My life began in prison | Solly Mankga

Well done Solly Mankga ... Humbling yourself is leading you to higher places in life. God looks at the renewed mind and the heart desperate for change. You are that man.

I am driving alone to Bushbuckridge from Gauteng this Saturday. This interview will keep me company in the winding beautiful-green-surrounded roads of Mpumalanga. Thank you once again Mashabela.

[@MawethuMqalo]

I tell you what: this by far the best episode/interview ever on this show 👏🏾, I even saved it to rewatch it … it’s that good. The interview grew on me or I grew into it 🤷🏾‍♂️… Yeey this man has the Liver to say some things most of us (myself included) are afraid of saying… marriage, love, parents etc… He was dropping gems 💎 after gems 💎 yhuu 😮… so many takeaways to even mention. You are one brave man, kudos 👏🏾 for your courage… this was a MASTERCLASS 🎓

[@faithmhlambi]

I have listened to this interview more than 3 times now. My take is that you have mastered your purpose so well. You have chosen you and your assignment in life. Keep it up 🎉welldone Solly. You are such a serial entrepreneur, a true people developer, an optimistic guy, very authentic, honest and genuine, curious, persistent, courageous, enthusiastic, and optimistic. What a story!!! May God direct your steps as you maneuver in life holistically.

Thank you David for exposing us to such incredible individuals, I can't wait for you to have SKEEM GP! And a few will only speak about the trauma that the woman in our lives sometimes (unaware) put as through. Your podcast is proper and may it grow bigger.

[@forgymokalapa1487]

This has been very informative and motivating. I was skeptical to watch as I once watched Solly's interview on Unpacked with Relebogile Mabotja. I'm glad I watched. It felt like a first time and there's a lot I learned that I didn't know before about his story. Absolutely admire how courageous, driven and resilient he is. It really is inspiring.

[@lehlohonolondhlovu5568]

Great that he studied and turned his life around but some of his points and perspective on life , love are of a damaged person , he's entitled to believe that however it comes across as the same anger issue he talks about he suffers from it , in the process creating another Solly in his child , easy to say he must forgive his parents , family and baby mama but hard to do it , good luck to him and King David is thee greatest conversationalist in the world .

In the beginning, I felt so sad hearing how Mr Solly's childhood impacted him especially about his mom. As a mother, it made me realize the impact we have on our kids. I even felt how angry he is but was glad to hear in the end that he is working on his traumas. What a motivational episode & love how he preaches the important of education.

Solly's relation to women is like when you grow up without a father as a woman, then become a single parent supporting yourself and your child. You also build a wall of defence and want nothing to do with men.

On the surface he truly looks like a changed man.

I have been this podcast for the second day now due to loadshedding. It is long but I told myself that I will finish it. Every time I come back I start from the beginning because I did not want to miss anything. I always say this that the traumas Black people have are soo deep and enrooted from the apartheid atrocities. It is unfortunate that the elite and the privilege ones always downplay this notion. Truth is we inherited so much from apartheid.

After listening to this using my Bluetooth speaker I now realised the reason why I'm not okay. Having a parent who is there but not there ,cuts deep.
