    Beautiful interview. Gareth rightly understands that his opinions and life experiences aren’t accepted truths. He pushes those boundaries and I think one would do well not to take other peoples opinions personally. I personally don’t agree with a lot he says but I enjoy listening to him.

    Credit to SMWX for bringing a polarising figure...it's the reason we appreciate alternative media platforms like CZcams instead of traditional platforms like CNN etc. Whatever one thinks of Gareth, he is worth listening to. I wouldn't ordinarily listen to him after the Naledi Pandoor jibe but there's something valuable worth listening to..

    • @chronosmagasaurus2813
      @chronosmagasaurus2813 Před 3 měsíci +1

      I cannot speak for Gareth but one thing I can say is Black Men are powerful beyond their imagination and without them we would not be a developed society, black man work hard for their families to put food on the table and make sure that their kids and wife are fed and taken care of and that makes them noble and wise. Black men are responsible for the physically hard work of repair and contruction of infrastructure all across our country as well mentally demanding work in our offices in the admin and I.T departments. Black men are no nonsense hard workers and the most trustworthy of all. I as a white person know this as I have only had good experiences working with black men in the various companies I worked for. Black men are also the best friends that any person can make regardless of their race, there are a few racist bad apples I wont lie (but that applies to all race groups) but the vast majority of black men and black woman are wonderful, caring and family orientated and work hard and are successful through that hard work. Thank you 🙏

  • @TheFundiOne
    @TheFundiOne Před 4 měsíci

    This is purely from memory: Talking about the deliberate connection between Gareth's and DJ Fresh's radio shows on 5 FM, I remember Gareth announcing that he was going to leave his then prime slot to allow for Fresh to move in, and I especially remember how Gareth emphasised how good Fresh was to his, presumably, white audience. Now, I understand that context much better.
    Great interview 👍
