Fell inlove with 5fm because of Gareth. When it comes to free speech I think Gareth was ahead of his time.
How lovely to see this face again - Gareth is a legend
Gareth Cliff is amazing🎉🎉
Gareth has a great mind. I learnt so much from him from a very young age with regards to free speech, expressing yourself does not matter what others' opinions are and the ability to stay open minded.
I have so much respect for Gareth cliff
I don't agree with his views most of the times but I like the fact that he is not afraid to express himself
i agree.. freedom of expression and speach is what makes us free..
One of the most interesting South Africans.
one of the few english-first language ones that chose to remain
Been listening to this guy since 5FM mornings🤝
Thanks Sizwe for introducing us to the non-media version of Gareth. Such a solid gent.
Lol. Who is Sizwe? Gareth has his own show where you can see who he is.
Gareth cliff is a fantastic guy I've always liked him he speaks his mind!
Gareth has that rare quality, common sense.Thak you both💝💝💝
Gareth Cliff, you’re a legend !
This is one person I would not have listened to had it not been for SMWX... 🤔
Me too hey! And this interview might have just changed my perception of him.
Thanks. We will continue to bring guests from diverse perspectives because we trust our audience take make their own minds up. 🙌🏽🙏🏽
This guy is misunderstood because of the herd mentality. I’ve always loved this guys mind. Check out his interview with Mac G, it will surprise you.
@@tsheposeeletso6475this is true, I've always enjoyed him since he was on 5fm. Even more when he started CliffCentral. Listen to him every morning, worth the listen.
Amen. I can’t stand him
Beautiful interview. Gareth rightly understands that his opinions and life experiences aren’t accepted truths. He pushes those boundaries and I think one would do well not to take other peoples opinions personally. I personally don’t agree with a lot he says but I enjoy listening to him.
straight-forward people are not often appreciated
Three podcast shows that I find myself watching on the daily... Cliff Central, SMWX & State of the Nation. Keep up the great work guys!
Me too bruh...The Algo works
You probably european. I'm not surprised. Viva EFF 🎉
@@levikalombo1630 Shem the evil spirit of the Dark side of the EFF has consumed you.
make like EFF and eff off haha@@levikalombo1630
I love this guys mind/thinking
I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. Great work guys, spread the fire!
First one in class, mark the register here!
Love this😂❤
Gareth Cliff i don't usually write online, but you are my hero
What a wonderful podcast. Just come across your podcast. I look forward to listening to further episodes.
Yes, it is vital SA learns to engage each other in debates and conversations whilst still being able to meet and share a coffee afterwards. There is far too much division being created by the rhetoric of politicians.
You can tell when a guest is a media guru, very well spoken, and at ease on the mic.
Thanks smwx !! Great episode
Insightful conversation indeed.
What an amazing interview, Gareth wow what an amazing guy .. thoroughly enjoyed this thanks SMWX
An absolute pleasure to listen to. Two very ethical intellegingent and open minded people having a natural conversation from 2 different career paths other than broadcasting. Thk u Siphwe and Gareth
I really enjoyed Gareth cliff on 5fm but listening to him now I have a profound respect for how he has matured as a speaker, he speaks with wisdom and interlect, we need more of u Gareth.
Wow.. I'm an old toppie .. nice to listen to cliff again .. and how do you mr mpofu .. really enjoyed this. .. hello smwx .. cant wait to binge on more on this channel
Beautiful episode!!
man who is this Mpofu guy, so well-spoken. He takes his time to speak. so inspired
This is a great conversation. I keep replaying certain stimulating segments. Two great conversationalists
I agree with Gareth we have to allow the argument and not see it as a fight but a higher form of problem solving and we can still be friends after we debate..
We need a part 2, so insightful
Absolutely love Gareth! Great guy who is unapologetically himself!
Always loved this guys mind. good interview👏👏
Very intresting interesting interview
Yes, a privilege to have and/or to have had great parents
A straight legend. Sound and conscious.
Cool interview. Thank you!
Thanks guys this was very well articulated and informative from 2 brilliant minds🙏🙏
Great Interview.
Love these conversations.
You might not like Gareth but his views on this podcast I resonate with. He sounds like a grounded balanced person and I would love to engage with him about the problems of this country.
What a breath of fresh air. Brilliantly insightful and funny at times, thank you both.
Credit to SMWX for bringing a polarising figure...it's the reason we appreciate alternative media platforms like UA-cam instead of traditional platforms like CNN etc. Whatever one thinks of Gareth, he is worth listening to. I wouldn't ordinarily listen to him after the Naledi Pandoor jibe but there's something valuable worth listening to..
Gareth is the best example of free speech. Love him 2 bits ❤
Ure a bot!🤷🤷🙈🙈🤡🤡🤡👎👎👎
@@craigmorgan4676seriously a bot ?? You must be a braindead clutchplate!!
I’ve been a Gareth fan since his morning radio show. I might not follow him as much, but still a fan.
Chief 🤜🏿 you have a great fellow right there. Mischievous and all but still a great guy
Excellent conversation with Gareth Cliff.
Thank you for inviting Gareth Cliff.
Absolutely Awesome! Getting back to being human and respecting and loving one Another! Congratulations to Both of you, lets have more ! ❤❤

Sizwe. Thanks for interviewing him as I requested. Wonderful conversation. Ndiyabulela mfo
Wow this was powerful. We need more of these with different people.
Nearly passed then I saw the name of my GOAT on the tag then I clicked
This is one of the best interviews you have done Sizwe, it is always nice to interview the interviewer. Would love to have you as a guest again on Cliff Central. Ndi Kale
Feelings of insecurity .Not much confidence in Cliff.He is loyal to Netanyahu .Has never spoken for victims in Palestine .If I have missed something let me know .
Two of my favourite people on one platform what!? Really enjoyed it and hoped for a part 2 of the politics but nonetheless I would watch it again😅
DOPE 🔥
Excellent conversation. I thought I would listen to 5min… ended up listening all the way to the end. Thanks Sizwe and Gareth.
The part about faith, belief and the views of people against such is pure gold 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great interview.
Such a great interview! Thank you for this. It serves as a reminder (to me) that having different viewpoints shouldn't prevent one from seeing the good/positives in another.
Gareth is speaking on Gods Word of conclusion.🙏
Spread the Fire!! 🔥🔥🔥🎬🎥🙏. Thanks Siz.
Reluctantly listening to Gareth.
Yazi me too, honestly 😂
😂😂😂 but sometimes it's necessary though.
Lol, my bro exactly how I'm feeling..
Are you not a fan? Did your perception change after listening?
Great conversation, gents.
Let’s Make a concerted effort to apply convergent and divergent thinking strategies in our …thinking, speech, and conduct!
I’m hopeful that This will cure our judgmental, insular, tribal, one-sided narrative!
Embrace argumentation done with diplomacy, tolerance, and respect!
We can exist peacefully with each and we don’t always have to agree regarding many ideologies or situations. As long as the communication is done with respect and tolerance … in a civil manner!
Hi, from Saudi, as always very informative and inspiring us toward fair, civil, graceful, and compassionate conduct!
Thank you!
Shukran!
Enjoyed this interview. Haven't seen GC in a while.
Sizwe’m loving your craft. All the way from Australia.👌🏿
Good interview guys, thank you.
Gareth has always been a favorite. He has always been like a Nandos ad. You won't always like what he says, but the message will be out there. Take it or leave it.
I really enjoyed this interaction. Thanks Sizwe 👍
Woooow Gareth just asked one question that i always asked myself you and politics.
As usual, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Can't wait for the next one.
Always enjoyed GC since he was on radio.I wonder if he was 20 years of age then but his way of thinking and content were high resonance stuff.
Thanks Sizwe my brother, insightful
Gareth certainly has grown up . Good interview.
Had a great time listening to both of you guys. Used to listen to Gareth on radio in the mornings and loved it. Sizwe am presently following you on Unfiltered and loving it. Both of you are so "real", not out there to please your audiences but talking about real stuff that a lot of people shy away from. Thank you
great interview
I enjoyed this very much. We do need to start talking and listening to one another. We will be pleasantly surprised that we have more in common than what we think.
great conversation thoroughly enjoyed it gentlemen speaking from the chest straight forward
I only saw this person as a villain, but him being interviewed kinda made me see the side that I wasn't exposed to. He is good guy!
I suspect that schools have been vigourously teaching kids to see all whites as villains.
If it wasn't SMWX podcast, I wouldn't have listened at all 🤞💯
That’s what we’re about. Having new conversations that open different perspectives. 🙌🏽
Enjoyed the interview
Good interview
Sober conversation ❤❤
Thanks Doc
Wow been years that I have listened to Gareth. Times I found him so entertaining. And times (more often ) that I thought he was a arrogant and insulting. But I think times changes things and he seems so wise nown
age does that (sometimes). I totally agree with your take
Digging the unity, Crew neck no branding t's
Wow the point made about opportunity to interview ministers then vs now 🫢
4:30 Mandela's release in feb 1990! my mother also told me to come watch. I had never heard of him or Apart..d before. I was in Std 7
This is purely from memory: Talking about the deliberate connection between Gareth's and DJ Fresh's radio shows on 5 FM, I remember Gareth announcing that he was going to leave his then prime slot to allow for Fresh to move in, and I especially remember how Gareth emphasised how good Fresh was to his, presumably, white audience. Now, I understand that context much better.
Great interview 👍
Gareth is a great South African
Can we talk about Gareth Cliff's view on the perception of black man's value in the society 😭😭😭
I cannot speak for Gareth but one thing I can say is Black Men are powerful beyond their imagination and without them we would not be a developed society, black man work hard for their families to put food on the table and make sure that their kids and wife are fed and taken care of and that makes them noble and wise. Black men are responsible for the physically hard work of repair and contruction of infrastructure all across our country as well mentally demanding work in our offices in the admin and I.T departments. Black men are no nonsense hard workers and the most trustworthy of all. I as a white person know this as I have only had good experiences working with black men in the various companies I worked for. Black men are also the best friends that any person can make regardless of their race, there are a few racist bad apples I wont lie (but that applies to all race groups) but the vast majority of black men and black woman are wonderful, caring and family orientated and work hard and are successful through that hard work. Thank you 🙏
Ayeye!
Morning guys
His was the first independent channel on the web (SA)that I knew of. I thought his audacity was quite something. Around 2011?
Im waiting for that part about black men, thats what got me glued 🤔
why don't you just call him a racist now, and get it over with instead
The GOAT
Amazing Cliff, what you said about your friends turned me off you any years ago, I guess we all grow up. ❤
I have followed Gareth for a while now, at first I thought he was just arrogant and self centered, but I realized that there are topics we just don't want to talk about and we don't want to deal with other people's opinions. He doesn't shy away from those and of course he has an opinion, and he makes you think
I would've given anything for even one parent that loved me. It's not always about money. 2:50
Third one
Spread the fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
