I swear ghostlady gets so fascinated with knowledge... Shes sooo respectful and attentive

Way too short

we needed 3 hours of this guy

Beautiful 😍 🤩 👌. It's like those sessions around the fire 🔥 and you can't see each others faces. All you can see is your own visuals in head guided by Umalome's voice

Mac and Sol are like 2 children listening to uGogo's stories at night. They are so in tune and interested in the story- its so cute! Sipho is a great story teller!

Dr Sithole is genius. He should be part of the kwa mai mai episode

[@njabulozungu8845]

I second you on that, he'd be a spectacular narrator for that episode session.

[@loops7262]

I could listen to Bab' Sithole for hours, his story telling is impeccable. He just took me back to a time where our country was vibrant and full of hope. Ngesi Xhosa ndinga mbiza igqirha le ngoma, meaning he heals through music. He is so powerful, God bless his soul. Thanks guys.

[@MichelleFreedomBelle]

Guys, is it just me or was this episode something else? It’s not obvious like the many other impactful/entertaining episodes but I feel different after watching this. I feel lighter, more at peace and I need to hear more from this elder. This was awesome and spiritual for me. Curious to see if anyone else feels the same because I can’t pin point why this interview is making me feel like this. Either way thank you God for these people❤

[@loops7262]

You are not the only one, I am so emotional. Bab'Sithole just took me back to a time when our country was so vibrant and full of hope. He reignited something in me, I just can't say what but he brought me joy and comfort. At some point I was hoping Mac would just let him speak without questioning and the camera rolls nje. I was going through the comments just to pick up if indeed I was the only person who felt a type of way, so powerful.

[@leratosweetness382]

The feeling is mutual, this is the feeling I failed to get when I tried watching "Spreading Humor"(no intention to diss the 2Ks). This guy is a tank of Wisdom and a lot of chillers might sleep on him because he is not that well known (almost fell in the same trap).

[@katstix6572]

Yes hle!! He didn't come to tell a sad story or anything like that but I'm so peaceful watching this. Like we just drank from a well of calm waters. Also his voice is sooop zen

[@GwenMats]

Same feeling ❤

[@malambule]

Ngiyabonga kakhulu

[@tjrmakhetha]

What a profound man. Can't believe I never heard about him till this episode. Another reason why the podcast should be celebrated for bringing South African gold to its own people. Your reaction to him writing Wethembisile by Unathi was not big enough. lol. One of the greatest songs of the 2000s decade. The fact that he composed those 4 songs from Zabalaz also is just crazy. A phenomenal man

i didn't know ubaba Sithole before this episode and he is such a genius. i enjoyed watching this and the fact that we both from Umlazi, shout out....

[@malikpayz]

The manner Dr Sthole took us through his journey, you can make a movie out of his story💯

[@MilileMaguma]

I absolutely loved and thoroughly enjoyed this interview /conversation really. The history, the stories behind our amazing South African legends, legendary groups and timeless hits, are amazing to hear. I have a suggestion for McGyver, is it possible to have a legendary show on your network particularly for the older audience with our legendary artists sharing such stories with someone older curating the show much like what you've done with Spreading Humour A.K.A 'The Bantwizies'. This can be hosted by a seasoned broadcaster in the industry that is well known and respected to pull the older generation to your channel too. And because you already have the young ones subscribed, this could also be a great way to educate and inform them. This means we are preserve our history, telling it ourselves and celebrating more of our living legends. Just a suggestion, otherwise, a job well done with this channel!!!

[@thinamadikizela9233]

What Dr Sipho Sithole did with sabc honoring Busi Mhlongo was epic. This guy is a genius

[@KalmDownChannel]

Truth be told, South Africand had morals and values before 1994...the economy was stable, ZAR was very strong...hope y'all are gathering some reasons to go vote next year!

[@___day]

before '94 we couldn't vote. hope you gather decorum yourself

When he talked about 1808, Splash Jam, Black Sunday and Slaghuis, I knew he knows where South African Hip Hop came from, so many big artists came from there. This interview has so much insight and very useful to those who are looking into venturing into music. Thanks for the knowledge Bab’ Sipho Sithole.

[@andilemayisela3682]

One of the most educational episodes. I really enjoyed this. Maybe King David should also invite Dr Sithole and have a 3 hours interview

[@leendormaphanga8426]

As a person from umlazi all these stories he’s talking about gives me goosebumps cause I know what he’s talking about and I’ve seen people doing what he’s talking about which is being a garden boy in Chatsworth

[@MJ-jn8ul]

I didnt know him but this is one of the best interviews its like talking to John Kani, he is sooo natural and relatable i didnt get enough of him at all😭...also bcoz they distracted him a lot...this man has stories for many more hours.

Khanyo Maphumulo is the vocal lady in Sarafina that leads Freedom Is Coming. She also sang with the Shabalala Rhythm on the song 'Kanti Wena Wenzani". She is magic vocally.

[@bongiwendongeni8845]

The memories of 90’s and early 2000’s just came flooding in as Dr Sithole spoke. He literally dropped the soundtrack of my childhood into young adulthood.
