The way Msaki speaks attests to the level of talent she is as a writer. Her vocabulary is so rich and she is extremely eloquent 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Very high level eloquence
Wow!! Eloquent Indeed. You are loved Msaki ❤
Akekho umuntu owazi iisingisi ukudlula uMsaki nabelungu abafiki kuye
@@thebaddie391 facts
I fell in love with her….gosh❤
The lie did not have as much of an effect in Msaki's as she thinks. What she needed to lose she lost but her NAME was way stronger than those lies. SHE IS AMAZING she must never let this lie affect her more than it has. SHE IS GREAT.
I hope she sees this.❤
The psychy
We need her back! ❤
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💖
Msaki, ubomi abumanga sisi❤ Asoze abekho ofana nawe.
Sana liz'ophuma ilanga🌞
Life Time favorite ❤🎉🎉🎉
This woman is so alluring, she’s intelligent, beautiful and just mysterious. This was a great interview
This is my lovely cousin. I'm so proud of her. This country needs strong women like her.❤🎉😊
It must be a bliss to be in her presence. I'd love to get the chance to meet her someday. Her music speaks to me even though I hear nothing of what she says.
@@sophephelangcuka7107 can I borrow your cousin for Christmas? In fact let's start a timetable because my birthday is coming soon too..January I'll need her just to sing me into the year 🤔🤔 mara we'll see 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is it true that Anatii is Noeleen Maholwana Sangqu’s son?
@@kgomotsokaalfootNope
I know Anatii's mom and his sister
@@parsleyaid4946 thank you for clarifying that rumour
Msaki is too pure for this industry man. What an incredible human. 🥺
@@mahadimkwanazi3152 couldn’t have said it better!
I agree with you... She is so Pure ❤️
A@@sinesiphontlebi3639
We need people like her though. Where would we get our healing music, we'll besides gospel. Her song "ubomi abumanga" was one of the songs that contributed to my healing when I went through depression. It's also so important for her to heal because spiritual people like her are sensitive as all of their senses are always alert.
@@preciousmokoena663 definitely. They carry a lot.
When Msaki said "My concept of success is rooted to family" I felt a thump right in the center of my chest! Notice how gutted she is when she mentions that she essentially isn't proud of herself for not establishing balance - i can't imagine how that has left her wanting. All she wanted was to be a writer and singer & the fact that she's had to sacrifice her relationships with family/friends, be a scapegoat for unsolicited speculation & get to a point where she somehow resents her gift of song breaks my heart. I'd like to mention that sis'Relebogile was made for this!!! Her ability to neatly package a question without being too in the nose or expressing insensitivity makes her truly remarkable. God Bless❤
Is Msaki a human dictionary??😅 her language? Beautiful ❤
The words she uses❤
Ngithemba ukuthi uyawazi amagama kanje ngesiXhosa...
@@vusidlamini6275 usthetha kakhle ukufa isixhosa ke kwelocala, she speaks well coz she reads books.
@@vusidlamini6275Uyawazi. Ucula ngesiXhosa uSisi nawe uyamvha
Misaki gave me one of the best song with Tresor
Msaki clearly 'vibed' with someone who is below her. That guy had nothing to lose, that's why he kept quiet, msaki lost millions and her peace. Ladies, be careful who you date, choose wisely. Our reputations are on the line. Choose someone who is above you or in the same level as you.
@@fezekamakade416 ja to him it was publicity for his career coz no one really know him.
Choosing the correct partner is so important
No one is below another human being in the eyes of God money can come and go and it doesn't guarantee that you are superior than another human being
Amen 🙏 to that
Above you in terms of what, how to you measure the levels?
True.
I understand why after almost 2 years this story still hurts Msaki. Once upon a time I was accused of doing things I did not do. It took almost 7 years for me to completely heal. I decided to cut ties with the people who acused me but the pain lived inside of me. I haboured it. I did not speak on the issue thinking I do not want to give it power but the more I kept quiet the more I delayed my healing. I hope you feel better for speaking the truth, for telling your side of the story, for defending your honor. Those who care to hear you like myself have heard you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I believe you are not a home wrecker.Peace and Light😍😍😍
Msaki is so good with words damn..!!😍
She's eloquent
Yhoo, if I was Msaki's husband..yeses her English is proper. ONLY like that part😂😂 ndifuna ukuthuka undiqhela kakbi undazelaphi *now that's what I understand ngesXhosa*
"...I have a strong sense that my life is weaving a story....." damn
Man!
😂❤I came here to say this.And she is so smart!!😊😊
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL Msaki. The message has landed on our ears, and I have HEARD YOU. You are Msaki , the singer, songwriter , storyteller, healer, messenger, mother, friend and a beacon of hope for our generation. Our ancestors wildest dream. We're proud of you.
Yhooo waze wasikhalisa Msaki. Msaki is such a soft person who is in touch with her feelings. I cried just hearing her fighting off tears coz she is hurt. May God bring her healing and peace that surpasses all understanding
Hands off Msaki, we need her back.. She's gifted and talented... ❤❤
Thank you for treating Msaki with so much gentility and respect, even the camera staying on you while she released, bears testament to how humane the people you have behind the lense are. I have always loved and followed your work as well, so even on this platform you have won me over. A beautiful girl's girl moment. Msaki should know that it is already well. ❤❤❤
Thank you for teaching me a new word😭 "gentility" ❤
On my bucket list: to watch a Msaki performance live. Her voice somehow speaks to my soul❤️
I was hurt when she made the announcement... honestly a whole dream.
Seen her twice n met her ..she’s absolutely amazing
If you're in pretoria,she has a concert around December time at sunbet arena in Menlyn...
@@khanyisileskhosana1370 I will be traveling from Durban to Pretoria to see her. Can’t miss that opportunity tuu. I adore her that much! My is made!
The last part was heartbreaking 💔. It's sad that the majority of the interview was based on the so called scandal. Be strong Msaki, there's more love for you out here
Sisakuthanda ke thina Msaki💌
The articulation in this conversation though.🙏
Love Msaki big time. I'll never forget when she replied to an email I had sent when I stumbled upon her email address. She replied with so much love. Light, power and strength to her ❤
Ndumi you are here
@@bonganimzayiya-7197 I'm within my friend. I'm a big Msaki fan.
Funny how she's sharing but still mysterious. Very grateful to know this bit of her, i didn't know she's a mom, and was a wife. All I've known is Msaki the artist. We're grateful for you ❤
I miss this mystery with celebrities but ke social media ruined that for me. I'm glad she's keeping it alive.
I also didn't know any of this information about her. I like how she handled the interview & I believe she chose the right person, Rele, to talk to.
Kuthiwa "A man will leave you in the desert with no water". It's a pity he did not protect you. It's a gift he showed you he's not a protector.
😢who is the guy?
@@janerabothata959Smash Africa. Can you imagine 🙄?
A part of me can’t stop to think it was the soon to be ex husbands doings to get such out to get at her but no that’s just my “watch my back” always self thinking 😂trauma is a real thing
WHT did you expect he failed to protect and honour his marriege it is said that he was not fully divorced so how was he going to protect this lady
People with gifts often hardly get genuine people. Strength to Msaki❤
The sad reality of chosen ones 😢
I can literally hear the pain in her voice yhoooo this interview broke my heart… so sorry Msaki went through all this for a man who chose not to speak up for her
I was so uncomfortable on her behalf throughout this interview, but I’m so proud of her for stepping out of her comfort zone and still handle this so beautifully 🥺❤️
Crazy how the essence of your entire being could be threatened just because you gave love a chance. What a restoring conversation. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us even when we have constantly appeared unworthy of it, Msaki.
Msaki your music is bigger than that whole thing, you have great support from genuine lovers of your music❤ Happy to see you living and working on the things you love!
Msaki and Zonke for me are top tier 🎉🎉🎉❤
I'd like to see Zonke in this space please ❤
Msaki is so courageous. Her speaking up so well for herself, even while hurting, speaks volumes about her character and authenticity. I love her.
Msaki's account of the incident paints a vivid picture of her ordeal, and her truth is a powerful testament to her strength and resilience. Smash Afrika's failure to support Msaki and take ownership of his mistakes highlights his lack of integrity.
Rele you were the right person for this conversation!
She tried shame, Msaki is a power house
Msaki was done wrong mostly by this man's silence. "Having no say when others trash me is the same as trashing me too"
Hope you heal my queen, love and light to you and & your family. We love your craft and we'll continue to support you❤
She was done incredibly wrong by women! It’s the women who didn’t give Msaki the benefit of the doubt! As vile as men are, men have less say in situations where people like Msaki feel the need to cancel themselves before they are by society! Women lead such groups! Women called Msaki a home wrecker! Never cared for her! It’s sad! Women failed Msaki
Hlangothi! Your priorities are misplaced you are more concerned with people who agree with you than those who are trying to give a different and a new perspective! Wow! You’re not even a Msaki type at this point!
I wish they didn’t stay on the unfortunate events for as long as they did,at some point it became repetitive and that denied us the opportunity to hear about other amazing aspects of Msaki as an artist. Msaki needs to not be so hard on herself, she is light and many people see that more than anything else and that’s what deserves attention.
Msaki actually needed this platform to voice herself and clear things out.
Speaking brings healing, that is what I have learned. It reduces the burden off the shoulders.
It truly does. She did an interview with MacG soon after the scandal addressing the issue and announcing her hiatus as a result and at the time it made sense to give the issue the attention and explain herself and almost a year or more later, I just dnt see the need to make it the essence of an interview. Talk about it yes, but dnt make it the defining moment of her career as the amazing artist she is.
Perhaps she did and am glad Relebogile is the person she chose for that. My opinion is that after she already addressed the issue on different platforms, a year or so later they could have spoke on the issue yes but not make it the essence of the interview. Msaki is talented and can never be defined by what happened and we know how she rarely does interviews and this could have also been used to catchup with her as an artist.
I think talking about it is why she was here, to fully tell her truth and speak from the heart.
This reminds me of 3Talk with Noeleen and Real Talk with Anele🤣.. New age queen of talk Relebogile Mabotja❣🥺
Relebogile also had a show on S3 a while ago, can't remember the name of it but it was good. Kept me engaged the entire time it was on air. She's good.
I love how soft and articulate she is. Sometimes you think she is about to cry.
Msaki's way of speaking reflects her beauty and calmness as a person. She is articulate, composed, and her voice has a healing quality. It was difficult to see her share such vulnerability, and it didn’t seem like she had planned to do so. At least Rele approached the situation with kindness.
I wish we appreciated her more. This entire scandal has nothing to do with her.
Take your time to heal, Msaki. We’ll be here waiting for you.
we are only doing this life thing once, no rehearsal, no do-over.. the earlier we realise the value of time, health, and peace in relationships the better - thats the revolution.
Relebogile is one of the best broadcasters we have in the country because she knows how to break a line between being sympathetic to her guests while being the hard journalist and im extremely excited to hear Msaki sounding this positive about her music career because i felt like her decision wasn't fair to us who are true hardcore fans of her music.
There’s something special about her njeee. She is so smart and good with words, man she is poetic ❤️
Man I can listen to msaki speaking the whole day...she's the smartest
She is soo wise , well -spoken and poised ... Her voice is soo healing .. I love her soo much
She is one authentic human being,🥰🥰🥰 the last words had me chopping onions🥺🥺
I have always heard people saying someone is beautiful inside and outside, but I did not comprehend it until I started following Msaki
I love everything about her ❤
What a beautiful interview, Msaki is very eloquent and gifted
Yey, my emotions went through the roof. Nothing hurts more than seeing the person, who helped heal you through her music, go through such an experience. So proud of her!
Just want to give Msaki a big hug and assure her that we belive her 😢😢😢
Oh mani Msaki😢 mna ndyaqala uziva kwa ezindaba sisi. You will forever be a fave kum noba bangathini stru’bob. Behind you all the way mntase. Ready to support in anyway that you feel comfortable to continue sharing your gift with us❤
Zange ndafuna noyilandelela mna honestly because bendingafuni nje umjonga in a different way. I love her so much
Her vocals say a lot about who she is……we love you Msaki, stay strong, you are a lovely woman, stick to positivity and keep moving forward. Do not blame yourself for having and sharing so much love……do not let disappointment let you down, draw the line, and keep protecting yourself……we wanna hear your beautiful melody, we feel your authenticity through your voice!
"The truth really does have a spirit, and it settles in your heart or psyche in a way where you can make your own decision." ❤ What a great interview, very articulate. I wish I can give Msaki a big hug. Love her music, Great interview by Relebogile. We need to be kinder as humans.
1:30:10 I've never related to someone more than I do now when she said this. I am also learning to make boundaries and to speak up for myself as someone who had a burnout because I really lacked in these parts.
@Msaki 😭😭😭 You are making me cry. Some of us have known your authentic character from your music. You will be fine and heal ❤️❤️
Listening to Msaki I was forced to improve myself as a woman because people will force you to change. She was well mannered and here and there you could feel the pain she's going through and she went through. I respect her I won't lie and I am happy she broke her silence too.
Please tell me you are back for good Relebogile 😢
Hopefully!😢😢
Bruh.. Urgh❤
Hope so too!!!
She has a full time job at 702 ey very time consuming i'd assume. Hopefully she will post more often.
aye, they can never make me hate Msaki. Kore I love *her* and the music comes afterwards. She's a real one.
Thanks for coming back both of you.by the way, in your absence we were fed people like brother Enigma 😢so we really needed this therapy.
😂😂😂
Bathong 😂😂😂😂
😅😅😂😂😂
Leave Brother Enigma alone he's our comedian 🤣
Brother Engima is a messenger ya last number
This interview has provided so much clarity, thank you Msaki for allowing yourself to be vulnerable. Looking forward to heating and seeing more of you 😊.
Welcome back Relebogile!!! Po po po po!📣📢📣📢🎉
So well spoken, So well articulated, So eloquent, So fluent, So demure !!!
Please let her know, we love her, we appreciate her alot!
So eloquent, so intelligent ooohh😮💨🙌🔥
I am glad Msaki got to share her side of the story and i hope she keeps sharing her gift ❤
Dear Msaki,
I can’t imagine how difficult this journey has been for you, but I want you to know that I see your strength and resilience. The lies and cruelty thrown your way were unjust, but they don’t define you. You are so much more than what others say.
I believe in your truth, and I believe in you. Healing from this kind of trauma isn’t easy, but you are making progress every day, even when it feels slow. You are courageous, and your story is powerful-it will inspire others who face similar battles.
Please know that you are not alone. We are here, standing by your side, supporting you through every step of your recovery. You are loved, valued, and incredibly strong.
Take your time, and remember that your worth is far beyond any of the negativity. I’m praying for your continued healing and peace, and I believe wholeheartedly in your future.
With love and support!
It’s going to be okay @Msaki 🙏🏾 God will lift you higher.
MSAKI is a gem. She is so well spoken. The song, SPRINGTIDE, that she did with REVOLUTION will always stand out 4 me💥💥💥💥
My fav, no matter what 🎉❤
Msaki is my role model ❤❤ she gave us vukani, fetch your life and sondela this are motivational songs❤ she is talented

@@mkhululiaaron722 thanks
That Zaneliza album will ALWAYS be my favorite ❤❤❤
I'm in awe every time I listen to "ulwandle lutshile". The entire album is just incredible
@@yonellajafta sana, that lady was in her element when she wrote that song
Love and light to Msaki, she will bounce back💐
The calmness in Msaki's voice, her authenticity love her so much.😍😍
Are you back Relebogile? I miss you I'm a biggest fan of your podcasts
Mntanam, think about the process of producing the beautiful, shiny, very expensive piece of gold. That stone goes through the highest levels of heat, washed in very cold water, back to the heat as it gets refined to its best. That’s the value you have through your creativity and nobody can take that away from you. That’s how God works. You’ve got this!❤
Lies always ruin lives, yoooo i can relate especially if one cannot defend themselves
Msaki is such a high vibrational person 🤩 We are so lucky to have her as a nation
I can listen to Msaki speak for days 😍❤️, her articulation 🤌
I don’t regret defending her on twitter
I absolutely LOVE Msaki & could easily listen to anything she has to say!!! I'm so glad I got a chance to hear her version of events!
Oolord everything about her is so beautiful she's a soul healer....
Where Msaki goes, I go ❤ Thank you Rele for this incredible first episode of many more stellar conversations ❤
I knew it!!!!! Mxm we still love you Msaki and Amandla's lyrics are my fave to date!❤
Am so sorry Msaki, we love you and we still wanna hear more of your music ❤❤
Whenever listening to your music Msaki, I feel you, weight is lifted in that moment and tears usually fall down. Your music heals me and brings so much joy.
The Zahara part had me crying as well yoh😢😢😢.
Smash Afrika had a hidden agenda 🤞he was sent to destroy Msaki's career...I hope she finds healing and come back stronger ...❤
I agree
Truly
The universe will reward him accordingly
I could listen to Msaki all day. She has a gift of serenity.
Ohh love and light to you Relebogile Gratitude for Msaki for opening up and sharing her spiritual gift with us, Zaneliza is the healer to the soul God bless you as we love you and we continue this next chapter with you❤keep the light on and the star and the universe is the guide, what you shared will always be the lesson to others🫂✨
Thank you aus Relebogile for creating and holding space for our beloved Msaki ❤
I adore Msaki. Grateful for her music, for her voice, the songs she has written. A true gift to the world.
This interview says a lot about her integrity, allowing us into her intimate space so that history will know that she stood her ground for the honour of her name and legacy.
Her legacy, for me, will always be the love and the light she has poured out through her music ♥️
I would fight in a crowd for Msaki, such a humble and beautiful soul. I'd throw hands from jump❤
Msaki is an exceptional woman ❤
"Being betrayed by your own gift"... 🥺, felt that!!!
Two beautiful woman, great conversation.. Msaki you're a dime 🥹🤍.. I adore you so so much ❤❤ get well 🥺🤍🫂✨ you're sooo loved and appreciate!!!!
me wondering if msaki is intelligent or spiritual or both...very articulate damn
She is a genius in the true sense of the word. Brilliant in everything she does and the most genuinely humble person you will ever meet.
You can be both. It’s completely normal to be both.
Msaki
I love you so much,your voice heals me whenever I’m sad I listen to your music,May God richly bless you. I’m glad sis Relebogile is back ❤
very articulate, calm and humble. A very beautiful lady indeed. We need such role models in the industry.
I cant even find the words to describe how much Msakis music has kept me together through all the pains ive experienced. One of my biggest wishes is to see her perform Kuja Utanipata live ❤
Ndikuthanda into engenasphelo !! Bayeke abo baxakene nama bibi abo bona kuqala. Love you Msaki!!❤❤
Msaki is simply an incredible human being🥺 I love her so much
Thank you Relebogile for allowing me to see an artist that I already knew I had a connection with but had never even heard her speak outside of her lyrics & music. Thank you for the beautiful space you are creating where vulnerability lands on safe hands and you facilitated the conversation with genuine love and respect - looking forward to seeing more on here.
Thank you Msaki for letting us in, even to the parts of you that are still raw and bleeding. The vessel that you are fills us way more than you know.
Thank you Relebogile for such a beautiful interview. Thank you Msaki for taking time....I for one was so hurt by your withdrawal from the stage - I did not even know what was going on or why and what had happened ...I had to google as you talked about it. I love you so much and enjoy your music so much and your voice nkosi....you are so gifted and whatever happened should not deter you from who you have been called out to be.....I concur with the host, I can't wait for you to announce dates and your return to the industry and I am sure we speak for many that cant wait to have you back.....so intelligent and gifted....aluta continua sis..much love
Wishing Msaki 100 fold restoration on everything she has lost. Nxesi Sisi. May God & your forefathers comfort you &n fight for you.
I commend Msaki for opening up and standing up for herself. I could see and hear the irritation and pain as she addressed the situation. Shuu, women always get the short end of the stick. I’ve never thought about the devastating effect of tabloid headlines and the impact it has on real lives. It’s saddening. Ultimately we love and admire her for her musical gifts and the energy shifting effect that graces us with.
Im so glad you came out and told your side of the story, Msaki. You're obviously a very private person & I resonate with that. Well done to you on taking this step, and I'm sure it's all part of the blueprint of your journey. Sending light ✨️
Questioning myself “why I’m I watching this episode “because I’m all about music and what happens in her private life is truly none of my business 😭😭😭”great episode though thank you for clearing the air.
Yazi nami nje I am not interested in her private life nje and the host keeps digging am so disappointed i you Rele gal.I love your interviews a lot but now please do not turn a gossip gal hle nana please. Let Msaki be the Msaki we know and love.
