Sihle Zikalala officially resigned yesterday as the premier of KwaZulu Natal. Senior reporter Siphamandla Goge speaks to him now about his tenure and future plans. #DStv403
I must admit that has been tougher for him ..having to do this kind of interview on his birthday. He is a tough 1 to crack I am proud of him .💯 He(Mr Zikalala) managed to compose himself perfectly well.
I'm glad that you were driven by the principles of the organization, not of a faction, hoping you and Mdumiseni will be installed where you'll continue to serve and play a significant role in improving the lives of the people.
I believe Sihle Zikalala is one of the few ANC people who diligently worked for the people of KZN. Obviously, political moves are political moves, so he has to leave now. And his voluntary resignation is welcomed by me.
Mr Sihle Zikalala, the only person you have an obligation not to BETRAY IS GOD YOUR CREATOR. ADHERE TO GOD FEARING SPIRIT IT WILL SUSTAIN YOU THROUGH INTERNITY. FEAR ONLY GOD!!
So much respect for this man, I so much am impressed in his management of the state he really was a son of his party. His withdrawal and declaration for redeployment is 5 star.
What Sihle did is commendable. He avoided to subject people in KZN to ANC internal squabbles. Let the new crew drive themselves into their own demise and get booted out of power come 2024.
I am a black person, but it is sad to see our brothers without brain! How can they say he betrayed ZUMA? Did he instruct ZUMA to use State funds to build NKANDLA's house? Did he tell ZUMA to create State capture with GUPTAS and other ALLIES? Did he tell ZUMA to abandon the Commission and make conmptent to Concourt?
I follow ANC government leaders closely, Sihle has never been corrupt, & uyayinyanya corruption that's why he is leaving the corrupt Zuma faction alone so he won't be tainted.
R6.8 billion? How do you lose so much money irregularly and it becomes business as usual? Heads should roll, investigations must be done, people arrested and money recouped.
Good move Sihle Zikalala. Leave voluntarily because Cadres are no longer serving people selflessly but factions. There will be more problems and in 2 years time, your name will be called saying you were better. By that time you will be saying it is not about you as a person but the position.
Halala Comrade Khuzeni you did your best for KwaZulu-Natal our Homeland for that I salute moreover your strategic Resignation with immediate effect is Commendable
thank you for this interview. However I sense that there is more to this than meets thee eye . Mr Zikalala Sir has been kicked off by the ANC squad. You could see how hurting this has pierced his heart. It's like being married to the one you love yet you're being given a divorce for no apparent reason damn😪😒
Sad to see him go, short tempered but very smart leader. I wish you all the best Khuzeni, qhubela usize isizwe esimnyama kwaZulu Natal, zikhonkotha ehambayo emile ziyayichamela. Good luck Sihle
I personally agree that this fellow aka Zikalala has tried so hard to try and put ANC KZN together fighting crime...people will remember that before he becomes the Premier ANC KZN was leading the whole in the killings of the fellow cadres. Big up Sihle may God bless you
This is bizarre this guy says KZN is not underdeveloped...... KZN is in a state of decay as all other provinces. These people must really vacate government now!!!
ANC going for elections then, there was NDZ and CR17 camps . Sihle spoke of united ANC unless he didnt notice the Ankole vs Taliban camps maybe he focused more on the song Phuma Sihle.
This is a True leader indeed!!! He’s leaving the office in a very clean plate with no dirty marks! Some leaders we’re going to fight for not leaving until they get pushed out. But for those who are taking over Let me tell them now they must enjoy while they still can because this joy is only limited , in the next elections I’ll definitely defeat the ANC in kzn
You did your work very well, you worked so hard. The only sin you did was to align yourself with Ramaphosa while your people was against it. We will miss you Sihle your work was great. Please don't allow Ramaphosa to use you in dividing us as KZN.
The answer was very clear in silence. The Niqqaas in KZN Just made a biggest mistake. Kicking someone out who had 40% of votes at congress like that! Imagine how hard it would be to convince those outside of the province come December?? After December we are going to dissolve that leadership, just watch!
We still need to use this man in KZN and South Africa to be out of PEC It doesn't make him a bad man we need a united KZN so that services will be delivered to the people but corruption is cancer that will eat the ANC until it dies if they don't change.
This brother S'pha ka Goge is a brilliant reporter. It helps that he has formed a good relationship with leaders across the political spectrum in the province of KwaZulu. The less said about Sihle Zikalala, the better.
KZN need and South Africa need some 1, who gonna stop all this madness. Since Ramaphosa and his friends took over, they've spent all their time chasing after Zuma. It's time to leave the 80yr old alone and focus on improving the lives of the poor.
Ramaphosa administration has not and will not chase a dead dog. Honestly Zuma inherited his problems in 1996 and he tried to sweep them under the table
Zuma should depart from the face of earth he's causing divisions in the anc nationally and the kzn province. He perpertrates criminality in the anc and doesn't want to be held accountable. He puts himself first before the anc and the state
Why this nonsense as if the ANC has a policy called Jacob Zuma. It might be so in KZN but we don't suffer from such. Khuzeni will be utilized Nationally.
....... Jesus Christ is coming back sooner than you think, be ready and prepare to go with him! Salvation prayer Father I pray with my heart I believe in you Jesus Christ I believe you died for me I'm a sinner, forgive all my sins Wash me with your precious blood Come into my heart, save my soul today Be my Lord and personal Savior My Reedemer, my Savior I accept you today, in Jesus' name Meditate every minute on his verses and word to overcome challenges of this world until he comes.

Was it not under the Zikalala administration that the ANC lost so many municipalities to the IFP, as well as plunging the ANC's majority in Ethekwini to an all-time low? This was his weakness out of which he has been judged by the new leadership.
It was him through his mouth as well who said ANC will no longer support Zuma and discourage comrades to do so. When people defied that call, they then said people should not wear ANC regalia when going to support Zuma because ANC has spoken on the matter. When they realised that the Zuma case was giving the spotlight to comrades they were trying to sideline. They changed their stance on supporting Zuma and wanted to call Zuma's appearance in court an ANC programme therefore it must be controlled by them as the elected leadership of the ANC in KZN. So they imposed themselves on people in the Zuma court appearances to sideline those leaders they were purging in the ANC and it didn't work, they were booed and told to f*ck off. That's when they decided to use covid 19 to make sure that the gathering at Zuma's court appearance is not happening as it was seen as the platform that will give more power to the comrades ramaphosa was purging. Later they were to arrest Zuma to make sure his influence is suppressed and to this day he's not allowed to address crowds. But here he is today saying it is all lies that are being paddled and that he did not support Zuma. Sihle we were there, your Cyril campaign is not going to work and to think you can use Zuma by going to Nkandla now is also not going to work. In this interview you also lie about how zuma intervened when you were booed at PMB. Zuma said you should deal with each other at the conferences, not in his court case as that was not an ANC platform, reprimanding you and mdumiseni who had imposed yourselves on his court appearances event like it was an ANC event that you are entitled to impose yourselves to. Uhubhe ikhehla lenyoni ubhayiziswa oramaphosa uwusihlama namhlanje. Naze nashisa nezwe nibhayizela ingqwele endala kwezepolitiki. Uqinisile uNgizwe methi uyisihlama wena.
Really love Siphamandla's professionalism and interview style! Watching his career closely and wish him well!
This guy is a brand himself... Very articulate and eloquent with the state of affairs of what is at hand... He really knows his story
Thanks Sihle Zikalala go higher steps are waiting for you one day we have a hope to c u as a President of ANC
We ought to give credit to Sihle for not waiting for things to get ugly before he leaves. At least, there was no drama.
I must admit that has been tougher for him ..having to do this kind of interview on his birthday. He is a tough 1 to crack I am proud of him .💯 He(Mr Zikalala) managed to compose himself perfectly well.
Sihle Zikalala worked hard for people of South Africa not only KZN people, thank you so much for your contribution, he's the best

I respect what Sihle did, i wish even other leaders can emulate this, it would help these parties so there are no further divisions.
Bravo Mr Zikalala, you have run your race and by the look of it you still have a lot to offer
I'm glad that you were driven by the principles of the organization, not of a faction, hoping you and Mdumiseni will be installed where you'll continue to serve and play a significant role in improving the lives of the people.
I believe Sihle Zikalala is one of the few ANC people who diligently worked for the people of KZN. Obviously, political moves are political moves, so he has to leave now. And his voluntary resignation is welcomed by me.
Not for all, only our peepol
People of KZN be proud of this man. He's been working hard for you since he was 17yo. One of the rare gems in the ANC.
No we're not!
That's what you want to believe...
@@ntuthukongema4823 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 okay. I'll leave it here.
Sihle you deserve a break, you've selflessly dedicated yourself. Such positions are hard.
Mchunu hunting u don't forget
Mr Sihle Zikalala, the only person you have an obligation not to BETRAY IS GOD YOUR CREATOR. ADHERE TO GOD FEARING SPIRIT IT WILL SUSTAIN YOU THROUGH INTERNITY. FEAR ONLY GOD!!
There's no God chillax
So much respect for this man, I so much am impressed in his management of the state he really was a son of his party. His withdrawal and declaration for redeployment is 5 star.
indeed he has shown great maturity in his political decisions.
Spha my favourite journalist.
Although am not a south african that premier of kzn standout he has dedicated himself to the people of kzn through his tenure
May our Lord Jesus Mightily bless you and Cover you and your entire family with the Blood of Jesus . Continue to have a God-Fearing Spirit.

Great interview thanks to the interviewer
Well done Sihle Zikalala, you have served the province very well, but not an individual.
Sihle is a Ramaphosa suppporter😂Don't worry he will become a minister soon
Yaah
I think he supports whoever offers better benefits . He was for Zuma b4 CR
R6.8 billion? How do you lose so much money irregularly and it becomes business as usual? Heads should roll, investigations must be done, people arrested and money recouped.
Good move Sihle Zikalala. Leave voluntarily because Cadres are no longer serving people selflessly but factions. There will be more problems and in 2 years time, your name will be called saying you were better. By that time you will be saying it is not about you as a person but the position.
I ams o very happy you mention Ugu districts and waterless for ages now
Sihle you are a leader mfowethu
Halala Comrade Khuzeni you did your best for KwaZulu-Natal our Homeland for that I salute moreover your strategic Resignation with immediate effect is Commendable
THE LORD BLESS YOU MR.ZIKALALA REGARDLESS OF ANYTHING. THE LORD COVER YOU WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND THE ENTIRE FAMILY IN JESUS NAME.
Uyabelesela bo Nomndayi
thank you for this interview. However I sense that there is more to this than meets thee eye . Mr Zikalala Sir has been kicked off by the ANC squad.
You could see how hurting this has pierced his heart. It's like being married to the one you love yet you're being given a divorce for no apparent reason damn😪😒
Hardworking A.N.C Leader✊✊ you did your best that you could Sihle.
Mr.ZIKALALA REMEMBER ALL THESE EARTHLY POSITIONS ARE SHORTLIVED. FEAR ONLY GOD!!
@Judy msomi- Yes indeed- the fear of the Lord is beginning of wisdom- earthly things will pass away🙏
Sihle did try his best to lead KZN. Kudos to him however the Ramadollars took control over him and he got greedy. 🤣😂😂😂
Good and principled leaders do not last in dirty political environments
He has stolen enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life
Ngaze ngahleka
Zikalala you're intelligent
Leaders in KZN are elected on the basis that they support Zuma or not. This is poor reasoning from my fellow KZNians.
he is a leader. very smart
Sad to see him go, short tempered but very smart leader. I wish you all the best Khuzeni, qhubela usize isizwe esimnyama kwaZulu Natal, zikhonkotha ehambayo emile ziyayichamela. Good luck Sihle
I personally agree that this fellow aka Zikalala has tried so hard to try and put ANC KZN together fighting crime...people will remember that before he becomes the Premier ANC KZN was leading the whole in the killings of the fellow cadres. Big up Sihle may God bless you
Everyone when they on the ground they are very active give them positions, they become puppets like Sihle, they turn a blind eye to all wrong doings
Good move Sihle to avoid all the useless squabbles...respect!!
This is bizarre this guy says KZN is not underdeveloped...... KZN is in a state of decay as all other provinces. These people must really vacate government now!!!
ANC going for elections then, there was NDZ and CR17 camps . Sihle spoke of united ANC unless he didnt notice the Ankole vs Taliban camps maybe he focused more on the song Phuma Sihle.
This is a True leader indeed!!! He’s leaving the office in a very clean plate with no dirty marks! Some leaders we’re going to fight for not leaving until they get pushed out.
But for those who are taking over Let me tell them now they must enjoy while they still can because this joy is only limited , in the next elections I’ll definitely defeat the ANC in kzn
You did your work very well, you worked so hard. The only sin you did was to align yourself with Ramaphosa while your people was against it. We will miss you Sihle your work was great. Please don't allow Ramaphosa to use you in dividing us as KZN.
KZN does not represent the people of SA whether is Zupta or Ramaphalaphala you are all corrupt you need to pay the price
You think Kzn is bigger than all 8 provinces ner mxm
Khuzeni will be utilized nationally. We don't have a policy called Zuma. That is disease in KZN.
He does not want to commit on the Cyril issue.Thats a clever political move.lt can cost him dearly.Silence now is golden.🤔
The answer was very clear in silence. The Niqqaas in KZN Just made a biggest mistake. Kicking someone out who had 40% of votes at congress like that! Imagine how hard it would be to convince those outside of the province come December?? After December we are going to dissolve that leadership, just watch!
KZN is in trouble if the ANC governs...They are more worried about Zuma than serving the province😪
Sihle is an honorable leader he doesn't hog a position unlike bo ACE who wanted to remain even when there was crime implications
Why can’t tsotsi #1 Cyril do likewise and step down and put the country first rather than selfish interests?
We still need to use this man in KZN and South Africa to be out of PEC It doesn't make him a bad man we need a united KZN so that services will be delivered to the people but corruption is cancer that will eat the ANC until it dies if they don't change.
My,brother,for myself i am not happy but decision,of premier cannot be reversed
Single Zikalala you are my Leader.
Sihle
SAY "MY FUTURE IS IN GOD".
@Judy msomi- Amen 🙏
I believe XIKALALA was a right premier! HE also was a humble person!
Your spelling of Zikalala black person
@@nhlanhlamhlongo5061 Hi. Just a typing error, which you certainly can see!
I respect Sihle
Uyanyisa mfoka Goge ngaklalela ngsayingane uyanqumana ngemibuzo
We love you sihle zikalala. They are all liars. Crooks . Long live.
16:50 this for me is the highlight of this interview, Sphamandla is a goat 🤣🤣🤣
Phuma Sihle

🤣🤣🤣🤣 mna into endiyithethayo inye qha umntu owazala ubab' uNxamalala uyazala hayi iyazalwa landoda fvk!!!
Sphamandla is the future
Why Zuma is still a force in KZN at age 80 I will never know? Let the man retire in peace. Using him shows there is a dearth of leadership in KZN.
A smart person wouldn't have a problem grasping that .
@@nhloniphoingqwele5433 I admire your brains😅🤣
Sihle finally running away ✊
'Of that province'
He is cool! Good decision! So, ZUMA's ALLIES creating all this chaos!
Premier oshayanayo 🚩 🚩
Sphamandla Goge 👌👌 bumfake kubhojwana la
The issue is not Zuma here it's the faction ,I'm happy because this marks the end of ANC, Eff prepare this is your smooth entrance
who is those ones called EFF forget it that rubbish
Political environmental in KZN is absolutely disaster
This brother S'pha ka Goge is a brilliant reporter. It helps that he has formed a good relationship with leaders across the political spectrum in the province of KwaZulu. The less said about Sihle Zikalala, the better.
Now he can drink his alcohol in peace. Maybe he will open up a tavern.
It’s time for people to look to God- all these earthly things etc. will lead many to hades- the only way is to come to Jesus🕎✝️🤲💖
A TOTAL FAILURE .

Do u think Cr must get second chance 😂😂😂😂
Wayinyathela emsileni sihle
why Sihle resigned because he was not re-elected its clear his disappointed
Zuma should depart from the face of earth he's causing divisions in the anc nationally and the kzn province. He perpertrates criminality in the anc and doesn't want to be held accountable. He puts himself first before the anc and the state
in terms of Service Mhlonishwa kuzima nihlulekile kubi kubi
I think eNCA should consider assembling the prime time slot for Sphamandla Goge, his interviewing style is top notch 👌🏾
Why this nonsense as if the ANC has a policy called Jacob Zuma. It might be so in KZN but we don't suffer from such. Khuzeni will be utilized Nationally.
