LET ME TELL YOU WHY I LEFT ISIDINGO Don Mlangeni Nawa

[@TsoMooketsi]

Bra Mdeva please add pictures/faces of legends that the guest will be referring to when telling their stories.... it will do us good honestly Danko

[@Keekeembhele]

He said he has always expressed himself and sure he did, he expressed himself. Men cry. May God bless him.

[@Mikevura]

Of all the roles he played , Solomon Zakhe Mhlongo was well performed and surely deserves an award

[@stephenkweza9536]

I will also refer to him as Zakhe Mhlongo. He killed that role!!

[@SifisoMas]

The importance of a father to a child. Even at 64 he still suffers the scares of not having that presence. Apart from that, Mr. Don is by far one of the best actors SA has to offer. BIG UP!

[@Mandlamabolisa]

That got me emotionally too I can relate to his story

[@bhongomwanda3223]

The self contemplation that occurs after watching these interviews is so unbelievable... This channel is such an amazing institution, top tier in every category... It's such an honour and a blessing to see Bab' Don Mlangeni and listening to him sharing his story. To see him cry really broke my heart... I love his work. He has been outstanding in every character on screen, but I think " Hlala kwabafileyo" really showed us his incredible talent. So grateful for this interview.

[@siyabongatshabalala9710]

I'm 30 years old today. The first show I was ever addicted to was Hlaka Kwabafileyo and this man absolutely nailed that character! I love this man!

Hola 👊🏾🙏🏾

[@mapudi9551]

Totally agree 💯 with Ntate Mlangeni Nawa, we're experiencing a moral decay and television is at the centre of it with pushing that rot...I was debating with a friend that "Adulting" on Netflix is nonsense and nothing to build a young mind. It's really sad,they really are imposing all this nonsense on us

[@itsMrKabini]

I wish Joe Mafela was still alive to also share he's journey on KingDavidPodcast 😢

[@SkhumbuzoMathabela-wq8ug]

I haven't cried as much as I cried today through this interview. I have so much respect for Ntate Don Mlangeni 🙏❤

I was also touched. Our parents have hurt us in deep ways but the saddest part about the whole thing is that they are in denial and we are expected to give them what they failed to give us because they are ageing. 😢😢😢

Watching such interviews makes you connect with old people you grew up seeing on TV everyday. It makes you feel like you are breathing the same air with them. Mr Mashabela is mastering this podcasting thing. You can watch hia 3 hour episode and it feels like 20 minutes.

This has to be my number 1 Podcast, I mean David interview skills are top. He allows the guest to relax and be comfortable and speak without interrupting. Everything is done step by step and with context. I salute you bra Dave

David still interrupts the guests

[@itsdailygaming]

@@sibusisodlamini814 You are right Sbu, there was a time Bro Don wanted to say something about his 1st Wife and was interrupted that was lost in the conversation. We can’t be too hard on him, he’ll improve with time as he goes back to reflect…

[@nemaembenimuofhe7480]

❤Love that he gives women their flowers🎉🎉🎉

[@Lihle100]

I really got entertained when Bra Don was mimicking uTatu Gibson Kente, accurate. My dad would make us shut up everytime Bra Gib was on screen as a kid. That voice is unmistakable. I enjoyed getting to see 'ubuntu' baka Mr Mlangeni Nawa. Vulnerability. Enkosi Mr.

[@veronicakodisang2075]

This man is a legend!! I recently watched Hlala Kwabafileyo and the way this guy embodied his role there gives me goosebumps. I found myself shedding a tear, when everyone didn't believe that he was actually Zakhe Mhlongo because he made it feel like he's not even acting. Big up to you Mr Mlangeni. You are very talented and what I like is you are able to play different roles and nail each character.

Gibson Mthuthuzeli Kente, what a legend, its good to witness the huge impact he played in the theatre industry by producing renowned artists like Bra Don Mlangeni Nawa. I think as Black South Africans we need to go back to the basics when we were the POETs “Purveyors of excellent talents”.

His products will tell you once they mention Gibson Kente? Respect that actor, give them their flowers 💐

[@MissyNguqu]

Yhoooo his last words😢😢….thats my take on these shows as well, the disrespect , disgrace and shame we consume in these shows as black people is beyond sad. I did an auto-ethnography research last year and uzalo was my reference. I had to interview some of the cast and directors and the results were unbelievable. Shows like uZalo aren’t the most watched but they are easily accessible. No one would watch uZalo if they have access to Netflix, Disney or Prime-video. Whats more sad is that SABC doesn’t easily accept proposals from unknown people they prefer the same people who creates garbage for viewers. Thank you for bringing utata wesizwe to your studios. We love and appreciate his contribution to this industry. By “we” I mean me and my family and those who agree with me🤭.
