“South Africa has never needed black consciousness than today “. I concur.
Gogo is a National Treasure. An Epitome of Black Excellence.
I hope to meet him one day
Sizwe Please get us this guest on South African television screens!
Millions need to hear these facts!
Urgently!
Thanks that you got my message - You are the hope to the young and old to get Unfiltered News!
Keep up the good work!
Problem with South Africans who are puppets of mainstream media, don't listen to Gogo objectively, coz he criticized Cyril, and he has a history in KZN, so once you're like that, automatically you're Zuma's faction, and it is all about ethnicity to them! As horrible as Cyril is, a KZN person can't criticize him! And I always say, you can't subjective in away you consume information, and then claim to be intelligent or smart, instead you're as good as someone who's always half informed, and propagandic informed mostly
Mkhulu is so blessed with two amazing gifts, spirituality and intelligence. He’s far way ahead of the present times and if our politicians cared, they’d listen to his wisdom and our country would be a better place
Mkhulu is a Sanusi, I acknowledge it now,can't wait for it to be confirmed later.
They failed to listen to bab CredoMutwa ,we are where we are today because our leaders listen to freemason than their own
❤❤❤
I agree with you 💯💯💯💯
Gogo is a great political analyst 👏👏
Sisanuse esi, beyond political analysis
Together we can do better for our beautiful country please ntwana keep up and do good with this conversation with Gogo Aubrey slowly but surely we and we'll conquer everything in our way thanks boi
I don’t usually comment on CZcams videos but I felt compelled to do so. Gogo is so wise. Thank you once again Sizwe🙏🏿
🙏🏽
Just through the first 32 minutes… mayivalwe!! Cima!! The prophet has spoken!! Profound!
Gogo must be Protected!! What a National Key Point!!! We are Blessed to be Living in His Time!!!💥💫💯🖤🖤🖤🖤
ANC leaders don't care about the people. But their time is limited
❤❤ I felt an unbelievably strong emotion as you recited the clan name I myself belong to, Gcina Tyhopho Xhamela Nokwindla and felt the presence of the great Biko in your conversation with Gogo Matshiqi. He talks about aspects that bother me daily and I remember once reading about Biko and felt overwhelmed by his age and achievements at the time. We have deeply failed him. 😢😢😢
Always great to hear the wisdom of uGogo, the first time I read " I Write What I Like", everything changed in how I value myself as black person and my people in general, I watch at what is happening in our country with horror
Thank you Sizwe for exposing us to this wisdom. I truly appreciate.
yoh its always a priviledge to listen to uGogo Aubrey👏🏿👏🏿
Mhhh...I feel like running away from this world...so much-needed valuable information... Aubrey and Sizwe thank you guys!
It's beautiful to watch Dr Ziswe enjoying every moment of the conversation with Gogo. Thanks for sharing uGogo and his wisdom with the world. He is such a revilation. Camagu
Clicked the "like"button before even clicking play...that's how profound and a treasure Gogo is! Great way to wind up the so called "heritage" weekend.
Wow 👏👏👏🙌🏾🙌🏾🇿🇦we're so blessed to have people like Ugogo you must invite him on your show at SABC the Nation need to learn more and hear more from him
You've said it perfectly gogo. Human consciousness. Consciousness in general
Yesterday a fire took 6 lives of my fellow soldiers in a military training area in the Northern Cape. And immediately I thought of Gogo's utterances on this interview and I checked how in the Army we recently changed many reserve units names to stelwarts names. #RIPSoldiers
What an insightful interview
This was an excellent conversation. Long live Biko long live!
Wow, this is a must see for everyone, so deep and profound
Thank you Sizwe.
I live for this kind of content , all facts and no sugar coating.
Sizwe my elderly mother has been begging me for this interview 4 past few days since she heard Gogo Aubrey briefly on Radio 702! Happy Heritage day! Today is gonna epic to listen to this interview with my old lady💪🏾🙏🏾
What a wisdom from Gogo Matshiqi and i wish this could be weekly.
What a powerful well informed Game From UBaba🙏and Sizwe💪
To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a weekly and monthly basis. That's the key to living a financially stable life. This trick has never failed. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life and put this basis to work and practice. Jessica Darrell have been a great manager, mentor and guide. Her support and advice has helped shaped my crypto trading career.
I get a lot of recommendations for Jessica Darrell from friends. Her strategy must be good for people to testify a lot about her.
I have been getting so many recommendations about her as well
how do I reach her
For real she's very profitable
Whole life is a joke in every sense, the investment side of a whole life policy gives the poor return and stabilized the rich
How does this whole crypto thing works I'm interested in it and willing and ready to invest heavily but I need an assistant to properly guide me through on how to make a good startup and be successful in it without making mistakes
Brilliant work Sizwe. uGogo Aubrey Matshiqi is excellent at looking at history to understand the present and make up an informed opinion about the correct path into the future. A true embodiment of black excellence and black consciousness all in one.
So true Gogo, SA has never needed black consciousness like it does today. Thank you gogo Matshiqi for enlightening us and thank you Sizwe for always bringing my favorite analyst.
🙌🏽
I'm glad to hear someone identifying our ANC government as being non-white and not black. Thank you. Being black is not a colour, but rather the content of our collective character.
Missed you two very much❤
Phewww!!! We should have more of these informative and enlightening discussions. Thank U so much 👏👏
Yooh listening to Gogo is like sitting in a lecture that just transforms you mind....
When wisdom speaks....we get to dig deeper into ourselves. Thank you Sizwe for letting Koko tapping into our consciousness. Decolonize the colonisers first so that when the colonizer speaks, they'll speak the language we understand. Therefore, we'll reach some understand
I just learned that my name is my calling and it has always been there in front of me and I didn't recognize it yet has always following the purpose. It says none of us is a mistake but we're all in a big course of the flow of existence...
First time I see this man! Absolutely love him; could listen to him all day. Love his aura, calmness and how knowledgeable he is! Also may we never forget uTata Biko! ♥
We're privileged to hear Gogo speaking from both dimensions: the physical (political) and the metaphysical (esp. His prophecies). Dankie Gogo.
uGogo Matshiqi is a great Historian & Leader, he did not just read about these events he has a LIVED experience in this South African system of oppression. Wow! I can listen to him all day. He literally spoke about so many theories that I myself have been pondering alone. My highlights were the Neo Liberal system that the ANC adopted after '94 , the now leaders only see us the people on the ground as objects and ('voting cattle' in a sense), and the ANC has been infiltrated as an organisation, due to its nature of being led by some individuals who were cherry picked to carry on the status quo of Neo-Liberalism & Neo-Colonialism.
Wow! Keep up the good work Dr Mpofu-Walsh👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
What I take out from uGogo is that in African context naming of child is deeper than anyone can understand 🙏🙏 51:22 51:23
Gogo is shaping my intellectual and political consciousness one episode at a time, his wisdom is a tremendous treasure
What an informative another episode on Biko.The analysis syllogism critic procurement on also consciousness,etc,are all well interwoven..i always say we as ppl needs must ensure Biko /black consciousness as philosophy must be in the curriculum of our education system of as early grades as possible as bedrock of pedagogic lifeline.Agreed with uGogo,if ever we need black consciousness in SA the time is now.===Great job Sizwe
Ugogo-fountain of knowledge & wisdom, much love and respect from Botswana- @Sizwe- why not engage him monthly 🙏
My spirituality has been revived today. Great conversation as usual. With water & fire, GP (North) is under fire while WC & EC (South) has experience floods. I'm worried about the devastating one 🙆♂
And our oppressors and colonizers want us to stop chanting our struggle songs.why because the now anc is so weak and sold us out.our Biko,our Hani our Sobukwe wanted better for us.what does anc do give back still to the apartheid government.Aluta continua✊🏾✊🏾
With uGogo there's no issue with likes before the video started 🤝
Mr Mpofu, your guest is a consciously gifted spirit. Gogo cleanses my mind, I thank. Hope he lives another 25 yrs more.
I'm already sold just on the starting sequence. The Steve Biko build-up was 🔥🔥🔥
🙌🏽
Camagu🙏🙌 as always spot on analysis with uGogo. Worth listening to and a lot of unlearning and learning in terms of liberating our minds as Abantu. Thank you for bringing Him again Sizwe ❤️
You begin to relive his experience just by listening he's a great storyteller.
Thank you so much Sizwe we are learning a lot from Gogo🙏🙏🙏🙏. Keep up good work on this type of shows.
Every time I listen to Gogo I get enlightened. What a Legend.
I hear my mother saying "Dali bambulele" and my father replied "ubani"? And my mother said "u-Biko" Wow!!!!
A powerful conversation.
Let the voice of Steve Biko live forever especially now in SA where the colonizer is slowly taking political power again thanks to the ANC.
🎯 Tnx to the Jewish Zionist Elitists prostitutes
So you are proud of ANC. Your brain must have frozen
Colonial powers never left or lost power just they co opted thier clerks to manage system on their behalf. It takes more than just a brain to grasp this.
@@veronicakarstel9126 where do you get that?
@@shafiyaalgiquadra1105 I am just as baffled
Thank you for bringing this sage wise man. Always has enlightening insights.
Wonderful talk. U-Gogo must read Xolela Mangcu's Biko Biography in relation to Stephen Biko's clan name..
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😭😭😭😭😭Fire was definitely spread here.
See we need this kind of analysis in our country, not just honing on a politics and other socioeconomic ills but getting to a point where we understand the spiritual implications! This is Golden Content Doc. I am always in awe of Gogo’s ability to tie everything that’s happening in the country to consequential spiritual disconnection and the constant neglect of a much needed spiritual symbiosis to our affairs as a nation.
Also thank you for teaching us how to listen 😅 you actually allow your guests to speak freely without interruption!!
Last Request👀
Please invite Dr. Lwazi Lushaba
I was watching an interview where the political commentator said South Africa will most likely become a failed state because the people of this country refuse to hold this government accountable. It was shocking to hear but true, we always blame government but fail to hold the people keeping government in power accountable. I am very nervous about the future of this country. I just pray God helps this nation.🙏
Praying all the time 🙏 God listens and He will answer our prayers 🙏 by saving this country and it's people 🙏❤️
I will actually go and watch some of the previous sessions, Gogo and Sizwe are so much in unison, ..effortless, what an interesting discussion, I'm intrigued.
Dr Mpofu-Walsh, thank you for these gems on South African politics! Prof Mashiqi is indeed a Godsend!
BTW I got your second book on Takealot recently! Looking forward to reading it.
iziduko zakwa Biko: MGcina, Xhamela, Nokwindla
Yes did you watch the part where we found them?
Intriguing. Beneficial. Thank you so much.
Spread the fire!
would love to see Dr Lushaba on the podcast
We’re trying only problem is he’s in Cape Town.
Amazing conversation
Can't wait to listen to the wisdom of Mkhulu
Saw his tweets about snakes and moons and mother nature.... I immediately thought it would be awesome to have him back here. Ayeye!
I can listen to ugogo and adv Skhakhani every day
As already said, Gogo is indeed a national key point!!His vast and deep knowledge is very attractive. I agree with him fully, in fact it is an argument I also make to anybody who cares to listen, that there is no appropriate time than now where we need black consciousness. We would certainly not have this vast poverty, corruption, greed ....if we embraced black consciousness' ideology or philosophy. Please ask him about the difference between brown and black in reference to Africans [ngikhule kuthiwa singabantu abansundu]. how and when did we adopt black [mnyama] instead of brown [nsundu] as color. Great show as always Sizwe - You are the future!!
❤Gogo always on point
I was in the Free State yesterday at the Town called Lindley to be specific and this what I notice:
1. The decay and dilapidation of of that town - the shops, tar roads I mean the economy degradation
2. High level of intoxicating (alcohol, drugs) are slowly but surely kill the small and quite town
On the other hand,
1.Social genetic - mostly are church goers, spiritual leaders from all walks of life
2. The cars mostly affluent they drive are highly expensive
3. The types of houses build by the affluent are ostensibly beautiful
Why not at least revitalise the local economy as affluent - create jobs and absorb the unemployed reduce the level of drug and alcoholism.
Our next Credo Mutwa ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Co incidentally as I arrived Back Home from School on June 16 of 1976 it was Tata Credo Mutwa on the Radio explaing wat was Happening in Soweto on that Day.
Isisele seNyathi esisaseli naso esi, emva ko bawo Credo Muthwa.
Zanuse ngokwazo, Camagu 😊❤
I must say though the demi-God just made my day,..NPA changing into doing what they have been doing all the years anticipating the wishes of the demi-God...brilliant brilliant brilliant 😊😊
I read The World at the City Library archives from 2000 - 2007. That was my political awakening. It took years but it was better than any books I read about our history!
🙌🏽
What book Nota is title of the book Nota, I didn't listen to the whole video
Quite enriching discussions, setting tone as we approach 30yrs of "freedom" with lots of challenges.
uGogo we love and respect ❤❤❤❤❤
Who among the present ANC members fought for Liberation? Even the leading Thumamina Phala Phala guy, I don't remember him during the Apartheid years being among the fighters, he only appeared when Mr. Mandela was released from prison. Was he deployed by the WMC to do what he is doing today? As South Africans , we have lost everything under the current ANC .
Part 2 please
Whenever he comes one sees light
Great Sizwe! Please have GoGo more often in your channel. Does he have books he wrote?
I like when Gogo says we cannot separate Steve Biko from ( Black Consciousness.) That is Reality.
Thank you for this; I respect uGogo Matshiqi. Something I found interesting while listening was his discussion of the ANC being infiltrated and serving 'outside masters.' This notion is common among his generation and is frequently discussed. In response to this, I'd like to make the following point: infiltration is a tactic of war. Did the liberation movements not also use infiltration to combat the colonial and apartheid state? If they didn't, why do we keep mentioning it? And if they were indeed infiltrated, what actions did they take to address it?
Also,, I struggle with the idea that progressive thinking africans are somehow sell-outs; with phantom handlers. The conservative African is no more African than his progressive counterpart.
The individualism mindset is one of the problems we have in the world. We think if one person can succeed there are no problems in the world.
The professor is a political anthropologist. Very few of them. A welcome indeed.
Goosebumps 😂😂
Thank you Sizwe
Waiting in anticipation🙏🏽🙏🏽
Sizwe Aubrey GoGo Matshiqi is one of a kind, ❤
🙏🏽
This country has to go through a period of momentous spiritual cleansing, for all those who gave their lives so we could be "free"
I remember his last interview when he predicted that there will be lots of fires after the parliament fire. Like his independent mind as compared to prepaid analysis from the likes of Mashele, Ndletyana etc
Water is life and fire is death. We're seeing drought in big cities, which water has been replaced by fires left right and centre.
A child had died which is humanity. A new child was born, which is capitalism...so sad😂
Ayeye! siyathokoza gogo
We will never recover from this entitlement mentality and dependency on grants. Same money goes to those who have they keep on accumulating more and more assisted by the state😢
Thanks Sizwe
I am so sad..towards the end only one of the 2 questions was addressed, namely public protector Mkhwebane but the Buthelezi one wasn't addressed due to time.....
Ayeye! What was your favourite moment from this interview?
This is by far the best episode on this channel. Please pin it at the top
Thobela Gogo!! Siyavuma 👏🏾👏🏾!!
In nutshell Ugogo says we must vote anc out of power 😂😂
Very interesting and informative perspective from Mkhulu Matshiqi. It would be even better to hear his views on tbe metamorphosis of SA from constitutional democracy to Neocolonialism as defined by Kwame Nkrumah in his book 'Neocolonialism. The Last Stage of Imperialism'
