I cannot get over Thandiswa's beauty...😍😍😍
She is so fresh ❤
nam yhoo
Thandiswa literally shaped how many young black girls came into feeling beautiful and free in a world that glorifies western beauty. She has this magically and goddess energy. It's about time she is given a lifetime achievement award as well.
I remember On Twitter some years ago, people were attacking Ntsiki and comparing her to Thandiswa, Ntsiki then tagged Thandiswa to callout her Fans, Thandiswa replied "asibazi nobazi ababantu- We don't even know these people"..I still carry these words in my heart and that's how I deal with Abantu bazothini Syndrome.♥♥♥
beautiful💛💛💛
Love that!
Thandiswa is absolutely gorgeous. 🔥👌
My crush on Thandiswa Mazwai refuses to die. 😊❤
She's older than me but the crush bruh, Yoooh.
Saw her at The Hustler's Corner, now I'm here. Can't get enough of her, Her Majesty👑
Nice to see the sisters together
Me too been following all her interviews. She is beautiful in and out.
check out the interview on Kaya with Dineo and Sol
@@tandiswamacanda6670 I practically live on CZcams, I'm sure you understand, lol😊
I'm sommer gonna watch that one. I had to start here.
No guys KingTha is funny 🤣 That Nkgono story had me, it's so amazing seeing her as a Musical Goddess and an amazing human ❤❤
Listen I was in stitches 😂😂😂
I'm 20 years old and Thandiswa's music has been a healing sound for me. We appreciate you so much. Thank you for making classics that we can treasure for years to come. Thank you for the awesome platform Ntsiki!
This is so cute Omg
I love Thandiswa❤ She influenced my sense of style and my love for bright african accessories and how I keep my hair😢 I love her
Years ago when uThandiswa was working on ibokhwe I had the privilege of hearing the album before it was played on radio and I think the song "Ingoma" was also there! Ndikhumbula ndisithi le ingoma is going to be a hit... And it was and still is the song that I love as if Ndiya qala ukuyiva. It Has That Thing... It is not an ordinary love song... It's deeper than meets the ear! I always sing it to my kids... Ingoma the song is a deep spiritual love song...
Maqhawekazi igama lami u Nunu Ngema. I just wanna say l worship Thandiswa if she would open a church l would gladly
join. She has healed me with her many songs, but Thongo lam feels like was dedicated to me. I've been going through a lot and that song connects to what l have been going through. Mthakathi awudeli. Kodwa ngibonga okhokho nokhulukhulwane amadlozi wami ngempilo yami abayiphephisa day and night. I just wanted to say that out loud. THANK YOU KING Tha.
I was reminded of our primary school days. I was a friend of Thandiswa, we were a gang of 3 myself Lulama, her and Xoliswa. I remember our principal always asking about her dad, little did I know that she had a crush on him.
Thandiswa's aesthetic has inspired a generation. I always go and say that she's the closest thing to Lauryn Hill we got, not saying she's another version but her being herself makes her so influencial like the likes of Lauryn. I learn a lot from Thandiswa, I too lost a mother at an early age I think I was 10 as a middle child but I think her death brought out the maturity in me. It's kinda hard for kids to lose their mother early cause that shuts down their world , it's like life is starting all over and we like lost souls. Before her passing she gave birth 2 months prior her death, she named our Lil bro Mduduzi I'm only realising now that she knew that she was leaving us with someone whose gonna comfort us. Great episode
Thandiswa > Lauryn Hill 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I understand what you mean brother. I see it. RIP to your mother. I only lost my mother in 2020 and it has been feeling like I have been trying to find what my reality it since her passing. And I'm 30 now. Shows the power that mothers have over our lives. I hope uMduduzi uzoqhubeka abe yilenduduzo athunyelwe ukuba abe yiyona. Parents usually know.
The stories about nkgono are so wholesome.
"When you are a kid, awungomtu omnyama, ungumtu"....took me back to a thought I once had while looking at the eyes of my niece who was a newborn at the time. They were so clean and I was like, she hasn't yet seen the evils of this world and her purity is somewhat depicted through her eyes.
Wow, that's so profound ❤
@@rethabilenxumalo9742 Thank you, it was honestly a very random thought 😊
This is the most hilarious interviews I've ever watched of King Tha, she's so funny 🤣😆I loved the part of the teacher asking about the whereabouts of uTatakho 😅🤣😂
Thandiswa such an important part of who I am. She truly inspired a generation. Thank you for reminding us..
Thandiswa is a legend, I mean she has inspired an entire generation into appreciating and loving themselves. She inspires me as an artist, there is a song that I always play of hers to connect to my Africaness/Spirituality if I can call it that, I put that song on repeat and just sing along, dance along and just be. The song is titled; Thongo Lam (Iyeza), it is on the Ibokwe album. That song is my medicine...
This episode will stay with me forever. I love love Thandiswa. She's so original in her spirituality. I connect with her greatly. Stay blessed my sister 🙏🏾
Me too been crying and laughing throughout!!!
Shout out to sisters doing it with power and grace. This is gorgeous to watch
Exactly 💯, it's so nice to see sisters sharing such a moment and appreciating each other.Nowadays even in our families,siblings are jealous of each other and some wouldn't even put each other forward to shine.You make it,they think you think you are better. Big up to these sisters. Supporting each other as a family it's more than anything.
I love love u Thandiswa… u r a King on stage best performer of all times ✌️✌️✌️✌️…. I attended most of yr shows… love love yr Music and I attended yr resent performance in Bloem 💥💥💥💥
You are blessed!
I am here for Nkgono.. sesotho is power 🥰...
This conversation gave me so much life 🤲🏽❤❤ Ndiyabulela. We adore you, Thandiswa.
The high level of reverence Ntsiki has for sis Thandiswa is admirable👏🏾Camagwini kwa Miya. This episode was so wholesome and gave us a glimpse of the love the Mazwai sisters share. The part about being abomama 🥴took me out coz now we are the batswadi that ama 2K speak of💀.
Did you guys noticed how Ntsiki gave that tissue to her big sister? That's how we give something to people we respect the most. I was so touched 😭.It's shows Inhlonipho. They were brought up very well.Its nice to see that some people still value such thing. That's why people must stop judging people by what they see on socials. People must discover the real person not what they hear from other people.Love you guys !!Stay blessed. 😻💜💛💚🧡.
I did hee! Phela nami I am also Zuzu ekhaya ❤️ 😍 ❤️
Sbonge for pointing that out. 🙏🏾
#abantu ✊🏾
@@sonnyjermain Thanks 😊🙏, It's so important to us black nation.
@@zuzilezungu5899 🤣 So cool Zuzuh💙!
Though mine is only Zuzu 😃 😄 ☺️😂 😸
This woman when I was young I had what is know today "crush" I loved her sooo much to dating point, I know she like 10yrs to 14yrs above me but I just felt connected to her, now as I start to see things with hidden eye,it was all the vibration she having, I love you Goddess of mother Africa,umuhle n u sing healing frequencies,I still love you but not that way I used think it's normal but the way you being mother great queen of one of KEMET best. ❤
This is so spiritual, two sisters of the nation in one room, sharing their upbringing to the nation, thokozani bogogo na bomkhulu ba kwa Mazwai,
The Mom question took me out 😭😭, Thandiswa you are a dream ♥️😭
Please, can we have a podcast hosted by you Ntsiki and Thandiswa. This is beautiful to watch
The power of having a mother and elders who hold you by the hand. Thank you sisters for this catharsis.
Thandiswa was always and remains an enigma! She has the hidden force that always shows itself where ever she goes. This force makes her stay true to herself even when others think it is out of fashion. Can we have a part 2 please, and this time focus more on her spiritual journey since we as a people have this spiritual void that needs to be addressed now, more than ever.
I love this. That there is you then there is your gift, something takes over. I understand this. Feder sis Thandiswa's skin is doing the most. The glow is beautiful. I must also agree with sis Ntsiki. When i started freely expressing myself and how i want to dress usis Thandiswa was one person i looked up to.
She inspired a lot of us!
Thandiswa, Thandiswa Wowwww KingTha :) please comeback hhhhhhai mina I just wanna listen to you everyday.
This interview was the healing I didn't know I needed. It's almost 2 AM on a full moon night and ghis is giving me life. Everything: from the influence of elders, enriching the canon through the Belede album and just the vibrancy and authenticity that is KingTha. Enkosi. Siyilindele ngezandla ezishushu ialbum le izayo.
I hope other hosts are watching on HOW to interview This KING! Such a wealth of history and wisdom and stories of giants... please Maan! Research! Thank you Ntsiki for this podcast... part 2 and 3 please
I resonate so much with uThandiswa. I see me in her, she had so much impact in me. Knowing that I'm my roots,I'm where I come from, though I stretch myself out to the world, I stay rooted in the me. An African girl who's culture is imprinted in her. Thank you Thandiswa for being that IT girl in a group full of boys, you made me believe that my voice matters.
Haaaai man this was too short yaz I was deep into it and enjoying it, I swear I could listen to Sis Thandiswa speak or sing all day, thank Ntsiki for this one, this one is a special one 🤞, we love you King Tha, thank you for the music and everything you've shared with us along the years, uThixo akubusise❤.
I just love at how Ntsiki is looking at her sister oh yhini kingtha wethu, we love you ladies, I shared a tear on the last part of the interview.
I idolise this woman, sana she’s definitely the chosen one
Isn’t it amazing watching Ntsiki admire her own sister 🙂 Thandiswa is truly a legend bantu
She's so genuine and soulful. One of the truly African ones. The ones our dreams are made of. Love Thandiswa long time 💝
I loved this.....I could swear Ntsiki is hearing these stories for the first time.
So Thandiswa shes a untanga I can tell from not getting old this generation of ours ayifuni❤️❤️❤️❤️
I truly enjoyed this episode because I saw Thandiswa in a different light apart from her music but I love Ntsiki even more I saw that she loves to laugh and she is such a good soul besides all the backlash she gets.This podcast should continue
Argh you can literally feel the love between these two , it's very beautiful 💚💚💚
She is a stunning stunning and articulate person. The story about screaming for the break bell had me on the floor..I love her
Yhooo finally been waiting since... Just as I was opening my phone... Boom it came on!!! 🤩😍🤩😍🤩
My mom introduced me to Her solo music! Zabalaza I was ten when it came out. I’ve loved her since then.❤❤
Siya camagusha kwi zihlwele zoo Miya, Sibewu, Salakulandelwa. Thokozani boo gogo nabo mkhulu🙌🙌🙌
I'm so excited to see these lovely sisters here together.I love Thandiswa,I even named my niece Thandiswa,cos of her. She's now 13 and I told her that,she was so happy to hear that.I love them💘❤💕
Yooh, how sweet. I shed a tear with Thandiswa. That question wouldn't have left any eye dry. 💝
I’m here already for the King 👑 ❤
I love u both so much, I wish I had a sister who hypes me like Ntsiki, the way u looking at the King bra, the love... ❤️.. My son and I sing along to King Tha almost everyday, he is 6...thit was a phenomenal one Ntsikinator.
Thank you from myself and the beautiful team I work with
Eish Thandiswa sana you remind me of when I was young, I grew up in an accommodate atmosphere where we learnt about other people's culture and it saddens me when all of a sudden we in an Era of "snowflakeism" and we calling our black brothers and sisters "foreigners"...The world has become hyper sensitive and narcissistic...
Watching this now in 2024.... Thandiswa makes me want a Xhosa friend. KING THA forever!!!!!!!
Ndingu mxhosa Yiza sana😂😂
Aaah this is so sweet my dad taught at Phuthing and Thandiswa was in his class. The entire class gave him a SA political book. That Thandiswa signed I still have it with her signature. I love this lady so much. LOVE the sister love as well. It's amazing thanks Ntsiki.
Her aura 🥺❤
Sis Thandiswa has done a lot for me personally. I really could write a short story. I get too emotional when I think about one of the artists I follow, that has had a major impact on me in more ways than just the music.
Camagwini👏
Wow sis thandiswa is calm yoh 😭 😩 😫 love her personality.
U are at yr purest on stage … I feel u when u perform Cc … Camagu👏👏👏
We need a part 2! Haibo.. tiime flew by so fast kle interview, I suppose I was having fun. Absolutely enjoyed this one.
Time flies when you’re having fun 😂
I have been waiting for this one Ntsiki, kudala usinika kancinci kancinci...I really enjoyed it. I loved Thandiswa and still do qha unqabile kudala singamboni. She was on Kaya fm breakfast show with Dineo and Sol abt 2 wks ago or so. I would love to see more pple.
The one guest I've been waiting for.. thank you beautiful sisters💚💛🧡❤
I truly agree❤❤❤ Thandiswa made our😍 culture cool 😍 usikhulisile lo dade and I'm 32😂 but I remember my childhood memories with her bangers
Wow.. I am in awe👐 I have been glued to the screen. 👌👊👐👐. Makwande Kubemhlophe, Kukhanye. Camagu💯💥💫
Magnificent interview indeed. Thandiswa is one of my favourite musicians. Her music is so special. She was so gracious.
Seeing the 2 of you together 🥺💚 please stay magical,we receive the light,we appreciate it so much...Look at the Creator showing off 👑💜 Majestic 🙌🏾
Nina nina, ngiyanithanda maan!!! Usis Thandiswa ungikhulisile ngingekho eduze kwakhe, the music, the interviews, impilo yakhe. This interview just reminded why I love her. ❤ inkosi ikubusise sisi
Love it! I will never forget my short but sweet interaction with Thandiswa when Bongo Muffin were visiting my hometown as well as Stoan's hometown, Mafikeng. Their combi was parked in our school parking lot (Mmabatho Highschool) which is also Stoan's former High School. I saw Stoan first and immediately asked where's Thandiswa (As if she was the only other member of the group) He told me where to find them and when I got there, Thandiswa smiled at me (with that gorgeous smile of hers) and told me I'm beautiful 🤩. There was a strange but sweet connection, I felt butterflies in my stomach but not the nervous ones, the sweet ones. Now I know that we were totally crushing on each other.
This was beautiful. You two are beautiful souls. Sicela uNomsa next! Just hit us with ALL the Mazwai magic.
Siblingship is a beautiful and magical thing.... when mom and dad are gone, when you have siblings, you have EVERYTHING!!!
Siblings are the best!
I can relate
It’s the Nkgono impersonation for me 😂
What a beautiful interview, I love how you love each other as sisters and I think people will stop comparing you with your big sister that jumped into a role of becoming your mother when you lost Belede at a very young age. Looking at how much you respect your sister....its wonderful. But Ntsiki this was too short, you know we adore your big sister. We need her to come back.
Andisanithandi! 🥺 Nibahle, nichubekile yaye nikhululekile. Belumnandi oludlebano ndlebe. 🙏❤️
Ke le rata gore! So so proud of you Ntsiki for how you've chosen to have the conversations you want to have on this platform. Wishing you well and Congratulations!!! And Thandiswa, Thank you - both for being yourself and for ukuvuma ukufa when you have to. We need you both as yourself and as a conduit/channel for all the healing and love we experience through you. Camagu!
King Tha, you are the epitomy of love for oneself, umbila womzontshundu, you feed us all through your music. Sivuma ukuzithanda ngamazwi akho. You are divinely favored, sisi, by Undali, ancestors, and positive earthly elder gurus, camagu. Usikhumbuza ukuthi sizalwa ngobani, sizala obani," long live the African children!"; They must keep the light burning. Your flowers 🎉🎉🎉 presented from the most high, affirms your presents in our ears. The lagacy is entrenched. When one faces challenges, ask for iyeza losusa inkathazo zobumi. More respect that you talk about and acknowledge to ask for help from experts when the going gets tough. ❤🎉
Sisi Ntsiki, hail ndlovukazi on the noticeable respect and cherishable relationship you show with you big sis ❤❤. 👏
Thandiswa exudes that Aries energy for real lol, it's surreal to even think that she created the work she has at the time she did and made such an impact. Ntsiki, you are phenomenal in creating dialogue. The world has shaped you to become the power house you are truly destined to be. God speed to the Mazwai sisters.
totally agree😂❤ As I watched her speak, laugh and cry, I was like yep definetely an Aries❤
Not me thinking she’s a Scorpio.
Thank you guys for the nice conversation....Thandiswa I never noticed how beautiful u are
I've enjoyed this one interview sooo much. Thank you Ntsiki, I love uThandiswa ❤️💞
I can feel this beautiful aura you guys emit @Ntsiki Mazwai 💓
😍😍😍
Zabalaza” and “Belede” are my favourites, especially “Belede”. Love this interview, looking forward to your next album, King Tha🙌🏽🙌🏽
They must just do an autobiography on you King seriously,been obsessed with every interview you've done so far.❤
So grateful for this interview , it’s like we got to know our aunty better. Still my one only favorite female artist in Africa ..
Best interview ever....been smiling from the beginning till the end. Oh thanx Ntsie for bringing us usis Thandiswa, I love her so much😍😍❤ her music is healing. I have watched her since the time of umam Leta Mbuli...Mirriam Makeba and Tata Hugh Masekela. Oh I am fan. I love you sis Thandiswa❤️
Absolutely beautiful conversations, please do a second session. Love King Tha so much! Met her in March, what a beautiful being. You are brilliant sisNtsiki. Enkosi Gcwanini xx
I stumbled upon this episode while watching the other podcast & my algorithm said, maybe u might like this and i tell u, i am so happy i found this channel. I fully enjoyed this episode and Thandiswa i have always been a huge fan of her. I remember i bumped to her at SARS Alberton & i had to get an autograph 🥰😍🥰. I love her so much.
Beautiful content wena Ntsiki 🥰
I love you King Tha. Thank you Ntsiki for the beautiful platform
Ntsiki mentioned something very true, Thandiswa after Miriam Makeba made being natural and traditional very cool in an age where being American was popular.
The sisterhood between yall hit a deep spot for me. Another great interview. I learnt so much about you Thandiswa, I think when Ntsiki spoke of the young generation of women you have inspired, I realised I was amongst those. Love and light
🥰
This was so beautiful to watch. ❤️❤️❤️🙌
Love her also ntsiki she's matured and more calm love to see it.
🤭🤭🤭About time too
I love how Thandiswa makes you feel so soft and feminine Ntsiki.
I love how you were so authentic and comfortable Thandiswa, you spoke from your soul and gave us a glimpse of your life, your craft and your spirit in a way that is so so beautiful.
You ladies really did a great conversation where it was ego-less and so effortless.
Light and lots of laughter. This has been special 😅❤️👍🏿
Thank you for this Sis Ntsiki ❤
This was an interview I never knew I needed. Thandiswa is such a powerhouse and I enjoyed the angle of this interview.
Ntsiki you're a great interviewer because eventhough you know a lot about Thandiswa and are cognisant of the topics/questions that you could have raised to stir controversy/views, you chose to engage with her from a perspective that allowed us to learn something totally different about her and I appreciate the fact that you believed in us as your audience on being able to learn more about Thandiswa without including the other personal stuff.
This was so refreshing.
I promise never to humiliate any guest and to show you guys interesting sides to them...
@@NtsikiMazwai I truly love your work.
Many more blessings to you.
Wow their light just shines through the screen. Been smiling and giggling throughout this whole conversation. Man we see ourselves through you. Thank you for helping us identify and stay true to ourselves and realise through your artistry the POWER that is! Its true that this podcast is really amazing and everything we need as the African children! Thank the Mazwayi sisters
Thandiswa is so funny when she talks about nkgono! 'tlo re lwane hee'!
Thokozane👏👏…When the notification for this here podcast came in I put of listening until a few later…now I know why. KING THA I feel the energy you bring wethu, a telephathy of sorts (for lack of a better term)…Enkosi for gracing us with your presence here…like you have shared your talents with us all this years. I wonder who is hiding behind that face and hope to one day be honored with getting to meet and know them. You have touched me so deeply with Ibhokwe at a time when a lot was being revealed to me and this after listening to a lot of your music …Ibhokwe really carried the spark that ignited them flames and opened the portal…When it was launched I got it the first thing it landed on the shelves …my mkhaya Marcus set it aside for me at his store. Some of my friends who listened to the album in my car are today in the African Sacred Science space as healers … Guess them choruses with Thongo Lam’ got them a response😂😂, and I was nicknamed “Abenguni” behind my back cos apparently ev’ry time it played my name would come up…The track got stuck in the archives of their memory(s) after listening to it on repeat on the way home from clubs in P’tori to Sosha and they in turn introduced it to their friends…When “Roots of Love” was set on me it echoed Nizalwa Ngobani….for our spiritual languages are being replaced by commercial tongues…lest we forget. Enkosi KingTha… You hoed and tilled the soil and the seed was planted. May your light continue to shine ..Camagu
What a beautiful and fitting tribute 💛
Thokoza ngonyama👏🏿. This was beautifully phrased. Credit must be given where it's due. Even then it is not entirely about us. Sonkhe mele senze umsebenzi esithunywe ukuthi siwenze.
@@ndumakazulu Ngcamane….s’thokozile Khehla 👏🏿👏🏿kakhulu
Such a heartwarming interview 🥺❤️
❤❤💕💕👏🏽👏🏽 no amount of words can describe Thandiswa🥰🥰
Yoooooooo guys. Can you please do a photo shoot as Mazwai sisters or atleast a show together. Woooould so much love that. You all head strong, Afro-centric, driven and gentle wonke umntu nge dlela yakhe. Oyini Tsiki please dooo something
I've been waiting for this interview and it was worth the wait. I enjoyed watching this interview. ❤️❤️❤️
That Nkgono story is hilarious 😂😂 KingTha is funny 😂😂🙌🏿
