After this interview, hearing John Kani's voce saying "Welcome to black excelence" hits different 🤞🏽. When Mac said fact checker looks like she is having an orgasm listening to Prof, I was feeling something similar, lol. This is another reminder that BLACK, INDEED IS POWERFUL. Well done P&C team 👏

One comment from the Prof says as leaders or people of influence you should not irresponsibly say things because someone looks up to you out there. I like that. I love it. Don't be the only rep of black excellence. Build continuity through choices of words and actions.

[@justicemaake684]

This was the kind of episode that proved that Mac and Sol are broadcasters cause it was a proper "13PG" interview as no profanities were used except when Mac said "Fuck Adriaan/Basson". It seems like Mac and Sol behaves according to the guest's demeanor and I'm sure they're able to pick that up before they start recording. As for Prof she's well spoken and this is her interview where she didn't interrupt her interviewer often even her tone was cool, calm and collected cause at the other interview I've seen her she came across fierce. I think we must have her back one day as she's worth listening to.

[@billyprince8982]

[@sibusisomani1746]

She is right, I joined UCT with no history of getting 50%,I was flowing on 90 - 100% from my undergrad Varsity, it was my first time getting a 50% when I was at UCT, it was then I realized that UCT is a real deal, studying there is really a day n night deal, but thanks God I made it afterwards.

What were you studying Sbusiso?

[@simisosenkosijele5342]

I studied a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree at University of Cape Town for 5 years. The lectures during my time were racist particularly there was one Indian his name was Prof. Marcus who was a pure racist. In my thesis was supervised by Prof. Tait who was the head of the department at my time he was very truthful in regards to my potential. I went on to secure a work through him with Prof. Benet assistance.

[@bhuuthesecond]

@@simisosenkosijele5342 How do you know they were racists?

[@simisosenkosijele5342]

They were not easily approachable and one time we had a problem with a question then decided to approach a lecture.He refused to help as he said we didn't set up an appointment but a white student went in without an appointment.Though after a student did share the solution with us.

I’m so glad the Prof called out Mac for rubbishing Maths. It’s not the first time he rubbishes educational is topics. The other day he said that informative content on the podcast is “boring”. Yerr I was so angry when he said that I stopped watching for months. Just because you find something boring Mac it doesn’t mean everybody will see it that way.

I also knew of the term 'ombudsman' before this episode, but I did not have an idea of what their role is, and I can tell you, from what was said on this episode, I now have a rough idea. I like his ignorance because he does not leave it hanging. He asks so that he can have a better understanding, to the benefit of all the chillers who are also like me at times.

[@Huios1000]

“It must be difficult for any man, especially African men, to live with a woman who is career driven when they’re not” No man is threatened by a woman who can support themselves. It’s a welcome surprise. African men have been supporting their wives educationally for decades. Taking the little they have to pay their tuition from basic education to tertiary level. We recently had a case where a man shot his girlfriend. The guy took her to law school and when she graduated she decided to dump him coz he wasn’t educated. Let’s not take the message from western feminists and preach it here where it’s irrelevant.
