    I could listen to Bab' Sithole for hours, his story telling is impeccable. He just took me back to a time where our country was vibrant and full of hope. Ngesi Xhosa ndinga mbiza igqirha le ngoma, meaning he heals through music. He is so powerful, God bless his soul. Thanks guys.

    What a profound man. Can't believe I never heard about him till this episode. Another reason why the podcast should be celebrated for bringing South African gold to its own people. Your reaction to him writing Wethembisile by Unathi was not big enough. lol. One of the greatest songs of the 2000s decade. The fact that he composed those 4 songs from Zabalaz also is just crazy. A phenomenal man

    Guys, is it just me or was this episode something else? It’s not obvious like the many other impactful/entertaining episodes but I feel different after watching this. I feel lighter, more at peace and I need to hear more from this elder. This was awesome and spiritual for me. Curious to see if anyone else feels the same because I can’t pin point why this interview is making me feel like this. Either way thank you God for these people❤

      You are not the only one, I am so emotional. Bab'Sithole just took me back to a time when our country was so vibrant and full of hope. He reignited something in me, I just can't say what but he brought me joy and comfort. At some point I was hoping Mac would just let him speak without questioning and the camera rolls nje. I was going through the comments just to pick up if indeed I was the only person who felt a type of way, so powerful.

      The feeling is mutual, this is the feeling I failed to get when I tried watching "Spreading Humor"(no intention to diss the 2Ks). This guy is a tank of Wisdom and a lot of chillers might sleep on him because he is not that well known (almost fell in the same trap).

    I absolutely loved and thoroughly enjoyed this interview /conversation really. The history, the stories behind our amazing South African legends, legendary groups and timeless hits, are amazing to hear. I have a suggestion for McGyver, is it possible to have a legendary show on your network particularly for the older audience with our legendary artists sharing such stories with someone older curating the show much like what you've done with Spreading Humour A.K.A 'The Bantwizies'. This can be hosted by a seasoned broadcaster in the industry that is well known and respected to pull the older generation to your channel too. And because you already have the young ones subscribed, this could also be a great way to educate and inform them. This means we are preserve our history, telling it ourselves and celebrating more of our living legends.
    Just a suggestion, otherwise, a job well done with this channel!!!

    When he talked about 1808, Splash Jam, Black Sunday and Slaghuis, I knew he knows where South African Hip Hop came from, so many big artists came from there. This interview has so much insight and very useful to those who are looking into venturing into music. Thanks for the knowledge Bab’ Sipho Sithole.
