The importance of a father to a child. Even at 64 he still suffers the scares of not having that presence. Apart from that, Mr. Don is by far one of the best actors SA has to offer. BIG UP!
The self contemplation that occurs after watching these interviews is so unbelievable... This channel is such an amazing institution, top tier in every category... It's such an honour and a blessing to see Bab' Don Mlangeni and listening to him sharing his story. To see him cry really broke my heart... I love his work. He has been outstanding in every character on screen, but I think " Hlala kwabafileyo" really showed us his incredible talent. So grateful for this interview.
Totally agree 💯 with Ntate Mlangeni Nawa, we're experiencing a moral decay and television is at the centre of it with pushing that rot...I was debating with a friend that "Adulting" on Netflix is nonsense and nothing to build a young mind. It's really sad,they really are imposing all this nonsense on us
I was also touched. Our parents have hurt us in deep ways but the saddest part about the whole thing is that they are in denial and we are expected to give them what they failed to give us because they are ageing. 😢😢😢
Watching such interviews makes you connect with old people you grew up seeing on TV everyday. It makes you feel like you are breathing the same air with them. Mr Mashabela is mastering this podcasting thing. You can watch hia 3 hour episode and it feels like 20 minutes.
Yhoooo his last words😢😢….thats my take on these shows as well, the disrespect , disgrace and shame we consume in these shows as black people is beyond sad. I did an auto-ethnography research last year and uzalo was my reference. I had to interview some of the cast and directors and the results were unbelievable. Shows like uZalo aren’t the most watched but they are easily accessible. No one would watch uZalo if they have access to Netflix, Disney or Prime-video. Whats more sad is that SABC doesn’t easily accept proposals from unknown people they prefer the same people who creates garbage for viewers. Thank you for bringing utata wesizwe to your studios. We love and appreciate his contribution to this industry. By “we” I mean me and my family and those who agree with me🤭.
The character of Hlala kwabafileyo is one that is most parts i will always remember him by..................he excelled in that role🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
This has to be my number 1 Podcast, I mean David interview skills are top. He allows the guest to relax and be comfortable and speak without interrupting. Everything is done step by step and with context. I salute you bra Dave
I couldn't have said it any better Nhlanhla! David applies naturality throughout his interviews....hence we find it easy to connect, for he first allows his guests ease
@@sibusisodlamini814 You are right Sbu, there was a time Bro Don wanted to say something about his 1st Wife and was interrupted that was lost in the conversation. We can’t be too hard on him, he’ll improve with time as he goes back to reflect…
I don't think I can ever watch King David and not be grateful for my life and circumstances, you keep raising the bar 🎉🎉 thank you Bab' Don for gracing us with your presence ❤
Gibson Mthuthuzeli Kente, what a legend, its good to witness the huge impact he played in the theatre industry by producing renowned artists like Bra Don Mlangeni Nawa. I think as Black South Africans we need to go back to the basics when we were the POETs “Purveyors of excellent talents”.
I really got entertained when Bra Don was mimicking uTatu Gibson Kente, accurate. My dad would make us shut up everytime Bra Gib was on screen as a kid. That voice is unmistakable. I enjoyed getting to see 'ubuntu' baka Mr Mlangeni Nawa. Vulnerability. Enkosi Mr.
Thank you so much for this interview, I wish Mam Daphne Hlomuka, Henry Cele, Menzi Ngubane and Bab'Joe Mafela and others were alive so we can hear their journeys. Please do not forget to invite the legendary Magic Hlatshwayo and Nomsa Xaba.
Thank you and keep honouring our legends, they made our hard lives bearable because you had something to run home to at 8:30, when electricity was there. Great job guys, cheers
“The revolution will never be televised.” Thank you Bra Don for putting your head on the chopping block…these are the kinds of shows that we need more as South Africans to remind us where we have been and where need to head. ❤
You can see Bra Dave did his research and homework, but his ability to connect and be natural while keeping the conversation natural is amazing! Amazing podcast breathtaking content!
I love interviews with ppl who have been in the industry for a long time, they tell it as it is cos they are not afraid that they will step on ppls toes and not get work in the future.
David you are such a humane individual my brother! The reason I find it easy to follow your broadcasting it's a combination of sincerity, honesty, dignity....I like how you handle moments when your guest breaks down due to emotions. What you do may seem effortless at a distance, however it takes real mental composure for you to deliver this beauty.
The work you do King. The research and precision you put into interviews. How you take us on a journey with your guests. My mom and I grew closer from listening to your radio show, I got to relive my childhood because of the music you play and we would talk about stories from that time, now we compete on who watched the latest episode of the podcast first. I remember how upset we were gore you came to Ga-Rankuwa and we only found out after. Thank you for your work. May God continue to bless you and the work you do. We thank you and we love you.
Thanks Mdeva for bringing our Legend , we really appreciate it , keep up the lovely Job King David, Another sting bra Mdeva please get us other legends like Mdu Masielela, Nimrod Nkosi, Connie Ferguson, Mfundi Mvundla as well eish the least is endless, I love that legend am thinking Ubambo lwami.❤❤
The final thoughts about the trends in our film production space are appreciated and require thorough interrogation by all involved, especially the part around what these latest productions wish to achieve and portray about our culture and people. Thanks Bra LaQhasha👏
Showcasing real life experiences 👏🏾Giving legends platform to tell their stories yazi kumnandi njani hearing it from the horse’s mouth inalanto👌🏾👏🏾Thank you for bringing Bra Don Mlangeni ,iyabulela ilali👏🏾
He is a legend, thank you king David for honoring this legends and giving them their flowers while they are still alive, I so wish you can interview ntate Mbongeni Ngema one day.
Wow! Ntate Mashabela I'm touched 🥲. There's nothing touching to me than never knowing my father at age 39, he has never come for me. 😔🤦♀️so sad. I do relate to how Bra Don feels about this.
Excellent job as always David. Where else could we have enjoyed Don's life story told so honestly and generously? Please keep them coming. These conversations are very important, on top of being intertaining. My only criticism is that he didn't touch on his role on Ubambo Lwam - which is one of my favourite shows from the 90's.
What a gem of an interview, I was born in the late 80s I can see the ship sinking right before my eyes, television is garbage. The only thing I consume from TV is sports and then podcasts on the internet. Thanks bra David
David thank you for these insightful shows. I’m watching you in New York, Long Island. I’m really enjoying them. I remember bro Sugar from the days of Gibson Kent. I visited Johannesburg as a teenager and met him at his friend’s house Macintosh in Dubé extension. They were still reminiscing about their previous scenes in Gibson shows. Waaaw where has the time gone 😂
King David, thank you for taking us through memory lane. I like it when you say "askies" when bro Zeb is crying. Quite a touching growing up story. As old black families, we really have sad stories. Imagine a mother choosing marriage over her son. Ntate Mashabela ka mosebetsi wa gago RESPECT.
Brilliant interview, I grew up watching that man. So smart, intelligent. Nigerians are taking over our country and they thriving in movies. That’s what we watch mostly in America. Our movies are few! Why!!????.
Thanks again for hosting Tà Don. His incredible story lived by thousands of our youth who don't have a rich foundation from home. But He allowed nothing to stop Him for reaching His maybe His altimate goal. What a story. Thanks again your majesty 🙏✨️
Some parts had me in tears, stru hee...heavy corners. It can't be that one interview after another we hear of industry humps like this and nothing is giving. Plan of action is required, let's start a campaign or petition of sorts ...something. We can even explore a fund incl legal department for our deserving legends/artists - Let's have a planning session, tu. What a legend!!!!! Thank you and Pele ya Pele hle
I love that he mentioned Stirtonville, which gave birth to Voslorus and Actonville. I always wonder why with all the name change reiger park was not renamed back to its original name. Reiger park the name honours Jan van Riebeck since it’s named after one of Jan van riebecks three ships, Reiger , drommedaris and Goedehoop. It’s appalling that in this day and age we still have schools in Reiger park named after the three ships
The colored people would never have been here if not for those 3 ships . You need to know your history after Van Riebeek landed it was more than 200 years before those colonies grew long after Van Riebeek..
Mdeva my guy you were born for this your interviewing skills top notch, Love love it even listen to you on radio 🍒on top,, Bra Don the legendary we are blessed to have this people in our country,🙌 🇿🇦
Wow , enjoyed this , wow childhood trauma is real and as men we gotta speak up , 100% spot on about current content on TV it makes fun of us Black people and its called entertainment , abo moja tv or whatever its called .
😊 Thank you for bringing Ubaba to your space wow love this man his down to earth and his aura nje is amazing, love how he pray tells his life story and experiences
Bab Don Mlangeni as Mhlongo on Hlala kwabafileyo he killed that character called him Mhlongo till in 2010's bra zeb his got quite a great catalogue Dankie bra Dave for giving people their flowers while they can still smell them....
Wow king david podcasts should be on tv honestly, the level of intergrity this man carries is beyond,it takes a lot of experience to make people feel comfortable and easy to talk to.
The importance of a father to a child. Even at 64 he still suffers the scares of not having that presence.
Apart from that, Mr. Don is by far one of the best actors SA has to offer. BIG UP!
Bra Mdeva please add pictures/faces of legends that the guest will be referring to when telling their stories....
it will do us good honestly
Danko

I wish Joe Mafela was still alive to also share he's journey on KingDavidPodcast 😢
He did one interview lately but not with king David
Of all the roles he played , Solomon Zakhe Mhlongo was well performed and surely deserves an award
I will also refer to him as Zakhe Mhlongo. He killed that role!!
David found his niche 👌🏽
He did hey… weirdly enough I was thinking about that same thing a week ago
Indeed
Too much
Very true and I'm enjoying his podcasts so much and he has introduced me to podcasts
True!
"Generations was glits and glamor but no substance.." Savage but true🤣
When he broke down.. that kinda touched me… most men have been through a lot 😢.. and unfortunately some they choose to conceal their emotions..
Please share the time stamp, I fell asleep and then just continued with the hope that I would come across that😢

43 years of experience. He's well within he's right to be political about this industry, he knows what he's talking about.
Every time I come here, I'm inspired to be a better person, to be kinder and more mindful about how I treat others. What a legend!
I'm 30 years old today. The first show I was ever addicted to was Hlaka Kwabafileyo and this man absolutely nailed that character! I love this man!
I loved that so much bathong!
@@Bee-dp3stI loved his wife Mrs Jessie Mhlongo😂❤entlek they complemented each other
He said he has always expressed himself and sure he did, he expressed himself. Men cry. May God bless him.
I haven't cried as much as I cried today through this interview.
I have so much respect for Ntate Don Mlangeni 🙏❤

Right it brought back so many memories that I even forgot 🥺
Yhoooo his last words😢😢….thats my take on these shows as well, the disrespect , disgrace and shame we consume in these shows as black people is beyond sad. I did an auto-ethnography research last year and uzalo was my reference. I had to interview some of the cast and directors and the results were unbelievable. Shows like uZalo aren’t the most watched but they are easily accessible. No one would watch uZalo if they have access to Netflix, Disney or Prime-video.

The last proper tv show I watched ke Isidingo….I don’t understand how people still watch tv to this day.
I would love to read your dissertation. What's your full name?
Can they bring back isidingo with the same cast and different management. This was a brilliant show
The character of Hlala kwabafileyo is one that is most parts i will always remember him by..................he excelled in that role🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

I really liked me on Hlalakwabafileyo ,he nailed it.But he is good in anything he does.
I normally indulge once on each podcast/guest. However, I found myself repeating this one. Is like eating a soup with a fork. Cant get enough.
Hola 👊🏾🙏🏾
