When Khaya said, "until you're willing to do it God's way, then you're not ready for marriage..." 👏🏽

[@phelomohale4686]

And I just want to apologise to Kaya, after his divorce I didn't care much about him anymore. There's really a thin line between love and hate, he is as human as I am, but because he is a king 👑 of the 1st`s. I looked up to him so much.how ever when he was down I had no right and he doesn't even know me, but I judged him, Ntando seemed so perfect for him. I'm sorry my brother. I forgot that all of us in this journey we are thriving and God loves us all. You seemed to be in a better space and I tap into that energy. love you Kaya Mthethwa.

[@mfundoskindwandwe9590]

Me too...I can relate to your sentiments😰...n am truly sorry for that

[@andyzitho9625]

After listening to the Podcast, I couldn’t wait to come here and repeat this conversation. Khaya is so well spoken, loved and enjoyed this conversation. He MUST please come back❤️

[@lindokuhlekubheka7304]

I did the same thing❤️

[@nothile]

[@tebotshungu6728]

Same. This was too good!

[@zinhlephiwokuhledlamini8194]

Literally 🙌🏽😩

[@BlaqpantherMelanistic]

Same here, wanted to see the chemistry 👌🏾

[@globalchar]

Khaya’s laugh is straight from his heart, it’s so contagious😂❤️

[@neosweedo4962]

The most authentic interview I have ever watched…. Mpoomy you are phenomenal at what God had called you to do.

[@mandymkhwanazi1763]

Listening to this just made me realize what a power house we have in Mpoomi. Our own Oprah Winfrey at such a young age 😍😍

[@nompumelelomziba]

Mpoomy your conversations are sooo wholesome 😩❤❤. I'm early in my twenties and i just love how you keep educating yourself and drawing so much from books, interviews etc. There isn't a podcast I've listened to that you hadn't mentioned something powerful you've drawn and learnt from what you consume. Inspirational ❤

[@debrahabraham2705]

Powerful, raw, emotional and full of wisdom loved every minute of this 🙌❤️

[@noluyolongceke9777]

The most beautiful podcast yet! I weeped on this one! Khaya is the true definition of a human! Absolutely love him. Well done Mpoomy! Don't be shy to bring him back again ❤

[@MalindiN223]

[@bosslady8621]

Khaya's laughter is so contagious 😂

[@Lebogang_ct]

[@boipelomogudi6861]

"Taught me who I'm not by getting the things I thought I wanted"

[@anitamathenjwa4089]

What a beautiful podcast! ♥Khaya is such an incredible human! I've been a huge fan of his work and my love for him has grown!

[@thatotr8954]

I'm a great fan of the work God does through you Mpoomy.

[@shamelesskay2737]

“The stock that we must take is not what has happened but who we have become.” -Khaya Mthethwa That spoke to me🙌🏾

[@leratomamabolo2081]

I also went through a divorce during lockdown so I can relate to what khaya is saying and ya having to look at yourself in the mirror and admitting your own mistakes it’s hard. Thank God I never got to a point of drinking antidepressants but to this day I don’t know how because I was at the verge of depression but only God knows how I survived. My daughter who was then 8 years old was my saviour and she prayed for me daily and said to me don’t worry mommy everything will be alright. It’s been 3 years and wow she was right. I thank God for her but I’m still rediscovering myself and I do love the process and the journey I’m at. Thank you Mpoomy for this and I only saw it today I guess God led me here. I am enjoying my journey with God. The good thing is me and my ex husband have a good relationship/friendship and we co-parenting smoothly. That’s another topic on its own because it was hell but I thank the Holy Spirit for advocating for me. God is good

[@zibusekunene]

For the first time I watch your podcast and not comment during the conversation. This one hit home for me. There is so much I wanna say... thank you Mpoomy

[@nkululekolekositholeonlife1980]

To be where I am currently and have God lead me to this conversation, has been life changing. Been on a journey myself and ngiyadinga ukwambulelwa ngalokhu uThixo akusho ngam engidala engine that emhlabeni. Got so emotional watching this and realizing that some day soon ngzobubona ubukhulu bomsebenzi UNkulunkulu awenzayo empilweni yam...sengingaphesheya. S/O to you guys for this🥰🥰

[@thatoolga]

The mantle on Mpoomy's life 😭🔥🙌🏽 What a beautiful episode! The ability to gracefully interview Khaya and Ntando and there is so much to learn from both episode, also both their level of maturity 🙌🏽 It's not always where you hear someone who's divorced speak so highly of marriagelike Khaya did 🙌🏽🔥 I also love love Art and Worship! Ngambulele is my song too, it's a song of revelation 🙌🏽 While Avulekile is Declaration, Love it! Definitely will be attending one of the events on the 4th or both ! 🏌🏌🏌

[@zikhonasiswana2719]

🙌♥️♥️♥️ I don't even know which part struck me the most, the entire conversation is ministering to my current season. I always say I will never allow my current season to discredit all the great things God has done for me. Mkhulu umsebenzi awenzayo empilweni zethu♥️🙌

[@ntandomtwa2220]

We love you Nyambose... Thank you for your ministry and honesty. May God continue to shield You and walk with you all the days of Your life mfundisi...

[@nonduduzosamkelisiwe7320]

I liked the understanding y’all have. The way you ask questions and the way he answers. Took away few things there about Identity (how we define ourselves), the importance of character development, the Hope we should have in our down times, Growth / change and how Khaya just defined marriage.

[@siba92]

It's so interesting to watch Mpoomy grow in all her platforms. It's an inspiring journey. Khaya Mthethwa is well spoken, his story or this conversation is one for the books, the one which I'll always come back to it and re-listen. ❤️

[@tsepangmahooana1182]

Mpoomy enjoyed this conversation as much as we all did...I relate so much with almost everything, I struggle with celebrating myself...There always something I feel like I could of done better

[@thobilemlimi3844]

I love this platform ❤️ Positive vibes only ✨️ Safe space ... Thank you, guys, for a great conversation 🙌🙌

[@lungingubane379]

I love how you always make every guest so comfortable when having these conversations, they are always so genuine and themselves. Tjoooo Mpumi, you just hit the nerve there when you say birthdays are awkward. I always thought I am the only one, I even go to an extent of dissappearing and switching off my phone. I like spending time with myself on birthday and just reflect on the goodness of God.

[@rebbekandahuma2173]

our lowest moment are designed for us to get closer to God and feel His tangible presence. The finest of works are made during those times.❤️

[@mellisamadondo4942]

Absolutely loved this episode. The conversation was so deep and vulnerable yet so light. Kudos Mpoomy. Much love Khaya!

[@annabelmakukula6513]

Absolutely enjoyed listening to this, so much wisdom. Thank you, as a fellow people pleaser Iv been blessed.

[@vhiekagola]

Who else is running to search for Khaya's songs after watching this :) 🙃

[@SylvieSij]

This was your best podcast ever. It's like 2 buddies having a convo. When Khaya spoke on leadership being hard I resonate so much...I'm in a leadership position & truly it is hard. You must think for & of everyone when it comes to decision..

[@mpusengmosupye311]

This was your best podcast. Mpoomy's flow in conversation and the questions she asked gave Khanya an opportunity to be authentic and express himself in the most graceful way.

[@zabangunimfeka9153]

I listened to this podcast twice💖 You give is wholesome conversations Mpoomy👌🏾

[@Keabetswe.Sithole]

Always been a fan of Khaya, what a wholesome and beautiful conversation ♥️

[@nomthandazomsenga2948]

Am watching this for the 3rd time...He spoke 2 me, A very fruitful conversation

[@sinelizwinkwali9845]

Guys!!! go and listen to the PODCAST version, it has 26 MORE minutes and DAMN this interview was so good that it made me reflect on my life and marriage on a deeper level. Thank you Mpoomy and Khaya for the amazing marriage talk because at times we want to tip-toe around what you really want to ask ( understandably so) but wena Mpoomy maaan you respectfully asked the question and the response was ENOUGH. Yho guys we need young people's marriage talk, we know what the old people would say referencing to their times, but we want to know " how do we navigate marriage in this new age and environment?". Congratulations on this new season 👏👏👏👏

[@judith.bolomo]

Thank you for this. What's the name of the the podcast?

[@khanyisagura4377]

I keep pausing to go listen to my fav Khaya Mthethwa songs. I'm off now to listen to Mkhulumsebenzi 🥰❤️

[@nqobilefortunate8742]

wow!!! thank you for this interview this guy has been tainted a lot by media, however these podcasts give us a glimpse of the core person hey and thank you for the song Mkhulu Umsebenzi Owenzayo that song got me through a very great depression and dark place in my life it was rough😭😭😭I kept declaring this song in worship and look at God now in my life I still pitch myself

[@ntombizethulubisi260]

It's 2018, 3 December I had just moved to Joburg & started a new job. Mkhulumsebenzi has been playing since my morning drive from Mpumalanga. I'm leaving work to get essentials at Newtown Mall. I'm driving out, 2 minutes into it I'm stuck in traffic in an unfamiliar road to my place. Relying on my phone as my GPS, I'm looking scared thieves saw through me. They demanded my week old phone at gun point while inside the car. At first I thought I'm being hijacked. Phone was insured at 15:00 and 18:00 it was gone. Fast forward to 2023 I'm seeing lowo Msebenzi that done. Thank you Khaya for the gift of song. My current theme song is "This I know, Unguzungezile". Thank you Mpoomy, I appreciate you a lot.

[@sihlesigwela1877]

Did you get a new phone through insurance?

[@duduphampha8372]

What a life giving fun conversation with Khaya Mpoomy.. I thoroughly enjoyed it... Khaya, I loved how you refused the plane curse upon your life, look where the Lord has taken you to... Powerful.. Keep on shining for Jesus guys

[@bellows_colleen]

I love Khaya and how he laughs Mkhulumsebenzi - same thoughts literally same !

[@YouTuber11111]

Quite a profound interview. Thank you for your wisdom Khaya, it was nice to relate with you in this way. Excellent interview Mpoomy. I love what he said about prophetic declarations in songs, I have always felt the same way. Also love how he reflects and holds himself accountable. You are extremely talented Khaya and we’re so happy that you braved the storm after the divorce and came out on the other side. None of us are perfect and yes indeed, marriage is still a beautiful thing. May God continue to bless you!

[@nomondemakaula7564]

Great interview, so inspiring and relatable. Can we also not forget that Zamajobe was one of the first black people to win idols

[@xolisileprecias9161]

Zamajobe won idols, I didn't even know. I love her and her sound but this important fact I had no idea.

[@mduduzimsibi4847]

No ma'am Zamajobe was a runner up, she did NOT win!

[@InspiredBy_]

I had the conversation with my partner last night about how much I never celebrate myself. I feel like I keep looking for a new challenge. But it does bother me. I do feel I work hard but when I get my outcome - it feels like I focus on what I could have improved. I hate parties so much that I am trying to get out of having a wedding as well. Argh, I am seeking therapy as well

Thank you for driving this conversation so gently @Mpoomy we got to hear how Khaya was honestly and truly holding up in the mist of his turmoil .

[@mabongikhoza]

Beautiful conversation, as usual, siyabonga. I am currently obsessing about Khaya's collaboration with Bishop Benjamin on the song "You will never leave". Respect bhuti. I love all your albums - still have "All about Jesus", I love every song but "Lendawo" & "Atmosphere" gets me boasting about Christ 🙌 you are an incredible songwriter.

[@beatanamene2307]

[@nomzamomtshali7713]

The intro alone just spoke to a part of my life that is messy, leadership is hard and that's a fact you'll never understand until you are a leader yourself. Thanks Khaya for unpacking this so authentically and gracefully. You spoke for us all.
