[@iamjuscas7311]

Marawa has interviewed so many people and I'm happy that MacG and Sol are one of the few to interview him.

[@georgencubeking4226]

Those are the results of interviewing your idol

[@chakatsenase4808]

The best sportscaster being interviewed by the best podcaster in Africa.This will go down as one of the best interviews

[@nnanabaleni4391]

Literally 🔥🔥

[@jacobpaile7219]

This interview will be going down to the history book of well prepared,informative let alone educative interviews of all times.Big up MacG and the team for bringing Mahluputhu through.Robert knows his worth.

[@hunadilentswana6962]

Chaka, you are a genius😍❤️😍❤️😍

[@lekis5975]

Robert may not have completed his LLB but he carried that training into his media career, he reasons like an advocate, thorough research skills, articulate, persuasive, deliberate and incisive, an advocate for sport. Always a pleasure to listen to and a great inspiration.

[@ThamiNdlalane]

"body count at SABC"....never thought of it that way or even saw the pattern, so sad.

[@sifisomagagula5476]

This is how interviews should be. No PR, no bad mouthing people, clean language, can take the puns I can go on and on. Bravo guys, and bravo to Marawa the legend. Bhut’Themba. This interview must hit a million views before November guys

[@iamtumi]

I absolutely agree with Robert - What BUSINESS STRATEGY informed the SABC that taking MamNoxolo off air would bring the numbers? What DATA informed that?! Roberts rate card itself shows the ROI he was contributing to SABCs balance statement. Experience and credibility are what makes a brand have longevity. Love and Respect Robert so much!!

[@botlemooa8502]

Best interview for me in a while. Bathong, Robert Marawa exucedes confidence, o na le seriti, o charismatic...overall I am impressed both by the interview and the interviewee.

[@TheMtitilizo]

There are people whose stories move you because of their journeys. And then there are people who could be talking about the process of paint drying and it could still be thee most captivating thing in the world to listen to, simply because they are the ones telling the stories. Marawa is the embodiment of both ♥️

[@TheUltrasEnd]

Jesus Christ, this description is just as brilliant

Thank God this interview was not aired on Channel O. We needed the full story. MacG is giving us truly the best unfiltered interviews. Uncle Rob is a legend

[@lekis5975]

And to think he got fired for speaking up against female sexual harrassment in the workplace? He could have turned a blind eye, heck he could have joined the cabal, instead he chose to speak up. We need more men like him!

[@palesamokoena3735]

Can't believe it went on for over 2 hours and still felt like 30 minutes. The man is legendary, also has that funny element with him that I think most people didn't think he had. Oh is he not a charmer 😅😅😅😅. We love him man

This month we have been blessed with such great quests . We truly are appreciative of this. . One of my best broadcasters in South African. Great one team

[@mbtf4598]

Marawa is such a candid interviewee. It's cool that these Fired FM guys can speak openly about politics now that they have their own platform loading.

[@lekis5975]

Can you imagine if they all came together and formed their own station, with each one specialising in their own field? Black Power at it's finest.

This is one of the dopest interviews ever!! I never knew uncle Robert had so much sense of humour in him....never really judge a book by its cover, I just never thought he'd be so cool. I just thought he was one of those traditional guys who like things done and said in certain ways, I really boxed his personality and I was so wrong....I'm now a fan. Another thing I wanna say is I love the support these OGs and presidents of the game are giving Macgyver it's so inspirational for such a giant to show up on this podcast and humbly share with us his experiences

[@kaybeemoafrika]

Back when I was in secondary school we took a trip to Auckland Park to tour SABC. I saw Robert Marawa coming up the escalators, him and I made eye contact and he sort of pulled his Nike cap towards his face as to avoid being seen by all the other pupils. But as he walked closer to us, I yelled "Hei Robert!". He looked back at me and my team and nodded his head. It was not until then the whole team recognized him. I will never forget that moment. It was so cool to learn about his upbring, so relatable.
