Sisacela abuye lo baba please there's a lot of things to be unpacked and a lot of things to learn, he's a such a powerhouse, we really need him to come back struu🎉
I second you we have a lot of questions and I think he is the only one who can enlighten us. We wanna know about Orania and why is that no action has been taken against it yet we live in a "democratic and equity country " why was bophutatswana demolished but Orania is still there?
The man was clearly ahead of his time, a visionary of note. Some of us experienced this reality and we will forever remember his legacy. Ko lehatsheng la kgomo le mabele .
I'm so happy that people like this guy and J maponga, are building libraries on such topics. Even thou it looks hopeless now with the establishment having such a stronghold over everything, Indoctrinating the next generations with this type of education, is the only hope we have, of ever seeing a new status quo despite it never going to materialize in our life times.
Regarding Mangope, the problems began when we believed the media over our parents’ lived experience in Bophuthatwana. The one thing I know is that he was a law and order champion. If you behaved in a way that was disruptive to society then you would be corrected. Hence you wouldn’t find a cigarette bud anywhere in any CBD of Bophutatswana. The man gave black people (Batswana in particular) a sense of dignity and full exploitation of what it meant to be a modern African in the 20th century. As a result, there was harmony. You didn’t have time to be a nyaope boy because you were kept busy with choir practice, soccer, debate, majorettes etc.
My jaw dropped to the ground! After watching this video, add to it the stories about the ANC having sold us, I can’t help but cry for my country and my people! In actuality what did the ANC free us from exactly??? When will our so-called leaders be the epitome of excellence and lead their people to absolute freedom, politically, economically and socially 😢😢😢
Even Bab'Credo spoke about the hidden underground city in NW near Sun City, the place is so powerful that the cultists used the area to harvest spiritual power, he narrates it beautifully, I got goosebumps and didn't like the modern SunCity since then. The NW was stolen and left to deteriorate deliberately but it is very rich. Same thing was done to Zim, Mugabe was demonized. Beautiful interview❤ the real Kgosi Mangope will be known in this lifetime. Yeah install the monarchy but remove the colonized monarchs
I proudly hail from Taung, it was the best place to grow up in, we were so advanced that we couldn't compare to anyone. At the Dawn of the new dispensation, graduates from Bophutatswana went to Gauteng and all these places to formalize and upgrade the public service.
Very interesting interview,no wonder most of the Batswana people who lived under the leadership of Kgosi Mangope sing his praises till this day.May his soul continue to rest in peace...I would encourage you guys to bring a part 2/follow up interview
Yoh what a a great episode. The best podcast I have ever watched about Africa. We need people like these. I need to study more about Bophutatswana, I always knew Mangope as someone the media has painted. No wonder my grandma always said he was the best and I couldn’t understand why.
@@godwillpulesnr9635State funeral for a sellout. None of the former homeland leaders ever got a state funeral, not even KD Matanzima who was Mandela's nephew by lineage. The political imbecility of the erstwhile bophuthatswanians used to frustrate me even back then. There was no country called bophuthatswana, Transkei, Ciskei or Venda. Homelands were extreme Apartheid.
Where can we find the detailed economic model of Bophutatswana? Also is there any possibility that Ntate Vusyisile can write a book about this information? In my view this needs to be documented properly and preserved. Mind Blowing interview!
I moved to Madikwe District in 1989, today in Moses Kotane, after my formative years in Tembisa, East Rand. One thing that really strike me about Bop, was emphasis on higher education. Seeing people graduating at the university live on Mmabatho TV and Bop TV. Education was big in Bophuthatswana. He was big on rural development, and there was significant investment in agriculture, water investment in water for livestock and cattle ranches. So subsistence farming was encouraged. When I visited Mmabatho for the first time in 1991, I could not believe my eyes. Black excellence was in full swing. Seeing shopping malls, Mega City, City busses, black people living a true middle class life. People going to Mmabana arts, in Zeerust, it was the same, there was so much optimism among black people. Came 94, everything that Mangope built disintegrate. Today, Mafikeng entse e tshetla given that it is part of Kgalagadi.
It was socialist, which is why there were low levels of most social ills of today. High literacy due to a socialist policy on education up to tertiary. Access to good quality health care, even in remote areas because he capacitated his health administration very well, and made state provided health care available to everyone. Road infrastructure was consistently maintained because he insourced most of his public works. Built a university using contributions from the community. Encouraged and supported small-medium enterprises. He did a lot, in terms of his ideas for development. But he was also an ethno-nationalist that was suspicious of anyone that wasn't a Motswana native, so non-Tswana speakers were often made to feel otherwise, even if they married a tswana person and came to boputhatswana to contribute. His legacy isn't perfect, but theres lots to learn from his approach to development.
I'm from Mogwase in the pilanesburg and I can tell you now, he is right when he says Tau Tona developed his people's mental state as well. Today there is some certain level of depression found and understood only by those who have experienced the shift from Bophuthatswana to South Africa.
I am a witness to what was said here by bro Charles. I have visited Bophutatswana in 88 to 1990. My family stays in ledig Sun City was just a walk away from home and BTH busses traveled the entire country. I traveled with them from Carletonville to king William's town many times.
Brilliant interview! I grew up in Soweto and have beautiful memories of traveling to Mafikeng to visit family in the late 80's. They even had a favorable tax regime back then. My Dad told me that it was actually cheaper to drive there and buy furniture and clothes from Mega city than in Jo'burg. They were truly thriving! Tragic how it all fell apart so quick. That business model must be restored
Naare Ntsiki o maketse. Bop is the epitome of black excellence. He did not even talk about law and order in Bop. There was Bopsol, Bop Broadcast, Unibo etc
@savagetau7380 Bopsol is Bophuthatswana Soccer League. RHUU Radebe, Peter Matsitse, Tebogo Moloi, Makuka Makinta, Percy Makweba used to play there mate.
This is amazing, we need him back. The proof is in the pudding. Look at Kgosi Mangope RDP houses vs ANC ‘s. Those RDP’s are worth at least R1M a lot of them
I can't get enough of this episode. Watching it for the 3rd time. This same stories I've heard them from my great grandmothe, she'd be 109 years this year ❤

@@sibusisonkosi6506 There were white ministers in his cabinet, and there we also many people of different ethnicities in Bop, so no, he wasn't all about Batswana.

@@MmusiMoaisi my mother was 2nd generation Swati born ko Tlhabane, I'm 3rd. I speak only of her experience growing up in Bop. My grandfather became Bop MP after bo di Robben Island. So I know what I'm talking about.
@@nomagcisacawe3297 No they did not self destruct. That is not true. Misinformation. They were systematically destroyed. From 1955 the communist sponsors in Europe chose the ANC at the beneficiaries funding and support because the ANC was fertile to foreign influences.

Im proud to say am from Mafikeng in a village near town called Magogoe Tlhabologo after this interview I've learn a lot that i didn't know about the history of my home town and its not only me but the majority of youth in mahikeng don't know their roots
I'm not sure about the Mmabatho stadium capacity however he is telling the truth about it's foundation, it is a monument. One of the reasons why Supra visited Rre Mangope was to get plans of the stadium so that he can demolish it and build a hotel.

Mind blowing. Thank you for this interview. I am from Mahikeng, and every time I go back home I'm saddened by the state of my town. Everything has been destroyed.
The man put an airport in Thaba Nchu chief 👌🏾 that’s smack bam in the Free State. Village folk knew what an airplane and airport was because of that man. Imagine what that could do for the average village child’s imagination. Knowing that things like that in the 70’s didn’t only exist on TV
We can only be proud of this man as Batswana.. Thanks for bringing us this important epidose. I just saw the snippet on Facebook and came straight here ❤
Yerrr, I knew there was something good about Mangophe. I'm in North West and people here always refer to Him. I travel to Mahikeng, its a shame to see it being destroyed as is right now.
I have had to watch this episode twice, last night and this morning. Talking about Mahikeng breaks me, those who don't know what Mahikeng stands for know nothing. This was a very informative episode, i wish he can come back again. Ntsiki please ask him which books is he currently reading
ANC messed up Bophuthatswana. It is depressing when you go to Mahikeng and Lehurutshe, if you ever knew what it looked like under Tau Tona. Road infrastructure were intact, the goods train moving agricultural produce was efficiently running, public service without corruption, shoes factories in Mogwase and Babelegi had multiple factories as well, which today are derelict. Silos are standing unused and dilapitation is everywhere. The then border post when entering Lehuretshe from the then RSA, was well looked after, giving the impression that you are 'entering' another country 🤣. They have absolutely destroyed everything that he built. There were plantations and Batswana were into different agricultural projects even producing a type of rice among other produce. Two years ago as I navigated the potholes of Mahikeng I remembered Tau tona saying: ' Mmuso wa mapantiti o tlo go re sotla.'
Bophuthtswana was developed by Pretoria. Where on earth would mangope have got the money to "create" anything. He was an ordinary bahurutse before he sold out and became tau tona.
The Apartheid regime helped Bophuthatswana like they did with all the other homelands so that the people could become self sustainable and uploft the different cultures to be proud and successful. But the anc organised coups and spread propaganda under the youth who destroyed it all. The same is happening to the whole country and you can call and blame the whites as much as you like and want, but the opportunities were there to develop and become self sufficient but black people are told they are slaves, opressed and not equal to whites. If you hear it everyday, you will believe it. The anc stole your pride, dignity. Culture and heritage to make you a black. You hate the Afrikaner because they refuse to lose their identity like you did.
err ntate Charles is a treasure with knowledge that deserve the stage more this bought leaders who are more interest in their own agenda and progressing their financial,colonial master.this is golden knowledge
Ntsiki’s reactions are amazing 😭😂😂😂 this is beautiful knowledge, jaka rele batho ba bantsho tlamile re itsi ngwao kgotsa setso so rona legore reya kae retswa kae☮️❤️🙂Pula
Charles should be made a Township and Village Tourism Champion For Radical Transformation... We desperately need his knowledge urgently I said this in 2015 on Facebook
This conversation was pleasant to listen to. I love to hear history of other tribes from the owners of it. I think North West has been robbed big time of their wealth if history and also the wealth of the land. I hope kings wil come back to power to liberate their people.
I remember during my school days in Bophuthatswana era, boys were taught handwork, girls were doing needle work and cooking. Gardening was compulsory for every learner. Physical training and sports was made compulsory, we had nature reserve clubs at school, boys and girls scouts. Every child was made to attend school.
Damn! damn! damn! Ntsiki, my sister, ausi waka... You keep over delivering these days ✋️ 🫡. I think when you have one of those more, then once guests episodes. You need to have him and Moeletsi Mbeki and have a discussion.
The Africa We Want in 2063 needs Content. I am available for a Second Episode. Ntsiki Mazwai, I am waiting, Thanks again for the Confidence and Leadership. Good Returns with the Future of Africa and the World.
I agree with him on the first part, especially the part about Bophuthwatswana. When he spoke about the monarch that's when me and him lost each other. Where in Africa in 2024 find a King that will work for the good of the people. The chiefs' todays are same as politicians they won't help anyone. Unfortunately, all the information will not help as the world is going to get worse and worse. The world is headed for judgement and there is a saviour who is willing to save. Repent and Believe the Gospel
Bob TV and Bob Radio were hands down the best. I remember the early 90s when their programmes were published in the TV guide. Oh my goodness, they had it all better than we did. All of a sudden Mangope was branded as a dictator and a sell out. ANC fucked us.
Am so emotional when you speak ka Bophuthatswana tjo ANC are truly "Mapantiti" like Kgosi Tau Tona use to call them.. And it all makes sense why they do not refurbish it. They hated that man with passion all because he didn't want to be controlled and steal .
Listening to what this gentleman says, it is exactly how our great Khemetic civilisation in Africa/Alkebulan fell! It was this type of sell out and corrupt leadership like we have now in most countries that led to the fall of the great unparalleled black civilisation in the continent, let alone the whole world 😢

Charles should be made a Township and Village Tourism Champion For Radical Transformation... We desperately need his knowledge urgently I said this in 2015 on Facebook
This conversation was pleasant to listen to. I love to hear history of other tribes from the owners of it. I think North West has been robbed big time of their wealth if history and also the wealth of the land. I hope kings wil come back to power to liberate their people.
Wish to meet you again Ntate Ndabeni.
Thank you sir. This episode made me re-think a lot of things
Incredible man....i learned so much in an hour.
Bravo Vuyisile, I am dumbfounded. We definitely need to build an African University
Enkosi Mamiya for bringing uBaba Ndabeni kufuneka abuye futhi
Great episode sis Ntsiki and Moya team. Siyabonga. Yhoooo ukhongolose 🤔🤐🤫. I'm watching this very distracted today. Ngitobuya ngitobukela futsi.
I did not know the heritage of Makhonjwa mountains. Baba-Ndabeni teaches. He has a wealth of knowledge. A true asset in our country. Camagu...
I can't stop watching. Once is not enough
I remember during my school days in Bophuthatswana era, boys were taught handwork, girls were doing needle work and cooking. Gardening was compulsory for every learner.
Physical training and sports was made compulsory, we had nature reserve clubs at school, boys and girls scouts. Every child was made to attend school.
Thank you Ntsiki for this interview
Thank you, sesi Ntsiki, for deep information
Wow I’m impressed such a detailed reporting 👌🏿👌🏿
Part 2 is needed, please 🙏
Informative, it the word to describe this episode
Damn! damn! damn! Ntsiki, my sister, ausi waka... You keep over delivering these days ✋️ 🫡.
I think when you have one of those more, then once guests episodes. You need to have him and Moeletsi Mbeki and have a discussion.
Thnks so much we would be glad to have part2
The amount of knowledge on this episode.....
The Africa We Want in 2063 needs Content. I am available for a Second Episode. Ntsiki Mazwai, I am waiting, Thanks again for the Confidence and Leadership. Good Returns with the Future of Africa and the World.
I agree with him on the first part, especially the part about Bophuthwatswana. When he spoke about the monarch that's when me and him lost each other. Where in Africa in 2024 find a King that will work for the good of the people. The chiefs' todays are same as politicians they won't help anyone. Unfortunately, all the information will not help as the world is going to get worse and worse. The world is headed for judgement and there is a saviour who is willing to save. Repent and Believe the Gospel
This needs to go viral.
Thank you.....Strength...we are going back to our roots. One step at a time..
Bob TV and Bob Radio were hands down the best. I remember the early 90s when their programmes were published in the TV guide. Oh my goodness, they had it all better than we did. All of a sudden Mangope was branded as a dictator and a sell out. ANC fucked us.
We had Radio Bop, Radio Mmabatho, TV Bop, TV Mmabatho. Best radio and tv personalities ever.
The Djs who later revolutionized radio, your Bob Mabenas, Glen Lewis, Nothemba Madumo were actually trained by and worked for Radio BOP.
This man... Wow
Madumme please please have him back🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼

Am so emotional when you speak ka Bophuthatswana tjo ANC are truly "Mapantiti" like Kgosi Tau Tona use to call them..
And it all makes sense why they do not refurbish it. They hated that man with passion all because he didn't want to be controlled and steal .
Siyabonga kade sidukisiwe.
Listening to what this gentleman says, it is exactly how our great Khemetic civilisation in Africa/Alkebulan fell! It was this type of sell out and corrupt leadership like we have now in most countries that led to the fall of the great unparalleled black civilisation in the continent, let alone the whole world 😢
Ntsiki we need the second interview with this guy, the knowledge he poses. The crimes by the ANC, wow!!!
Ntsiki your reactions are gold 👌🏾📷 I enjoyed watching your response to the information
