As a Coloured Male from PAARL in the Western Cape... during all my yrs in the ANC 🇿🇦, I just have the GREATEST RESPECT for Gogo AUBREY MATSHIQI and his ANALYSIS of political issues in our political landscape. He is indeed the EPITOME of REMARKABLE INSIGHT, RESILIENCE and an UTMOST RESPECT and DEDICATION to his Country and Countrymen and women. He will never talk ill of ex-Leaders of the Struggle Revolution, but always have his TRUTHFUL diagnosis and Analysis of how to treat such.
Former President Jacob Zuma is not an academic politician but a practical example of a life that was dedicated to the politics of the country. Politics is his bread and butter. He cannot be underestimated . His rise this time was because of the vacuum that he noticed. He said he is old but there is no young person who rises with enough power to challenge the ANC . That is is all that resurrected him from his sickbed
Gogo Aubrey mashiqi brilliant unbiased analysis as always, you are such an important voice in our politics. Thank Dr Mpofu-Welsh for bringing this giant African scholar. Wishing him a Speedy and full recovery. THOKOZA🙏
Interview president zuma did was amazing,obaba is looking champion again,very excited for our future government,so very glad you are on the mend,blessings
Then we might aswell let "the Markets" decide then. Why should we bother to vote?? What's the point of this democracy if the end goal is merely to please the faceless markets? The markets must respect the will of the people.
Those "faceless markets" are the ones responsible for the cost of fuel, inflation, interest, cost of living and in a large part - quality of life. Without them we're another Banana Republic...which is what the MK/EFF/ANC coalition would mean...
@@luthovellem865 It is as if our people cannot realize that we going backwards. I always tell myself a politician in this day and age still blaming apartheid; is a wolf in sheepskin and do not have anything to offer South Africa. If a young academic get an opportunity to lead this country we will see the vast difference between ANC politics and someone who actually wants to build the country and it's citizens up.....
@@SwiftSPacademia is not righteousness, just as knowledge is not wisdom....How many lawyers break the law, and KPMG accountants are stealing money...we need a man who fears God period....
Yooo ! You are correct Mhlekazi people do not analyse facts anymore because of their hatred for Zuma.They do not see anything good from him.I do agree with you that love him or hate he is very smart in politics.
The same could be said about those who love Zuma. More often than not they ignore all reason and logic. It amazes me that people forget that Cyril Ramaphosa had left politics and was brought back into the fold by Jacob Zuma. This wasn't done for the benefit of the organization or the people of South Africa, but its sole purpose was to prop up Zuma's own ANC elective campaign. That decision led to the mess we are in right now.
Thank you Dr Sizwe Mpofu for bringing uGogo again you have no idea how i like listening to uGogo he is a blessing to us as South Africans special the youth.
Ngeloxesha it has been the MK preaching discipline to its members, even when some in the ANC have been provocative. There are very cool heads in MK and an awareness of the lay of the land, and of the need to not play “their” game. You are right Sizwe about the desperation in the ANC’s actions Sunday night, as well as blocking Zuma from the airways. Only unthinking voters will be swayed by such things.
The tendency to support a 'person' vs a competent team that works cohesively ,for all the citizens of the country , is a recipe for an unhappy outcome .
@@sdonagmac2293 My point was - in deciding who to vote for , if an individual is focussed on, vs the team around them ( from any party ) and they subsequently came to power then it is an unhappy situation for all citizens as the competence needed to govern properly and cleanly may not be there so the team should be assessed , as one would do if investing in a company. Great leaders prime function is to identify and appoint the best team members to implement the strategy. In my view a ' win' is the most ethical and competent team as that is a win for all.
@@thabomashiane8265The same Mbeki who cried about a cult of personality, reshaped the ANC in his image between 1999-2007 and implemented his vision and didn’t want anyone to tamper with it. So much so that he ran for a 3rd term as ANC president and was defeated. He’s not qualified to speak about cult of personality
@@hedleyfurioPolitics is not and has NEVER been for “all”. It’s about those who identify with the party and it’s vision. If the vision is communicated clearly by a specific leader (i.e Malema or Zuma or Holomisa), then that’s that. The electorate will choose that vision represented by a cult like figure.
We are really praying for God's mercy and grace 🙏 in time of need I too pray for intervention at this time of elections nkulunkulu thathindawo yakho nkosi Amen 🙏 select a good person with wisdom to rule South Africa 🇿🇦 and remember the poor and orphans, unemployment, children that are addicted on drugs,maruana,nicotin,drinking because of lack of employment.Amen🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Aubrey, wishing you well with your health. Sterkte! I'm traditionally a DA voter, and this year am voting DA provincially (they administer well), but not nationally (I don't like their policies, and negative type of narrative that they push).
Wishing speedy recovery to ugogo u Matshiqi! May izinyanya zakowabo noThixo zimsikelele 🙏🙏🙏. We still need him to teach us & share his wisdom with us! Great interview b4 we go & vote! Siyabulela Hlubi!
Thank you very much, Mr Aubrey Matshiqi, for being for authentic and honest, your comments are so enlightening, we need such people, may God give you good health
Where i differ with Gogo is trend of decrease by ANC. The situation is totally different to previous election periods. Firstly Zuma factor cant be equated to COPE. Zuma takes rural and urban voter respectively. Thirdly Ramaphosa has been a disaster.
Thank you Dr Sizwe for inviting Gogo. Was missing him big time and wishing him continued recovery. There are a lot of insights you two bring up as you converse. Your journalism is both unique and special - gentle yet still evoking responses. Yaa this year's elections are something else and we all keenly await results thereof. 🙏
I decided to listen this interview midnight where everyone is sleeping so that I can listen to Ugogo wow I love him how he analysis politics I always learn something ❤ Wish you get well Gogo 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank God that Gogo Aubrey is alive and well... I view him as a national treasure in this confusing political landscape that we have. He makes meaning of the madness we see playout before our eyes. Wishing him plenty decades of health.
EFF will suprise everyone like how they did when they first set foot inside the political scene of South Africa... Malema is an unpredictable leader who is an archive of SA politics 🤞🏾
Gogo Mashiqa has changed his tone about Zuma and MK. The way he spoken last time was putting it as a disgrace, but now he changed and praise the brilliance of Zuma. I am shocked😂😂😂
I didn’t even wanted to listen to his interview because he’s always negative against Zuma. I bet he was supposed to die but ancestors said go back and do the right thing
Gogo, intellectual capacity is overwhelming like music to my ears and his calm spirit in his articulations of facts, and reasoning surpasses speaks with volume of Gogo rich wisdom. I really learned a lot from the old man. Sizwe many thanks to you, you are such a great listener and good interviewer.
Gogo Aubrey Matshiqi is always such a breath of fresh air. Political analysts do well to come to this platform and learn what analysis is all about. As always, Thokoza Gogo...

He is always spot-on,such genuine and intelligence should 've been the one that plays part government formations and strategies
"Like him or not, Jacob Zuma is a brilliant politician".
Former President Jacob Zuma is not an academic politician but a practical example of a life that was dedicated to the politics of the country. Politics is his bread and butter. He cannot be underestimated . His rise this time was because of the vacuum that he noticed. He said he is old but there is no young person who rises with enough power to challenge the ANC . That is is all that resurrected him from his sickbed
He could be old but his good intentions aren't
That was a powerful statement
I love this man, he's very wise, thank you Sizwe for bringing him. VIVA MK💖
I always enjoy Gogo Matshiqi 's view on Politics, I pray his strength moves from strength to strength. Thank you Sizwe, spread the fire 🔥!
Praying for devine intervention during these elections. The level of poverty and inequality is just too much.
Thokoza gogo.
I like before i watch because the best political analyst is in the house.
I could listen to Gogo Matshiqi the whole day.
A society grows greater when Old man plants trees in it shades they shall never sit. Powerful analysis
Gogo Aubrey mashiqi brilliant unbiased analysis as always, you are such an important voice in our politics. Thank Dr Mpofu-Welsh for bringing this giant African scholar. Wishing him a Speedy and full recovery. THOKOZA🙏
ANC must forget about KZN. They have lost it. They have neglected that province to their demise, unless they cheat😊
Gogo is the greatest analysts on point.. Grace be upon him. Long Live gogo
Thank you so much Koko Aubrey for your analysis and your wisdom.
Excellent interview indeed with uGogo Aubrey Matshiqi🎉
Speedy recovery and more energy to you Gogo
The most powerfull political analyst I respect thokoza Gogo
He has also proven to be the most conflicted.
I couldn't miss this conversation. Thank Gogo Matshiqi, you are brutally honest with your analysis.
Thank you Hlubi for bringing Aubrey Matshiqi once more, his insight is very enlightening.
His analysis are spiritual motivated and spot on.
sending well wishes to Gogo Aubrey Matshiqi'for a healthy, long life.
You're very right sizwe .. I'm of the same opinion that if anything sour/bad is to happen in SA it'll be instigated by the anc
Wishing Gogo Aubrey good health 🙏🏾
Thanks for bringing this moving history Book at the right time
Definitely i'm voting for MK🖤💚🖤💚 tomorrow 29th May. Being on the right part of history!!.
Qina Mkhonto, Qina!
One of the most objective and sober minded political analysts of our time.
Interview president zuma did was amazing,obaba is looking champion again,very excited for our future government,so very glad you are on the mend,blessings
Madness is really sickness which makes you confused between right and wrong ❤❤❤❤❤
Me watching this after elections and appreciating the analystic skills
Me too 😂
Aibo same
Then we might aswell let "the Markets" decide then. Why should we bother to vote?? What's the point of this democracy if the end goal is merely to please the faceless markets?
The markets must respect the will of the people.

You nailed it Sir👌🏾

@@patrickthorp3816 Yes, then they must vote for us since democracy is about doing what they want
@@MotlokwaThwii unbelievable arrogance - a refusal to learn from the lessons history has given us is the definition of wilful ignorance...
Always a pleasure to hear Gogo. Confirms a lot of things.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.😢😢😢😢
What's worse in SA is that we moved from the wickedest (Apartheid) to the wicked (ANC).

Gogo Aubrey is exceptional in reading the balance of forces
Couldn't have said it better!🙌🏾
Thank you Sizwe and Gogo very insightful
The interview i have been waiting for before the elections
So do I.
Yooo ! You are correct Mhlekazi people do not analyse facts anymore because of their hatred for Zuma.They do not see anything good from him.I do agree with you that love him or hate he is very smart in politics.

Thankyou Aubrey Mashiqi and Sizwe for anther interesting take on SA politics.
I pray that Gogo Aubrey Matshiqi gets better. Insightful conversation as usual!
This convo symbolises all that has gone wrong in SA,you have people like uGogo blowing hot unstructured air and people like sizwe doing the listening.
True, the very existence of MKP and many others, is the ANC in all broad terms... We keep praying for order on the day and beyond
Thank you Dr Sizwe Mpofu for bringing uGogo again you have no idea how i like listening to uGogo he is a blessing to us as South Africans special the youth.

Mr Aubrey Mashiqe, both wisdom and competence in one person, Siyabonga Mr Mpofu..
Yohhh I’ve beeen waiting for this interview! 🙏🏾
I love Zuma. Praying for complete recovery to you Gogo
Good to hear from Gogo!! Get well my learned Senior
Thorough appreciated the razor-sharp insights from Gogo Aubrey Matshiqi. Thank you to SMWX for making it possible.👌🙏
The tendency to support a 'person' vs a competent team that works cohesively ,for all the citizens of the country , is a recipe for an unhappy outcome .
But “unhappy” for who? You legitimately can’t be unhappy if you didn’t vote for that “individual” 😂
Mbeki used to talk about the cult of personality. He also said the ANC was going to die an embarrassing death... Nawa 👀, sibhekile!

Insightful interview Dr. I admire your work.
Can't miss Gogo for anything thanks
Thanks Gogo, as always- incisive and enlightening.
Excellent Interview. Intergrity And Honesty. Thank You
Aubrey, wishing you well with your health. Sterkte!
I'm traditionally a DA voter, and this year am voting DA provincially (they administer well), but not nationally (I don't like their policies, and negative type of narrative that they push).
Thank you for bringing in Matshiqi, it been sometime not hear him, again thank you
Amazing interview, I'm learning so much
Iyabhubhudla inkezo...lukhulu luyeza. Pray for KZN...pray for S.A
Indeed we have to pray hard
I think if anc loses Gauteng and KZN will be a good wake up call
I can't agree with you more.Let ANC loose both but peace be prevailant throughout the elections.MK I good new if it's here to give ANc a lesson.
I want ANC to loose 4 province's
Thanks much for bringing Gogo Dr. Aubrey Matshiqi just before the watershed elections, what an insightful interview!!👌🤛💪
Wishing speedy recovery to ugogo u Matshiqi! May izinyanya zakowabo noThixo zimsikelele 🙏🙏🙏.
We still need him to teach us & share his wisdom with us!
Great interview b4 we go & vote! Siyabulela Hlubi!
What did you learn?
This is intresting, MK is going to do well in this election🤞
isightful topic with Gogo Matshiqi, thank you
Thank you very much, Mr Aubrey Matshiqi, for being for authentic and honest, your comments are so enlightening, we need such people, may God give you good health
Thanks!
Thank you! 🔥
Where i differ with Gogo is trend of decrease by ANC. The situation is totally different to previous election periods.
Firstly Zuma factor cant be equated to COPE.
Zuma takes rural and urban voter respectively.
Thirdly Ramaphosa has been a disaster.
While cope was only Urban based

Gogo Matshiqi, My purely political analysts. He clearly unpacked all the issues in a more simple way. Plz SMWX keep him healthy for us.❤❤
We need more Old people who think and analyze politics such as GOGO Mashiqa...
Thank God that Gogo Aubrey is alive and well... I view him as a national treasure in this confusing political landscape that we have. He makes meaning of the madness we see playout before our eyes. Wishing him plenty decades of health.
This topic sharpened my mind
Gogo Aubrey Matshiqi is the most insightful, educative and objective analyst in RSA to date.
EFF will suprise everyone like how they did when they first set foot inside the political scene of South Africa... Malema is an unpredictable leader who is an archive of SA politics 🤞🏾
We will grow, we are cruising nicely!
From what I am seeing EFF stands no chance in these elections
Welcome back Gogo, you have become part of us we pray for your Full recovery to keep provocating our thoughts
EFF is the King or King Maker. Period ❤❤❤
❤
❤❤❤Indeed
You talking about the highly aggressive guy? The one who never stands up when there is a disaster but is always about war talk?
people take EFF for granted . they will be surprised.
Hilarious
Thanks my brother Sizwe also thanks Gogo for this interview 🙌🏿
Always refreshing to hear His views. Impeccable
I couldn't be more happier about his recovery 🙏🏿
The best analyst ever Thokoza Gogo Aubrey 🙏
Woooow, much and much respect to you Gogo....
What a treat to have Gogo with us before the elections. His voice was missed during the campaign season
All I can say to ugogo thank you for being our eye opener and also thank you so much SMWX
Amazing as always Gogo thank you for your insights.
Great people come in during difficult times in our lifetime.
Gogo Mashiqa has changed his tone about Zuma and MK. The way he spoken last time was putting it as a disgrace, but now he changed and praise the brilliance of Zuma. I am shocked😂😂😂
True
True
Facts are stubborn
I didn’t even wanted to listen to his interview because he’s always negative against Zuma. I bet he was supposed to die but ancestors said go back and do the right thing
Am also suprised....😢
Vote MK!

Great interviewer, great interviewee. Well done Sizwe!
There is no better time than listening to this interview on the eve of such important election
In Africa no politician brilliant and forward thinking like Zuma
In the world 😅😅😅
.....and at an age of 82yrs
Anyway He claims he is 28 lately😂😂😂
This was such a great conversation
I would like to thank SIzwe for bringing us such wisdom on this channel and thank him for the sound quality🌹
It's always a pleasure to listen to devine insights from Gogo Aubrey. Thanks Sizwe for inviting him to your show again and again and again.
This was incredibly informative, thank you.
Long awaited,wisdom❤
