[@thizaman1972]

Dr Makoni is one of a rare breed left in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 that has been overlooked for leadership, listening to him now leaves me with regrets for not recognising his realness earlier.

[@robinfisher2103]

What a fantastic interview Trevor. Simba Makoni should of taken over Zimbabwe as our leader. I understand his insight, principal and convictions, what a good man.

[@Bhizarapenga]

Trevor, yours is the work that is laying the foundation of the rebuilding of our nation.

[@gregzzengeni1750]

I am watching this episode over and over again and I'm still hungry for more from this guy. If it's possible to bring him back sometime please do the TREVOR.

[@skadiwa1]

This is by far the best interview on this channel . Thank you Trevor and the humble, brilliant and wise Dr Makoni

[@tendaimariri9934]

I didn't know him (ED) very well but character he is portraying as the President is as I know him. That was a very powerful loaded statement.

[@Jasperjoewag]

Very loaded.... You are right. We are now in 2022... Just look at how things are now

[@nashobb1]

One of the people who makes me proud to be a Zimbabwean. I salute Dr Simba Makoni.

[@oswinmukosera7696]

Presidential material. l have always wished to see this man (Simba Makoni) in the top leadership of this our nation. Thank your Travor. You are doing a great work throigh your proggramme.

[@ellisonmusara6572]

Trevor, this forum is probably the only sober channel we have. Can you add a review session which enables people to respond meaningfully to issues raised each session?

[@teddyjonga5452]

True & Candid, Dr Simba Makoni not mincing his words!! These are the guys who know ZanuPf in & out. One of the best conversations Trevor.

[@simbarashepasipamire3200]

I think we need to start a petition for part three!!

[@epignosislabconsulting5624]

I concur

[@donaldchetse4849]

Simba Makoni, a true leader he should be part of the next leadership

[@gabrielguni3476]

Profound....Had Mugabe allowed this man to succeed him earlier i believe we could have been a better country!

[@EltonMutize]

You are absolutely right hey

[@colliuschiruka481]

indeed

[@finsensetv]

Agreed

[@nyasharashad59]

DO u know Mugabe threw Simba Makoni name as his successor but Junta ikati unopenga haana kurwa hondo!

[@muriwangul.chinyerere5381]

The junta due to their power hungry would have made his presidency difficult

[@millardmabvuva3501]

Sirs you make me cry, we are in this mass with such DURA reruzivo vaMakoni not trying to butter you but sir you have something to give to the nation

[@tanakamazungunye7203]

Those are sour grapes speaking , if he was that good he would have won in 2008 & 2018 , kuhumana kwemunhu akutsvaga relevance , he cannot say Mugabe didn't use force , anonyeba & everyone knows that , during Bob's era did you discuss politics freely the way you do now , this guy is abusing the freedom that the New Dispensation bestowed upon him

[@MyTimeToReinvent]

What an amazing conversation. Thanks Trevor for taking us behind the headlines with Mr Simba Makoni. A breathe of fresh air. Great work.

[@gilbertdiya7923]

Great interview. Thanks Trevor. I applaud Dr Makoni, the wisdom one would just cry.

[@naisonc8520]

This man knows a lot about the decadence in our culture of leadership. He has been there at the highest level. Should be part of advisors to reform council

[@foxbat473]

it was the most beautiful conversation of all time, we need to change Zimbabwe

[@simbarashenyamukachi6496]

Great interview, Trevor. Keep up the good work! Dr. Makoni, we salute you!

[@proactiveafrica323]

Always quality conversations with Trevor therefore please please avoid and dont bring toxic people from zanupf and mdca let your platform remain of real people real healers and sober not power mongers we are sick and tired of them.

[@DzagoChatsama]

But we want to hear everyone. If he had not brought Simba you would’ve have known all this.

[@mosesmusekiwa4842]

a very insightful conversation which cleared a number of wrong perceptions i had about the man

[@cakeby7cake]

A very good message of hope Dr Simba. All you have said can only happen if we establish the supremacy of unchangeable laws that are untouched by politicians. immutable law to protect the country, our resources and above all our people. God will forgive us and blessings will flow. I like your mind and it clicks with mine, l can serve and is serving my country for the prosperity of us all.

[@theclassics7513]

Dr Makoni, Dr Nkosana, Chief Ndiweni, Hopewell Chin'ono, Chamisa, Biti and Trevor Ncube can build a better Zimbabwe if given chance. The love and passion they have for the people and country of Zimbabwe is astonishing. Father God, please answer this prayer for me

[@EinnorX5.1]

Dr Makoni is well articulated and composed, this is the calibre of leadership that should have made the way to a better Zimbabwe. Please Dr can you put your words in ink, generations will need to hear what happened, m so keen on that too

[@brownepabwaungana8214]

One of Simba makoni' conversations. I have lived and agreed as well as hailed him for. Very honest views he has articulated. Thank you Trevor for this conversation. I have come to take Simba Makoni seriously,though to be honestly he was never near my thought . Pardon me if i didn't put my comment clearly. My point here is The man has exhibited the maturity,I didn't know he has,if he had it before I apologise.

[@foseraichitsiga7740]

Really profound Trevor am being enriched by each upload esp by the calibre of this ...Dr Simba , Doug Mamvura crew...I like the way such informative exchange flows.....Keep up the good work Sir Trevor!!!!

[@muriwangul.chinyerere5381]

"Violence has been the anchor of our power" - No greater truth about these people. Well said Dr. Makoni.

[@petermavunga9063]

The most insightful interview ever! Didnt know he is a scientist...always thought he is an economist...

[@BigMeech1]

Lol. Dude!

[@watsonmatimanga8534]

An amazing and inspiring discussion there. Thank you Dr. Makoni for sharing such a detailed history and great thoughts on the future of our motherland Zimbabwe.

[@florenceshavi7425]

Wow wow Trevor you never cease to amaze me!! Thank you so much for bringing Dr Makoni today pls tell him we are behind you sir....and praying for the likes of focused and caring for our beautiful country I agree with you sir change will come one way or another God is faithful zvinoita chete!!!

[@finsensetv]

I appreciate Dr Makoni's candour and honesty

[@bozichirandu1208]

on national matters sure, but sanitizing Mugabe's bad legacy reeks hypocrisy. from there he lost me and im disapoointed

[@ntatemohlomi2884]

Us South Africans need these sort of conversations for ourselves. Great work, all the best dear Zim brethren.

[@elijahmangwende8182]

Best interview ever by Zimbabwean politician 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@200308164]

This is the man who must be given a chance, and this is the time we need to see, the dawn part prepare for 2023. I for one understand the message by Simba Makoni.

[@kwazinkosisibanda1287]

Quite an informative conversation. Great interview skills Trevor, I will come for mentoring.

[@Omz7701]

I agree

[@MegaRudebouy]

He is the best we have in this country. A man of intergrity

[@charleschananda1548]

Great Interview. The man, Simba Makoni, did justice to the interview. Great insights from a true leader.

[@simbarashenyanhewe4393]

I wish this conversation is shared amongst many Zimbabweans info is power thank you Dr

[@blantinakamanura8135]

Thank you Mr Ncube and your team. Thank you Dr Makoni, l am convinced that in Zimbabwe we lack a platform where our leaders can express themselves and we get to learn from them, understand their line of thinking thats accessible to all Zimbabweans.

[@henrybanda2401]

Thanks, Trevor this gives me hope that we still have elderly people who have our nation at heart and can admit that they failed us, I wish to meet Dr. Simba I want a mentor.

[@DzagoChatsama]

One thing that Chamisa and MDC needs to do is to accept they also contributed to where we are right now in our politics from the days of Tsvangirai. Problem is they don’t acknowledge their own contribution to our demise but just want to blame others. In that way we will never move. I liked how Simba is taking the responsibility for where we are

[@lungisanimdlongwa8953]

This was the best person to lead zimbabwe after mugabe , if he comes back and decide to run for the presidency and you hear that he got only one vote that would definately be my vote

[@augustinemuchareveyi3666]

Trevor this was a very interesting...... Conversation of all time Simba Makoni is a fine gentleman that Zimbabwe needs like yesterday, Zimbabweans we should be wise on how we choose our leaders, Simba he has to throw his hat on the ring again on a serious note now, not what he did of late coz it was an emotional approach to the matters of Zimbabwe, he's now mature he has learnt a lot, he can still do it, in short he's the future president of Zimbabwe, i would love next time if you can bring in Authur Mutambara for your show, i wanna hear what the Professor says, it's only him and Simba Makoni, i thought will take the reigns after Mugabe, but usually God works negatively to produce positive results, thanks so much bringing this exciting show we are learning a lot all the best¶

[@Zimbabweyatinoda]

Trevor l applaud you and your platform.Your interview with Dr Makoni and Dr Gono very constructive,relevant,profound and prolific interviews.

[@rudochifamba7143]

Thoughtful, intelligent and absolutely no airs. One of the best of this show

[@maverickmillionaire9792]

The depth and frankness of this conversation is simply gratifying! Trevor, you are the best interviewer ever! Dr Makoni, I salut you!

[@simobanimpofu8038]

Rare breed n seems very wise n full of knowledge and blessed with humbleness

[@Nyax4Real]

If he had such a conversation before he contested for President, he could our leader today. Thank you Trevor for the platform, makuhwa ese anotaurwa about some of comrades lose weight on your platform when the truth is revealed.

Great conversation. Thank you Dr Makoni for the parting words of wisdom for the young people.

[@elvismudzengerere2093]

Dr Simba Makoni is full of Wisdom and Hope. He is an asset to Zimbabwe. Trevor you are a star

[@mutsamurenje9985]

This is really an important platform to interrogate what's going wrong in our country and how best to reverse current conditions and trends. I've especially liked this interview with Dr Makoni, particularly his articulation of concepts around power and control. Above all else, I like the hope and optimism that Zimbabwe will be normal for all of us. Let's work together, as Zimbabweans, for us to be where we ought to be. Thanks Trevor!

[@martinmanyani4022]

This is the best, sober, honest talk show ever Trevor, so fascinating, informative and well articulated. Your conversation with Dr Gono i regard simply the best. Keep it up. God Bless

Dr. S Makoni knows what he is talking about. You will have an understanding of where we are coming from and where we are going and it very sad we going down the drain. I wish him well he has a state man's touch. Thank you Trevor

[@Sesitshibilika]

This was fantastic! The openness, detail, clarity was just PROFOUND. Great interview! Very inspirational!

[@patrickzuva2003]

Ever so articulate and a fountain of wisdom, Dr Makoni shows us that we don't lack brains or able leaders. What we lack perhaps is the courage to take the hard steps we should to reclaim our country. Indeed what we have now was never a new dispensation. Just old wine in not so new bottles.

Too much wisdom there from Dr Makoni , i salute you Sir

This is my first time listening to this man... And I really regret it why I wasn't following him from that time when he was try to be the president of my country... His very intelligent I was lost.

I know the Boss personally...made me emotional going through this interview!

[@DominicSithole-jq9do]

This man has big brains that wuld make Zimbabwe proud if he had an opportunity to rule the nation of this country . He has a dynamic vision. Our polarized politics cost the nation a down fall in our economic growth by not having Simba Makoni’s non role in the Zimbabwe’s politics. The citizens are thirsty for such powerful characters to brave up and be counted in the struggle for democracy and freedom in this country. This is the time to avoid dwelling in the past and follow the direction where the new political wind is blowing , period . Simba , don’t forget that God has protected your life for you to witness the diabolic situations that citizens lives are plunged in due to bad and cruel governance .
