Friday Drinks S10 E24: Tendai Biti - GNU Deep dive (Part 1)

A bunch of friends having a drink on a Friday discussing current affairs..

[@oliviervanhove3024]

Wish he could be a regular...this man's mind is something else.

[@HeartfeltWithGloria]

Brilliant interview with Tendai Biti. One of your best interviews. Well done. I now await Part 2 with so much anticipation.

[@DonDezz]

When you have such guests, please allow them to speak entirely their minds, please don't interject them, its your show you have years with the show and the guest have a few moments, allow them to speak uninterrupted. There is a lot that Biti was about to say but interrupted the train of thought. For example @24:30, and several portions along the interview.

[@tafadzwahodera9052]

Tendai Biti is the most intelligent and competent politician we have in zimbabwe. To such an extent that Mugabe vetoed his sucking by his own political party . Game recognize game

[@remy9531]

Ma drinks anonaka but please don't talk down or drown the guest... Dont preach to the guest.. Give him the platform to tell us his story...

[@tafadzwachikwanha5658]

kkkk problem is inozoita ngano. panodawo ka direction kuti paite structure ka. Otherwise taizongonzwa makuhwa emu ministry pa GNU.

[@WellieTheBlessed]

True these guys are interrupting the Guest whilst responding it’s annoying to watch….they should take a leaf from the DennyJ Show let the Guest respond without interruptions

[@remy9531]

@@tafadzwachikwanha5658 Direction agreed but not bible thump on the guest else why invite him? You brought the guest for their unique perspective, let's savor Biti's views and experiences...There are contra views to their purist capitals and markets views on governance, while Biti is a Social Democrat who believes in a balancing act between capital, markets and the social contract with the living human beings in the society

[@user-wp8fr1yn3v]

The interviewers take over the interview

[@georgemike8217]

Yeah that was frustrating to watch. The drunken master was basically trying to lecture the guest. We know you ain’t journalists but show some professionalism.

[@innocentmatuku9361]

Chimwe chinhu chichatiuraya takavarairwa chirungu cha Biti😂. What an episode guy well done

[@doumut1229]

I will always wish Mr Tendai Biti is back in Parliament.Zim government should liberalise and make use of intelligent citizens like Biti to be in positions.

[@godfreymudzingwa8438]

FRIDAY DRINKS TEAM - This content is priceless! It is unfortunate that as Zimbabweans, we spend time consuming low quality comedy and the general nonsense on the socials.

[@lambertmunaiwa3675]

This was one of the best episodes you ever had. I really enjoyed it.

[@albertchikadaya2685]

He is a brilliant scholar, patriot & politician. However, we didn't get enough out of him because the hosts pushed their debate & interjected too much.

[@shelleymberi8054]

As I wait patiently/ impatiently for part 2 👏🏽 Thank you ZFN team and thank you Mr Biti

[@BrianZulu]

I seriously can't get over that Nyaradzo Group shirt Tinashe is rocking...

[@MShine1444]

Tendai Biti remains one of the best things Zimbabwe has ever produced , what a sharp and brilliant mind, he can run the Zimbawean economy with his eyes closed , at one point i withdrew 3000 from a cash machine , this guy is a genius !!!!!!!!!!!

[@munyaradzimurimba9344]

My takeaway from the interview is that the most important Ministries in a Government are Security, Finance & Foreign Affairs.

[@mahlubonkemakunga3315]

I've always taken time to listen to Mr Biti owing to his ability to captivate his audience about servant leadership related storytelling. It's a pity that the current leadership clique is not suffiently tapping into such talents. Hence, the country is still struggling to address its challenges. We continue to pray for Zim to rediscover its mojo, the region, and the continent will not prosper without this. From RSA

[@nashmadaz6414]

Biti is a standout man. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽He managed to stay the course despite the fact that the interviewing was very bad! The constant interjections sies man. First, time coming across this podcast and I happy not to come back if this is how the show is run. I only was able to stay because of the wealth that Biti had to a share. Plus tsano vamwe vacho vazonwiwa nemhamba kwakuwanawo confidence to interrupt 😂😂😂😂. No mhani you guys can do better, but until then gents! Not sure I can stomach another interview that is run like this. lol If you read this comment before going to part two. I will save you and tell you the interjections got worse. 😂😂😂😂 My sazita did a bad job there. lol Lastly, in part two if you can get past the drunk guy now talking Kak, you are brave.😅😅

You guys, your channel is congested with adverts and you also interject a lot. Can we improve on that. My humble submission

[@brianchipadza8076]

The impressive brains and wisdom of Mr Biti that our country is failing to tape into.......😊

[@knowledgembadzo1397]

I thoroughly enjoyed this! Looking forward to P2. Biti is brilliant WOW! Less interjections next time please!

[@innocentmadanhire2391]

the depth of insights in this conversation is mindblowing. Thank you Baba Nyenyedzi...

[@amondhliwayo4210]

Great interview.@Tendai Biti is always insightful. However, the interviewers kept interrupting Biti. Interviewers let the interviewee flow. @Biti has so much insight which l thought he was at times interrupted before he dropped some gems during the interview.

[@alo_m4772]

Too many interjections there Tinashe. Let the man speak. This is Biti & the man has got a lot of wisdom to dish out. Let him speak pleaseee..

Not sure this was beautiful with all the interactions I don’t think so.

Nxaa hakuna Chunhu chinobhowa than to be interrupted 😢 apa you're trying to make a valid point

[@cmavuso6068]

Tinashe that wasn’t a good interview your sporadically interjections killed the whole interviews. You should learn to allow someone to speak while you write follow up questions. Don’t be like Piers Morgan you really marked Tendai Biti off the ball, in my opinion you wasted valuable time and left us wondering what was the purpose of the interview. Very poor performance on your part.

[@collernwellbdonegogolkotok5406]

Interviews done daftly by the anchors. My favorite public official Tendai Biti

[@deborahmubi1073]

I understand that you're trying to engage in the conversation but I'd appreciate it if you could let Mr Tendai Biti finish sharing his experiences without the constant interruption. It's important to respect his time and allow him to fully express himself. Let's focus on listening to his insights and ask questions afterwards.

[@MorejoyMutapati]

You are not going to get much if you interrupt the guest. It has been visible in most of your episodes. Control the narrative with questions but do not be the guest on your own show, Great work madzikoma but there are a lot of improvements to be made

[@muchit3629]

It is as if as soon as the guest says something they do not agree with someone is ready with a rebuttal. Yes, they should push back but let the guest finish their thought without the endless interruptions. We will see what kind of hosts they are , if they improve or its innate. I know us Zimbos we love to talk and listen to ourselves. I am guilty as well but thank God i dont have a show.

[@MorejoyMutapati]

@@muchit3629 I am glad you saw it as well. Good thing they have people like you and I to tell them and if they don't listen, no one will go on their show, we won't watch as well

[@muchit3629]

@@MorejoyMutapati Yep, we try to support our people but if they are not responsive like the politicians they talk abou then we can only use our currency - power to click or not click on a video. I love the show so hopefully they notice and slowly change. The host and or hosts of a show like this should not want to be a star. Other than that great format and informative show.

[@babatawandapasipanodya4324]

The other guy in black what ever is his name is spoiling the show, probably he is intoxicated, haana style ngambomira! 😮

[@dennismambure8844]

Some interesting perspectives there. What we should learn and do with the intellectual capital in Zim is to preserve and pass it on. Our Business & Grad schools should expose their students through visiting lecturers from politics, commerce and business. MBA students should never graduate without interacting with business, scholars, policy practitioners etc

[@muchit3629]

The thing that always strikes me is we have brilliant minds, problems have been identified and dissected but we keep doing the same old same. All the intellectual capital is worthless if people do not actually learn from it and implement it. I just hope we all take away something so we can improve in our personal lives and those we impact.

[@rafiqsumaili6570]

Soo soo kudiii let the man talk kwete kumu cutter cutter
