which you could make yourself ... communism manipulates you ... all important is for the poor to carry on breeding to ensure future votes while the masters exercise birth control within their families .... and send their children abroad for those university degrees which you condemn ..... see how they never miss any event at moria ... because it's where they exert influence .... even smaller churches generally follow blindly .... conducting elections within the clergy .... every five years to align with "govement" so to say...
My mother is a product of the Mokgokong wave, she speaks so highly of him and the rest of the professors there. The wave continues today as I am also pursuing Medicine, however in Russia !
This is so beautiful!! Please get us more interviews of people who were there when there was no coverage, not much media...people who were there when things started to change for the good and the bad. Brilliant episode!
@@anelekutwana7408..That's what i used to ask myself when i first went to Varsity and all the kids were being dropped off by their parents and there i was getting off a taxi in Garankuwa(Medunsa) from KZN,few days later i was queing up for NSFAS...I hated my parents whom i felt were losers at that time,i despised them. Few years into varsity after serious financial hardships,i told myself i would be the last person in my family to experience poverty,i decided to be the one who would change my family background...I know exactly what you saying!!!
I really love prof Mokgokong he took good care of me when I was pregnant with my first child I remember he had my son's photo in his consulting rooms❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@ElizaMoleleki i am willing to bet mma, some day in the future, someone will compile a thesis on the works of (Dr) Mashabela and award a phd based on the subjects matters, stories and relevance to our societal dynamics for now and then. S'true!
I always listen to King David on the royal ground, radio 2000 and he's always on point...👌🏿🤗👊🏾😘 Thank you for bringing this amazing Prof. He could be made the advisor of minister of education. He is a tower of knowledge👌🏿😘👊🏾🤗
A wonderful interview, and what prof said: parents not knowing what their children do at school is is bad and is one of the reasons why kids lately lack motivation to do well. This actually reminds me of how my mother used to ask me what we did at school each day and would expect details. That form of "accountability" made me know I cannot just play around at school, and it's one of the reasons I went as far as I did with schooling and still looking to take a step further. It's always wonderful to hear from the giants like prof. Nice job bro Dave, always ever excellent 👌 .
Well done for this one David...you are running in your own lane Brother and doing very well at it. Anyway..it was refreshing to listen to someone who shares values from back then...So much wisdom From Prof
I salute Prof. on what he is sharing with us.MEDUNSA, Medical University of Southern Africa, was intended to be a Medical School for Bantus but Prof turned it around to be the Pride of the oppressed to produce distinguished Doctors committed to uplifting their Communities. Mpho and Mphonyana story was a spirit that, as Africans, We Can Achieve also. I regret why the name was changed because our history in the Health Sciences, MEDUNSA remains an icon.
Some of us we from rural schools thy barely dnt teach...thy do maths in spedi whn u get to grade 4 its now English maths we can't blame varsities but the foundation killed some of us we were not dt privileged to go to proper schools....
Another great episode full of necessary reflection and an informed view of everything South Africa. Prof Mokgokong is a well of wisdom and an epitome of impactful living. Mashabela Sir, the manner and depth in which you interview your guests is artistic - you are the greatest interviewer by far! Your preparation for these conversations is evident through your questions and how you engage your guests - with calmness, great questions and personal reflection. Thank you for a great episode!
This is what you will not get at any of the national broadcasts. Well done David 👏 ✔. This is revolution at work. Make this broadcast available in chapters please. This is just to let sink into the mind the inspiring thoughts he has. What a brilliant 👏 podcast this is! You and Radio Bop are just awesomely inspiring. Something in me has changed listening to this auspicious content.
Chapters this way: * His take on Colleges that produced credible professional nurses and teachers. * His thoughts on medical funding, the NHI impact. * His thoughts on basic education, to tertiary. * Personal conduct as a person, to cross the barriers in life such as failure as he mentioned he failed and it became a turning point for him.
Thank you I once said this and was roasted,to to go home while i was peacefully at home,those degrees need focus good sciences subjects not 30% or 60% pass mark
Its true what the Prof is saying about the intake of qualified nurses and radiographers as trainee Doctors. I know a few qualified nurses who went on to study medicine at Medunsa. They are today amongst the best Doctors we have in the country.
That incisive mind is undeniable. I wonder how old he is. What a treasure! Teachers and nurses were elite back then. Honorable professions, eish now great ones in the public system are few and far between.😢😢😢😢😢😢 To think ka Apartheid era, this type of quality human was being mass produced. Wow! My how we've fallen.
Bravo, This just confirms structural learning is important from the formative years, and is able to help young learners to overcome milestones, those that will be impossible if they had no early intervention. Such as Gifted Children, as in South Africa we have little knowledge about them, so this will give us more opportunity to identify and help our children to succeed. BELA BILL MOVEMENT.
Question to Prof. With such a powerful network and ability to raise funding, what can the Mokgokong Family/Network do to have a Black owned Medical Aid provider where black Dr.s will not have problem getting their payments on time?
Bra D if you are reading this, is it possible to break you Interviews for 4 parts mini series for us young ones who want to listen in with limited time. I can tell 5min in that this is q great piece to watch. 👏👏👑
No they care ... it's your government that steers the boat away ... they closed most of trade schools branding them apartheid programs and looked up to the likes of china to manufacture or produce what we did all along before they took lost control..
Bra David Mashabela, you deserve one of the six of the South African National Orders. Your documenting of South African history and heroes is a national service which we need. May God bless, and keep you for us.
No Bombastic words, no english idioms. Simple and Understandable sekgoa that can be understood by the young and old. Two intellects, who are trailblazers in their respective professions. King David Mashabela and Ntate Professor Mokgokong Thank You very much.

Our education system stresses me to the core. It's free but does it free us? My beloved country 😢
I also love how his father instilled the education and God to them in those difficult conditions or apartheid and had achieved all that😊. I'm at awe
Most humble human being and Dr, 1 of the few who treat people with kindness. So full of wisdom, had an opportunity to work indirectly with him at mediclinic Legae years back. What an honor.....
Never watched an episode more than once. This man is a proper germ. I wish my great grandfather Risaba Mukansi was still alive to tell his story
I watched this interview with a smile. I grew up admiring black people like Prof Mokgokong. Moreover. I just love listening to the stories share
The grandpa is 100% correct. Every year our produces 100s of BEd and BA graduates who end up being jobless coz the economy needs certain qualifications for employment and economic growths.

Thank you so much Ntate Mashabela. We appreciate the work you are doing, documenting our history.

Bravo, This just confirms structural learning is important from the formative years, and is able to help young learners to overcome milestones, those that will be impossible if they had no early intervention. Such as Gifted Children, as in South Africa we have little knowledge about them, so this will give us more opportunity to identify and help our children to succeed. BELA BILL MOVEMENT.
How is ntste Ephraim Mokgokong related to Sam Mokgokong? He did my mother head operation and she lived for 27years and very normal.
Dad, we talk about their relationship in this episode.
He is his dad.
that's his son...He is late now
@@monkimabiletsa332.. no his uncle (his sister's son) or nephew.
@@ngcebondebele597.. the late is his nephew (can you not listen or atleast understand) ... he had adopted him from his own sister ....
100% my Elder you are absolutely correct.
Question to Prof.
With such a powerful network and ability to raise funding, what can the Mokgokong Family/Network do to have a Black owned Medical Aid provider where black Dr.s will not have problem getting their payments on time?
I wish that I could meet this man….How I wish he could have been a leader in Government..
Very inspiration video as always.
David Big up for daring to engage a giant of a scholar!
Black Excellence 🎉🎉🎉
Huma excellence .... no "colour" excellence .... teach your children so.

90% of parents don’t know what their kids do at school and they don’t care either
No they care ... it's your government that steers the boat away ... they closed most of trade schools branding them apartheid programs and looked up to the likes of china to manufacture or produce what we did all along before they took lost control..
