Thank you Thandiwe for being a voice for the voiceless and raising awareness about the human rights abuses in Zim. As Zimbabweans, we have suffered in silence!I look forward to watching our film.

The truth about Zimbabwe you don't know
I cannot emphasize what a brilliant and empathetic interviewer Trevor is. More power to Thandiwe, hoping to watch the documentary real soon

The truth about Zimbabwe
I never knew anything about the history of Zimbabwe and this one interview has had me watching videos and archival footage for the last two hours, it’s absolutely fascinating and I am that much more eager to see the film! We should really be taught more “modern” history in schools. The text books usually go as far as WWII and then drops off because the year ends. It’s ridiculous how many times I heard about the Revolutionary War of America but never about so many others. It helps to not feel American Exceptionalism if you see that we are not the exception, revolutions came before us and they have come after and still are.
Love your comment and your sentiments.
I was fortunate for my animal behavior professor to be from Zimbabwe and for fun, she taught us a brief history of Zimbabwe. So fascinating
Zimbabwean here, it's really amazing to have the world learn about us like this
@@anotidaisheneilmisi904 I’m sorry it’s taken this long :(
Now do Central America and the role of the United States in the genocide of indigenous people in Guatemala. Honduras just had and election, same thing, not real democracy, just power grabs.
As a Zimbabwean this is literally bringing me to tears. I was an activist too and I witnessed things that are unspeakable. Thank you Thandiwe for shinning a light on us
The problem of Zimbabwe is not missing democracy or missing human rights. The problem of Zimbabwe are the Sanctions from America and UK.
While young Zimbabweans don't come to realise this, the struggle will not end, and you can change as many leaders as you want...
Fight the right war for your country, and don't be distracted...
All the best brothers ❤
Felisberto Botao it's about the few elite stealing and misusing our resources
@@africadigital1652 It nothing to do with the sancations. Zimababwe can still do deals with other countries like China or Russia, and most asian nations who don't follow western policies.
Countries like North Korea can develop nukes while having strict sancations.
Countries like Russia can develop nukes and still have strict sancations.
However Zimababwe is in a much better postion in terms of rights, and peaceful society. You goverment is robbing you once that solved Zim can prosper.
I have a question how do u feel about Robert being gone now??
@@The_king567 I miss bro!
Seeing her 1st name written in full just gave me so much joy. She has a beautiful name.
Yes. I always thought that she should go back to her real name professionally. It's so beautiful.
@@momoiida5505 If you have any hopes of making it big in Hollywood, your names has to always be at least pronounceable by the top people at studios.
Going as Thandi instead of Thandiwe I assume promoted her chances significantly.
Same goes for Trevor. What would his chances of being hired for the daily show been if he was named "Sibongakonke Majola" or "Retshidisitswe Matholwana" instead of Trevor Noah.
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior Sweetheart, I understand the show biz name change. I just stated that I always preferred Thandiwe (which IS easy to pronounce btw) to Thandi which is nice but; less melodic and interesting. Changing one's name for show business purposes is a old practice that everyone is aware of. And sometimes, once a measure of success is achieved; some entertainers decide to go professionally by their legal name (i.e. John Mellencamp, formerly "Cougar"). Take care.
I thought they made a mistake
@@ogone1465 Yes, I saw her on something at the beginning of the year and thought they had mis-typed it... then the interviewer said her full name so I had to go investigate. She is remarkable!
The moral of this interview is "No matter where you go, no matter how famous you get, no matter how much you try and ignore - Home is where the heart is'".
Exactly
Alleluia
🙌🙌🙌🙌
The anger and frustration in her voice tells a story of a champion who is there to promote human rights issues. Bravo to you for telling us the Zimbabwean story
This is an incredible conversation. Can’t wait to watch the film

The truth about Zimbabwe
As a Zimbabwean, I'm happy you're speaking on our behalf Thandi, we appreciate you for that sis
Zimbabwean need people like her Hu speak their mind Zimbabwean need to fight for their country Zimbabwe is beautiful l don't wanna lie as a south African it pains to see ppl of Zimbabwe prefer to leave to other countries that's bad
I love the passion in her voice when she talks about Zimbabwe, it's beautiful.
What a wonderfully beautiful woman and her fight for equality is perhaps her most beautiful attribute. Thandiwe has my support.
Trevor really needs to host a quarterly panel discussion on whichever topic he chooses. Like a Daily Show panel with 4 guests and himself and they just have roundtable chat for an hour and half
Great idea!!!
Yes!
As a Zimbabwean, I am truly happy our story is gaining more attention. The suffering, too much, the resilience of the people, astounding but still: we are tired!
Love her passion and respect her willingness to tell what is not only a difficult story, but one that is playing out around the globe. Nice one Ms Newton and thanks Mr Noah for bringing
this to our attention.
I had no idea she had a english accent. Her along with Idris Elba, Isla Fisher, Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Margot Robbie.
Trevor is beyond comedy, addressing inequality is love, It doesn't grow on you, you grow on it
Excellent!
may I quote you on my website. We work in East Africa providing ACCESS to Clean Water and Clean Energy. We are a non profit in Germany…but on the ground in Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia.
"I thought you were making a film about America" I know I am not the only one who felt that comment.
This is how talk shows should be... Back in the day it was a bit like that. Longer conversation about deep subjects.
This
I've always disliked it when people think certain issues are just like oh it's a third world problem or a first world problem. I'm kind of glad that she's trying to show that there are some things that are in common between the two they're not that different as it may seem
As a Zimbabwean I am so happy to see and hear this. Thank you for standing up and speaking! We need more of this
Thandiwe! I was always an admirer and even more so after watching this interview. Brilliant advocate of empathy and champion for a better humanity. Thank you.
My best friend from high school was from Zimbabwe and they are wonderful people who are hard workers and love their country! I pray they find freedom and safety!
" Thandiwe " an African name meaning being loved
I always thought Thandiww was a South African name. But yah. It can be both
@Deadcactus South African is still African, but in Zimbabwe there's a language called isiNdebele, a dialect of isiZulu from South Africa, where that name comes from.
@@deadcactus3823 Ndebeles use that name as well. Her mom is Shona if I'm not mistaken
@@michaelmaps2004 okay
Beloved. She played beloved ( the ghost)along
Oprah and Donny Clover.
Its always a pleasure to see two Africans at the top of their game. Elucidate events with such clarity and mastery. We are proud of you guys. keep doing your thing.
This woman is a phenomenal Queen !! I feel her passion & strong energy
Kudos to Thandiwe for having the confidence and strength to speak on this matter and truth . Thank you for bringing enlightenment to the suffering in our country . She articulated it well ,bringing across frustration , pain ,anger and faith in one interview . Maita
I am all for celebrities that stand up for the voiceless. So thank you Thandiwe and Trevor for using your platform to use for the betterment of our beloved 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
She is one of the most underrated actors of our time and needs her props. Her work on Westworld was stunning. I can’t wait to see this documentary.
Have you seen her in her season of "Line of Duty," yet? Amazing as always.
And the movie " Bones " with Leon Schuster.
I’ll check them out.
Wow, always loved her as an actress. Can't wait to watch this documentary. Hope it stirrs things up.
Wow what a powerful interview 🙁 Never knew she was from Zim wow! Love her so much!
wow...the depth of feeling and emotion you hear in her voice when Ms Newton speaks. you can tell how sincere and passionate she is
the emotion!!! and the Anger just moved me...Thanks Trevor, you know us Zimbos have suffered for so long such that we now live with the pain and we lost hope in getting help from anyone..People out there (even our fellow South African siblings) say we are too soft and cant demonstrate and you see clearly that they dont know whats happening or simply dont care, how do you demonstrate against an army and police force with guns and tear gas and complete disregard for human life? we had soldiers (caught on Video) shoot into a crowd, people being beaten on tape, buses carrying children tear gased and noone,i mean noone came to help us, imagine the outrage the world(Africans even) had when Floyd was murdered by the police, but killings in our country...ZERO!!!!
How do u feel about Robert now being gone now ?
She's so passionate. Can't wait to watch the film.
" We need to bring feeling back into our humanity" this is it for me , deep and i hope the world will understand this simple statement
We need to bring FEELING (Love) back into Our humanity* #Thandiwe
Change surely does take time but lack of empathy in humanity is disheartening. Thank you Thandiwe for this documentary. The situation in Zimbabwe is everywhere and we all fail to recognize it because "we're in a better leadership". We're too blind to realize how easily tables could turn. I'm a South African and this hits home.
I've always loved Thandie Newton. I remember her vividly in old ER episodes. I'm so glad she is making a name for herself in this endeavor as well. I will definitely watch the video.
By the way Trevor Noah, excellent interview and I'm loving today's outfit! ❤
What an awesome interview. Watched it in tears as I get to witness all that Thandiwe mentioned. I pray that the winds of change will locate my beautiful Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
I love that she decided to revert to her original name "Thandiwe" one that is loved ..... and she tells the story of her home Country
Thank you Thandiwe 🇿🇼
So proud of people like Thandiwe giving a voice to the voiceless👏🏾🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
My country right there ,,, Zimbabwe 💙💙💙
What a great interview. Love their passion on this subject.
I've loved everything she's done, but Westworld, where she realizes her words are not her own... that's her best.
She performs incredibly throughout that whole series
She freaking nailed it. People are lacking empathy.
my dream is to hello someday Trevor, really an inspiration to me, I learned English to follow what he meant because he is a friend who often translated for me. Anyway it's a long story but thank you very much Mr. Trevor Noah
Beautiful, thank you Thandie for reminding us to FEEL again!
Thank you thandiwe for sharing our Zimbabwean to the world
She is a beautiful speaker. Thank you for sharing the platform with her.
Trevor thank you for making your show all round, educating people on things and events that they need to know
fully agree! Trevor is not just a comedian but an activist as well. he is a superb interviewer, prepared to ask the right questions. Thandie is just fabulous as well. She gets it.
"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible." - Frank Herbert
"Power attracts the corruptible. Suspect all who seek it ... We should grant power over our affairs only to those who are reluctant to hold it and then only under conditions that increase that reluctance." - also Frank Herbert
Bravo.
And that's why he is one of my favorite authors.
Great quote.
I felt and I wept watching this. As a Zimbabwean, this feeling is not new, the weeping is not new but it never feels old. The pain is always new everytime. Thank you Thandie and Trevor for encouraging the world to feel and empathize. To all Zimbabweans here is one of us doing her part. Let each one of us do their part regardless of how big or small do your part, and keep feeling. Because from feeling comes actions and change.
🙌💯very true
How do u feel about Robert being gone now ??
Thandiwe is a passionate warrior. Enjoy watching her on film and this great interview! Beautiful Queen
She's a really lovely person. Talented and compassionate.
Now hearing her powerful words, I finally understand her character in the Westworld, who's also fighting against the systematic discrimination and bullying, and fighting for human right. Thank you for being a true heroine. Can't wait to watch this documentary.
Lol
She talks so powerfully! I can feel her enthusiasm.
I'm gonna watch this documentary as soon as possible.
I am Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 and I am proud to say I can't wait to watch this one. #President
How do u feel about Robert being gone now ?
Wow, what a fabulously intelligent discussion. We're going to have to get Trevor a plaid fedora with a little news ticket in the hat band.
Wow, such a powerful, passionate speaker. Hope to hear more from her, the world needs voices like hers.
She is on fire! Thank you for having her on to talk about this subject. we in america need to stop treating african events as if they have nothing to do with us
Wow! I have always been a fan of Thandiwe as an actress… But wow, she’s the real deal!
Wonderful interview and effort.
Just amazing! I want to give this interview a hug AND high five!
'WE NEED TO BRING FEELING BACK INTO HUMANITY"! THAT PART! I COMMEND AND RESPECT THANDIWE NEWTON FOR HER TENANCITY! #THANDIWENEWTON #FIERCE
🌸🌸TREVOR TREVOR TREVOR, thanks for keeping the people informed on ALL SUBJECT MATTERS! Thank you for using your platform for ALL HUMANITY. I love your vision & heart bro🌸🌸
Much needed. Bless you Tandie. I once tried to help a woman running an orphanage. Utter frustration. 🙏🏽🌹
I love Thandiwe so much, she's so brilliant ✨ Thank you for so much more transformative and important work
Thandiwe, siyabonga shuwa! I really hope you make serious head way!
GODSPEED!
I love her in Westworld and now I wish she had a show where she just talks about this!
I live there n i can’t wait to see what this document reveals
I love you thank you for this .. im from Zimbabwe
its amazing how Trevor has used his platform to get African issues out there. hats off to thandi for her activism and love for zim, hope her voice goes a long way
Love " feel something " the world needs it
I ❤️ this interview! I've been a civil/Human rights activist my whole life too!
I didn’t know this but this is great to know!
Well said, "change surely take time 6:10" Thank you 🇿🇼
I love this woman's outstanding empathy and obvious intelligence. One world, one people, Cheers Noah you're fantastic too. SML.
I can’t wait to see this! I’m a big fan of both of you!
I'm glad she embraced her full name "Thandiwe" but I understand the pressures of conforming to Hollywood standards because, to reduce the 'othering' of people that do not fit the generic Hollywood look.
I am too. If people can learn how to say Saoirse, they can learn to say Thandiwe too. I would love to see Asian actors do the same.
What was her name before?
@Nisa B Astroloa Tenk thank you
Our 2 favourite southern Africans ...
You are the best @ThandiweNewton, thank you for sharing the Zimbabwean story
Thank you for telling our story, from a Zimbabwean.
How do u feel about Robert being gone now ??
Fantastic interview, I will definitely see the film!
Already waiting to watch this documentary 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾✊🏽✊🏽
Excellent thank you for the hope ! 🙏🏽✌🏽🙏✌🏻🙏🏾✌️🙏✌🏿🙏🏻✌🏿
I love her passion for humanity! Beautiful points! I cant wait to see the film :)
Thandiwe for President ❤️🇿🇼
This was powerful. I'm definitely gonna watch the documentary. And Thandiwe is right, change won't just happen overnight.
We've gotten so beaten down by the "government" (read: dictatorship) in Zimbabwe that we've forgotten that this isn't right. 42 years of evil is neither normal or right
I agree with you.
And you guys must fight to get your country back from the thieves in charge
Wow..can't wait to watch this documentary
I am really eager to watch the finished product. I also encourage the world to heed the message as well.
No one is truly free, until we are ALL free.
Right on
I love and respect her passion
I really love and respect Thandiwe 👏👏👏
Home is where the heart is ♥️👏
#istandwithThandiwe
I respect you Thandiwe and you have inspired woman to voice out when they can.thank you for being our voice
I'll be watching it! Inspiring interview!!
I will watch this documentary, and the. Human Rights Warrior, Thank you. Important guests Trevor, thank you.
It is always nice to see people use their voice of reason to fight corrupt political structures!
Zimbabweans suffer in silence and so many of them are kind, warm people.
He couldn’t contain as usual and him being wise held back and knew when to yield . I feel that we all are selectively aware and aren’t experiencing a trapped existence I have absolute faith that Love is here and is definite and changes along with suffering is in progress. Healing suffering is a calling and a 3 will bring these human matters to light for momentum to change while in understanding to stay in Love.
