  3. I completley dont agree with ugogo when it comes to political analysis. But this! this! I mean this! damh! I watched Part 2 before this Part 1. I ddnt even know there was Part 1. Well Part 2 I just had to open a folder in my brain and store the information there in case I might need to refer to it in future😂 because I kinda like hear him and not hear him at the same time😂😂 but I know what he is saying can't just be dissmissed. But this Part 1 I completley follow him👌 I am Motswana but was once told that I have a mix of many ancestors, I mean the emphasis was on many. So I completley follow.

  4. I think the individual being being interviewed is more of a political speaker with a personal view point view wich suits his personal agenda
    and a speaker and healer .But in terms of accuracy of historical narration he is a bit opportunistic and wants to win people with poems wich lack accuracy .He always makes small is takes he majored in history and is not good and needs to improve on his research ability.A small mistake .We very well know Amabhaca are Zulu and worst part from the Mageba clan prior even Shaka was even King of the Zulu his grandfather and great grandfather were not Xhosa.Most bhaca are still Zulu and avery small minority who are in the eastern cape were forced to transform in to being Xhosa and get mocked from assuming their Zulu identity hence the new kids and let to assume they are Zulu .they are one of the last Zulu groups to enter the eastern cape /transkei them and the mfengu who are also Zulu grouping who were ill-treated by the other nguni groups who were colonially classified as Xhosa.Xhosa is colonial classification of the individual groups were independent and fighting amongst each other and individually fighting amongst the British those that did not submit.The colonially classified people today known as the Xhosa where never one like the Zulu whoa are a monarchy and were divided and many chiefs were bribed in to denouncing the Zulu throne.How the Xhosa view Nguni history has a distortion.Even the Hlubi are not a nation but a Zulu clan and mosotho who left under a Zulu chief who fought with one of the Zulu clans still found in mnabithi Amangwane.Alot mental destruction and tribalism influence came from the confusion the British instilled and used black scholars like Tiyo Soga to distort Zulu history hence a lot of Xhosa of Zulu origin have this tendency of denouncing their origin.Most of how they view history needs to ber rectified it is not according to structure.An missing o titles and dates.And Botswana is not Lesotho.It seemed like he wanted to impress and belong.Mosotho or Msuthu was moshoeshoe and he descends from the Nguni who are now classified the Zulu hence I say as a Xhosa the interviewee needs assistance and help.I believe being a healer is more spiritual but in terms of historical accuracy most of south African scholars have already been mental destructed with distorted information wich was purposeful construct by the colonisers and later apartheid forces.I know later people will later edit photocopy twist my narration and make it theirs.Some i feel his talents are as a speaker a poet and he could have been perfect for the dramatic arts.But people must remember going out on social platforms with distorted historical narrations will confuse people.From 94 a lot of black scholars have further corrupted the historical narration of our a south African native people and i think also political influenced plays a major role the distortion.But yet again nobody is perfect.We need to address the colonial construct of him as a Xhosa without touching the Zulu topic because.None the less great topic,great guest despite be having reasons for not agreeing.If you see continuous interviews and a person having certain talents but being able to trace that that foundation of his information is not correct.Remember nobody is perfect and in some mistakes there are partial truths and something to learn.Most of the information about Nguni history coming from the western cape influenced the eastern cape and has major distortion on south African history and created pride and anger and a level of not understanding amongst certain individual and that how the colonizer purposely created tribalism and certain people to denounce their true identity and go with a favorite one.People must be careful on coming to social platforms with unsure stories rather stick to topics they know.Distortions affect a lot of black scholars and individuals credibility and most are not aware it will be used against them if needs be at a later stage hence people must be very careful if they take public platforms.I was gonna keep quite but I see a trend.It still feels there is and outside influenced payed to get certain black scholars to distort information .it first starts with directing them in the wrong direction and giving them academic and social title

  11. I wonder if the Ngunis or Ndawes have not reconciled at a spiritual level. I say that because during a cleansing process called "ukufemba", the healer who is performing the cleansing would summon the Ndawe ancestor to do the cleansing.

    Ndawe ancestor would be speaking a foreign language through the healer, s/he then calls Nguni ancestor to translate in Nguni what s/he was saying during the cleansing. I doubt if we are spiritually disjointed with Ndawe /Ndzawe.

  12. Once I had shared this with somebody prominent and a friend that the pain that the Afrikaners suffered during the first world war in 1881 and 1889 mistakenly called the Boer War was so equally a pain taking into account what the Afrikaners endured. Not in any strick of attempt down playing the immense suffering the Africans went through at conguest. May the Gods of Afrika keep for generations the genius of Gogo Aubrey Matshiqi.

  14. Ntsiki. Thank you so much for extending insight towards our end! Gogo is a rare breed of a thinker, he helps me augment my thinking capacity. Thank you for bringing 'independent' minds, that epitomises the independency of this platform.

  21. "What have we taught our children" 💔💔💔 as a 'Zimbabwean' woman living in South Africa, my deepest fear is being attacked because i can not speak any of the South African languages. Yet when i trace my paternal blood line my father's father is of SA origin and settled in Zim during Apartheid. how do i explain that when i sit ndichikumbirira (to pahla) i am asking for protection even though i am walking on the land in which my ancestors are buried. will I be able to convince "them" quick enough before they drop a burning tire around my neck for being a "kwerekwere". we are one but we are blinded to it… "what have we taught our children" 💔💔💔💔

  28. As amaXhosa are also found in Botswana, the clan names he recited in the beginning are also of Duma Gideon Boko the leader of the UDC party in Botswana. I heard his mother reciting them while wishing him happy birthday. The connection of Botswana and South Africa through tribes like amaXhosa, Batswana and Basotho is unknown to many because this three tribes migrated from South Africa to what is now Botswana during mfecane wars and the boer trek.
