When COPE started ,I gave them my offices in Sandton , they stayed there through the elections and a bit thereafter . My interest wasn't supporting them , it was supporting democracy. Mr Lekota thanked me , his partner Mbaziina ,at the time never did, although his wife did . I have great respect for Mr Lekota
Lekota l admire you imput about our democracy ,but one l don't understand what you are saying now is unlikely you said when you left porples party so called ANC you said you will serve under presidency who leads by Zuma who you regarded as your enemy but you speak like him when you guys fail to respect what the rules are saying l mean the rule of your own revolutionary borganisation that what you confuse me totaly that my take and full stop.
Great episode 👏 again Dr. Sizwe. I respect 🙏 anyone who stood up against apartheid, like ntate Lekota. Where COPE loose is what ntate Lekota has written on his t-shirt 👕 "defending the constitution" though I understand where they are coming from, and our constitution is great in many ways, it must be amended also in many areas.
The only people that want the Constitution amended, are those who have a racist agenda. It is not surprising that it is recognised as arguably the best Constitution in the modern world by many from all over the world. BTW by racist, I mean racist, irrespective of the person being white, black, brown or any other 'colour'.
Sizwe you are so graceful, recognizing age is a diversity to be respected. If only Mr Lekota could have had an understudy to mentor into his large boots of history and experience.
I like how Sizwe listens and engages with Mr Lekota. The level of respect is so beautiful. ❤ I'd like to hear him with Reverend Keneth Meshoe. I think it will be nice.
I have to tell you, when Mr Lekota came to find me in my own building , I felt so inadequate in his presence. He then made me so comfortable , I will never forget that . What a great man ,I felt so privileged to be in his company, God bless Him.
Ntate Lekota I like the way you respect the constitution of the country. Honestly you are the only politician who was adamant that we are making a huge mistake by electing JZ as President of the country. I salute you for being true to your words.
You respecting him for taking a sellout position! These guys are protecting what they have gained. They have farms and millions of rand through Black Empowerment Policy!
Sizwe is a natural listener and get the guests to be comfortable and then bring out the most important information in the making other than interjecting and talking over each other. The Ramaphosa issue is consistent with what Lekota said in parliament
5 years ago was veeeeery late, he knew as early as in the 70s more than 50 years ago that Ramaphosa sold out,actually went to jail knowing very well that Ramram sold him out.. then came back from jail said nothing about that,he went on in 1991 to elect Ramaphosa as the SG of ANC and worked with him throughout the years until 2007 when Polokwane conference came and elected Zuma as ANC President and hell broke loose,only then Lekota realized hei😮Ramaphosa sold me out in the 70s and now everyone has to believe him I for one i might believe that but i also believe the masters of selling out this nation was the likes of Lekota and Zuma, how did they allow themselves to work with a sellout all the years, they should have resigned from the ANC as early as 1991.
What one can do you don't want to be assissinated like Hani which till date knows who sold him out like at workplace you always suckup decision whether you like I quote advocate skhakhane nobody wants his double story house to be taken away cars etc
@@siyabongamanikivana9170 that would mean they were cowards and not selfless as they always claimed, I thought they were in the struggle for the people not for themselves Real Revolutionaries were always prepared to die for the principle of liberating this nation and pay the ultimate price if necessary like boSolomon Mahlangu
Terror Lekota is possibly the only ANC politician that could have led SA out of the mess we find ourselves in. He is a humble peace loving man. Pity the ANC did not agree with his views.
We Thank Ntate Lekota for his service to the freedom we have today but as for voting for him and his party hai as a young person I don’t see any push for me to even consider them. It was a nice trip down memory lane and confirming vele that Cyril is stooge of note!
Best episode so far! I enjoyed watching ur show. I am from the United States and am not even from South Africa but your show have teach me how politics work in South Africa.
This was Beautiful episode. History is beautiful. Can we dedicate post elections content to documenting history. Thank you Dr Sizwe for always handling your guest's stories with dignity and honor
TL good honest man with strong morals, he stands tall and has let many use his shoulders to reach their goals, thank you terror,youve made the game better for all.
Thanks Sizwe for your continued effort of bringing issues of our national history and interest to the fore. Indeed your podcast is enlightening the public and it has not disappointed in carrying out that mission. This interview with Mr Lekota is a very important reminder that the politics we have grown accustomed to that is characterized by selfishness and greed at the expense of the plight of the needy has not always been the attitude and motivating factor for our political forebears who were and remain stalwarts of note. I hope that the young people who are involved in politics will learn and take their queues from people like Mr Lekota who viewed their involvement as a calling to serve by helping to improve the lives of others and do everything possible to see that objective met. Today we have many career politicians who are in it only for the politics of the stomach. Unfortunately the young people have climbed on the gravey train for quick self-enrichment opportunities at the detriment of the suffering communities. It is sad that we are pointing to a generation of men and women who stood the course and sacrificed greatly only for the younger crop of political leaders to mess it up. Today it is difficult to find young political leaders of the attitude and caliber of the Mandelas, the Sisulus, the Kathradas, the Fischers, and the Lekotas in our political landscape who are selfless in their pursuit of politics. They seem not to care about the plight of the needy. They prefer to quote leaders like Thomas Ssnkara but lead opposite lives styles than his, Fidel Castro and lead lives that are different in all respects to his. Who is fooling who? It is said that you can take a horse to the water but cannot force if to drink. Mr Lekota and his generation and those who came before them laid a foundation and paved a way for generations of political leaders after them to follow and if young political leaders fail in following their examples then it can only mean that the young political leaders have decided to do their own thing. Continue to do the best you are doing to enlighten us Sizwe and if we do not change then it will be our choice not to.
My late father who was a police officer during your incarceration at Soweto, never stopped talking about his experiences with you when he was an orderly, be always said you were resolute in the belief that you will govern this country
I am immensely grateful for the perspective shared by Comrade Lekota. I'm, indeed, very proud of him and others who genuinely fought for racial equality in South Africa.
Don't underestimate the enormous sacrifices Mr Lekota made during the era of struggle. I have much respect and gratitude! Don't judge him based on his recent years only, where he has become a bit odd in his public stance (such as aligning with neo-apartheid Afrikaners Forum). Learning about his stroke (and other health challenges) it might explain and excuse some of his more odd behaviours in recent years. I hope Mr Lekota finds the strength to retire and enjoy his old age (I know it can be difficult to leave active politics, if you were politically active all of your life).
South Africans, there is no perfect leader but the Zuma you shoot down was your best and will be your best. Minus the lies of theft on him he took blacks forward.
Which blacks are you talking about? The Guptas, Brian Molefe and the likes? The masses of unemployed blacks from the time he was the president will be angry with you.
Please explain how Zuma was the best when his own comrades called his presidency 9 wasted years? They say he made more black millionaires but where are those businesses now? You cannot run a business on political connections, when your connection leaves, your fake business fails.
Sometimes great leaders don't know when to stop. Sir, I suggest you buy a small farm next to a local church and move there with your family and create new and beautiful memories. Your service to the struggle of our country will never be forgotten.
Thanks again for an informative discussion - It is such a pity that for so long many of us have had zero exposure to the thoughts , principles and motives of quality citizens such as Mr Lekota. These long format discussions help to craft considered opinions so that we align to team South Africa rather than taking polarised sides that breaks rather than builds. Winning is a better outcome for ALL

Mr Lekota is to me one of the few true liberation leaders who were and are still patriots...to illustrate my point I do not recall him having been implicated in any corrupt activity while he was in the ANC...when he was the Minister of Defence he would not hesitate to dismiss even a very high ranking official who is found to have committed a crime in order to be promoted to the position he or she did not qualified for irrespective of whether the culprit was a comrade or not and...those were and are still clear characteristics of a formidable leader...I understood his anger when he resigned from the ANC after Former President Thabo Mbeki was unceremoniously recalled as the State President...Cope was a promising opposition leader but unfortunately he was let down by those members who were not patriotic leaders but leaders interested in their personal interests hence it was easy for some of them to be influenced by the ANC to leave Cope and rejoin the ANC...
I hope these details of history get written in books before these leaders of the African struggle exit this life. The younger generation will need to know where they come from, and what better way than to have the stories told by those who were there
People were blaming him for suggesting that president Mbeki should have a safe presidential plane. I personally think that he was right on that to make sure that the then president was safe and could also be able to relax and do the presidential duties while flying. He should be commended for that.He also correct in his take to accommodating every South Africans in South Africa.To see it important to exit ANC was bravery and necessary for him. Its good to see you so well and fit. May God be with you further into the promising future. Get well Mr Lekota. There was no 9 wasted years even if Zuma was ever been put in court and resistance against him but there is a lot that he managed to do.Trains,univerities, schools, courts, taking care of elderly people,they were getting paid on time, he managed and curbed criminal activities. U'll remember the barret policing forces that were really active.
Zuma did nothing!!! If ever there was something done during his presidency must be credited to the government he led and not him Otherwise he can be credited for being manipulated by three young Indian boys(Guptas) who advised him who appoint in his cabinet and letting them lend their private jet at a national key point Waterkloof,those were some of his personal archivements.
I admire you for your courage Mr Lekota for exposing Ramaphosa’s traitorship in parliament. That was the first step towards the right direction to liberate SA because everyone saw him as a saint. Uyinkunzi! Viva MK! Viva Mhlanganyelwa!
Thank you for a interesting and enlightening discussion. I am shocked that Comrades were locked up for what I see as peace making intentions. I see this as a really dumb move on there behalf. Lekota I admire your tenacity and the way you stick to your principles.
I understand Ntate Lekota it is normal not to like to repeat talking about bad experiences of our lives.Telling these stories is necessary for the youth .Viva Ntate Lekota.!!!

Ntate Lekota has served his purpose. All he needs to do now is to go and enjoy his retirement with his family. Active politics isn't for him any longer.

Sinzwe, thank you for being an absolute gentleman to the comrade! But we were expecting knives, where are the knives that comrade alluded to during the parliamentary session? People power vs old faithful? Aloota Continua!
Thanks to young people with their podcasts we now listen to stories from true owners of the stories, instead of narratives driven by white monopoly capital media
I believe what he's not saying and will never say it..... How did he allow himself to work with the "sellout" all the years because he knew not 5 years ago but 50 years that Ramram sold him out,that alone makes him the master sellout himself Terror Lekota and Jacob Zuma
This legend needs to rest now. He's given so much of his life to us. We're forever grateful, Mr. Lekota. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Mr Lekota thank you 4 UR strength and dedication 2 fighting 4 the 🇿🇦South Africa 30yrs democracy free from Apartheid❤️
Lekota's views on the land issue do not resonate with his "dedication to the struggle". With Ramaphosa, I suspect political jeolousy.
Unfortunately destroyed by the government, insulting those who fought for that freedom.
The current government has duty to fix what was messed up, so the ANC is still the organization of the people, generally.

such a shame and I voted for them twice, this time, undecided, seems like a wasted vote :(
I hope these details of history get written in books before these leaders of the African struggle exit this life. The younger generation will need to know where they come from, and what better way than to have the stories told by those who were there

Respected sir
Time bits Six for future episodes. Thank u
The ANC betrayed us
Tnx boi for your respect towards our elder
Even during Codesa... Ramadollar excelled in Selling out
I admire you for your courage Mr Lekota for exposing Ramaphosa’s traitorship in parliament. That was the first step towards the right direction to liberate SA because everyone saw him as a saint. Uyinkunzi! Viva MK! Viva Mhlanganyelwa!
So he campaigned for a sellout to be SG in 91?
Thank you for a interesting and enlightening discussion. I am shocked that Comrades were locked up for what I see as peace making intentions. I see this as a really dumb move on there behalf. Lekota I admire your tenacity and the way you stick to your principles.
These were true fighters, NOT the other one called Cyril.
Yhooo 😮😮😮😮😮😮
I understand Ntate Lekota it is normal not to like to repeat talking about bad experiences of our lives.Telling these stories is necessary for the youth .Viva Ntate Lekota.!!!
Cope and the ACDP should have merged, they could have made a difference
Sadly, COPE numbers have dwindled to even be left out from consideration to be roped in for the formation of Government of National Unity😥
Amazing Interview, our eyes open daily - SideNote: Sound guy needs to check for future productions, the Stereo Audio is LEFT only but overall the PRODUCTION 10/10
Noted. Thank you! 👊🏼
Jabulani Khumalo of Mbeki feels resonated by Phalaphala 9 wasted years. No president development SA more than Zuma. Mandela focused on quotable quotes. Mbeki administrator Ramaphosa came to destroy anc
Mr Lekota is evidently tired 😩 his voice says it all
All of them including Zuma
Ntate Lekota has served his purpose. All he needs to do now is to go and enjoy his retirement with his family. Active politics isn't for him any longer.
I don't like it , when people like you , tell others to retire, ... Elders in Africa don't retire.... retire from what ??purpose... There's always work to do in life... People are retired by death only....
@@senzomemela1311The government itself retires people all the time. The concept of retirement comes from the government (which he is part of) and is proudly upheld by them when it comes to the rest of us.
@@outclasstours1342 politics is not employment, ...you are there to represent the people,..who are the true government...Politics is about work not employment...
@@senzomemela1311 That is just wordplay, semantics. The truth is different. It's what they want us to believe. Healthcare and teaching professions are also a calling, supposedly.
@@outclasstours1342 not really,..work is about purpose...job is about a salary...
No matter how good a dancer you are, you must leave the stage. It is important to know when to step back or move on.
Man of integrity, not that sell out Ramaphosa
Dr Sizwe Mpofu Walsh unenhlonipho futhi nentobeko, Siyabonga Mnumzane loko kwenza ulaleleke mfowethu
Last kick of the dying horse
Prostatr cancer, two strokes, and a heart attack. Please retire now. You don't have to be crisscrossing the country for politics. Your grandchildren need you. They need to hear your stories, otherwise your legacy will be lived by others
Sinzwe, thank you for being an absolute gentleman to the comrade! But we were expecting knives, where are the knives that comrade alluded to during the parliamentary session? People power vs old faithful? Aloota Continua!
Wouldnt old SAPS records be digitally saved? This is a big "statement" Mr Lekota has dropped👀😳
They would never allow anyone to have them since they use history to mislead as some part of it is distorted
Suppose to be in Archives of Parliament and courts but we know in Parliament things burnt!
ayeye! MK is here now.,..rest in peace COPE
Lekota has just highlighted the first day Ramaphosa became an asset to Stellenbosch
Sizwe u have loads of patience, just going hm hm while this old guy tries to squeeze his brain for memory.
Could you please ask your technical team to fix the sound on this one? It’s only coming out on the left side
Thanks to young people with their podcasts we now listen to stories from true owners of the stories, instead of narratives driven by white monopoly capital media
There are no nine wasted years... that's why Msholozi is still popular
Who would you believe Mosiuoa Lakota or Cyril Ramaphosa? After listening to this man I know who I would believe.
I believe what he's not saying and will never say it.....
How did he allow himself to work with the "sellout" all the years because he knew not 5 years ago but 50 years that Ramram sold him out,that alone makes him the master sellout himself Terror Lekota and Jacob Zuma
