A fountain of wisdom from ekhaya eKezi( the home of stalwarts) proud!

[@sylvestert7490]

At his age you wouldn't expect this level of energy and engagement. Interesting.

[@charijindi1876]

"When I look at a dance, I'm looking at the cosmos in motion [...]. Through attire, through dance movement, which is choreography, you are creating an ambiance. That ambience is a rain ambience. The more intense the ambience, the more repetition, the more copying of the rain atmosphere, the stronger the chances of the rain falling". Pathisa Nyathi. Profound. This man deserves an Honourary Doctorate in Humanities.

[@geniuskatekwe1851]

Totally agree.

[@tinashe6383]

I agree with you we need to share this episode wih our networks of friends

[@babakawaz8225]

This is an example of what it means when you're led by the wisdom of our ancestors and spirit. The 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@TheZuluman7]

Well articulated fact !

[@morgenmziwanemhlophe9796]

You are right, its only when u meet the man, speak to him, then you begin to appreciate him

[@McHalogen7]

"If you want to understand an African don't get into his shoes for he didn't have shoes, but he had a mind that he used to build..... " this one stuck with me.

[@Kubrooke]

hat off to Ntate Pathisa Nyati. Murume ane ruzivo rwakadzika ane rudo nechido kuvaAfrikan.

[@munyadaisy]

I pray that God give Mr Nyathi long life and the universities in Zimbabwe should honour this man and the President of Zimbabwe should put him in the circle of his advisers, they need his wisdom.

[@MrRamoyo]

Can we start this awareness for the need to have awarded honorary Degree starting with University of Zimbabwe

[@babakawaz8225]

This is an example of what it means when you're led by the wisdom of our ancestors and spirit. He's the gem and gift to all Africans that care to know themselves and beyond.🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@rolandmoyo1238]

Thank you he deserves to be called Dr Nyathi i dont know upto today why he hasnt been called that way after all his academic contribution i feel something has to be done very soon.Well done team.Also can we have Busisa Moyo if possible

[@Omega1st]

He does not need Accolades so as to appear important when the knowledge he possesses is that which is more important.

[@digbymeacher6415]

I'm 47 years old, but I would gladly sign up for elementary class with you Professor. Wonderful conversation, thank you Trevor for availing him to us

[@amkgaka9824]

I could listen to ntate Nyathi for hours; such a wise old man.

[@finsensetv]

Mr. Nyathi's passion for our cultural heritage is absolutely infectious. I enjoyed listening to this brilliant man.

[@jaymadu4306]

No ordinary interview, this one was a postgrad lecture...

[@raphaelkhumalo3068]

Well done Trevor for this wonderful interview with ubaba uPhathisa Nyathi. Interviewing ubaba uNyathi is difficult. Sadly due to the politics of ethnicity local universities like Nust and Lupane State University can't give him the honor of a doctorate or professorship.

[@elleyonaspg9580]

Principle of Mentalism. Hermetic Principle. If you want to know a African, don't get into his shoes, cause he never had shoes, he had a mind. Get into his mind. 758 🇱🇨. Mr. Nyathi, you are so profound.

[@geniuskatekwe1851]

I have been educated from this conversation. "We are quick to dismiss what we do not understand". Pathisa Nyathi

[@tichgrif]

Very true ...

[@masimbakapishe]

This man is indeed a well of knowledge. He is indeed a national treasure.

[@simmats7400]

Pathisa please have your own channel and podcast, we will tune in to your wisdom through “those gadgets” that we are listening to. We need such good content.

[@nyashasiziba6065]

Ndatenda Hangu, Long Live Mudhara wedu uBaba UNyathi, Long Live,

[@ITholeLeNdlovu]

Bring Cont Mhlanga as well please Trevor

[@charlesndlovu2903]

I've always marveled at the rich well of knowledge that uBab'Phathisa Nyathi is.Always enjoy his writings. There's a lot of meaning in an African name.

[@oliverchipoyera]

Ha Trevor nhasi wapedzerwa kkkk I never saw you being relaxed like this before and today you are wearing Two shoes the most shoe was that you were listening through

[@emmanuelgwenzi3101]

A vast sea of important and priceless African knowledge. Thank you Dr Pathisa Nyathi

[@petermura3763]

By far the best conversation I have seen here. I hope more like him come on the show and we can have an Afrocentric conversations

[@d12cov38]

me too, we have great minds that we dont even use and cry sanctions

[@petrosshayanowako4789]

Pathisa is a wealth of wisdom. If only we had just 5 people like him our cultural heritage would be well protected

[@nathanielzuze4292]

Mr Nyathi has wisdom in abundance, one episode does not do him justice, i would like to see more of him on the show. As a young African who has an affinity for African culture I certainly would learn a lot from the man.

[@simmats7400]

I would have never known of this gem doing such amazing work to preserve and promote our national heritage. Thanks Trevor for bringing these silent heroes to your show. It’s a pity our government does not fund these noble initiatives, but ministers will line up at Rotina Mavhunga’s homestead for free diesel from a rock.

[@sibusisiwemmakoni9142]

I would love to have an opportunity to just sit, listen and learn more from uBaba Phathisa. Such a well of wisdom

[@tinashe6383]

@Trevor Ncube i have been following your shows for a long time but this one is not just a show to take for the sake of being informed but for changing life and understanding our identity. I think if you could allow us your funs to vote for one guest we want back it will be great if you bring back this dignified man.

[@Keith0909Maya]

This is an interesting suggestion. The team is reflecting on it. Thank you

[@tinashe6383]

@@Keith0909Maya but also how can i purchase his books. I am based in ghana

[@rawlingsmagede570]

What a man,what a legend.thanks Trevor for this interview,i enjoyed it

[@tichgrif]

Trevor im loving what i am hearing. This man has a lot of wisdom. How do i get his books.

[@wilsonmatongo2572]

Great Man with a great heritage! The issue of names reminded me of how I usually joke with friends and family on the giving of English names to children, where I would retort that you have given the child a nick name, what is his/her real name, this referring to vernacular name. Thank you Mukoma Trevor for this insightful interview.

[@TKworldwideNet]

This was amazing Trevor. I am a great follower of Mr Nyathi's work. What a great mind, he is definitely one of Zimbabwe's greatest treasures. Lots of respect!!

[@davisonmutsvedu5777]

This old man is Heritage itself. Thanks Trevor

[@albertchinhenzva8592]

Its so refreshing to listen to this kind of wisdom.

[@aubreykgomotso7357]

Every time when I listen to Dr Nyathi I become lebourated wish to meet him listening from SA

[@Shawn_G_]

[@stanmkanya4754]

Enough respect Dr Nyathi

[@simbamhofu4926]

Thank you Khulu Nyathi. Your wisdom is our national treasure, i really wish to learn more about our culture from an Elder such as yourself. Mr Ncube thank you for bringing our Elder for this conversation.

[@sebenzilemsiza2674]

Thank you Baba ,,Phatisa, you are resourceful

[@sifisosithole7656]

Thank you Trevor for yet another very interesting conversation that touched me so deeply because we seem to have lost our roots, ourselves and our culture as Africans. Very eloquent brother Phatisa yet easy going. All the best with his latest book. Siyabonga.

[@simamoyo732]

Thanks Trevor. I must say that this is the most interesting, educational and informative interview I have watched. It is less of of the interviewee but more of his passion of culture and heritage. I am impressed to say the least. Where can I get hold of his books, including those given to Trevor as gift? Please help. Again thanks for the interview. Please arrange another one where Mr Nyathi will unpack some more of the cultural and heritage wealth he has. I can sit at this gentleman's feet all day. He is a rich guy on many levels.

[@normarichards6480]

You are a power house our Father, may the Lord preserve you 🙏

[@innocentmukute3096]

Brilliant mind!!! I have read numerous articles by him and read his book about Queen Lozikeyi. Always enriching.

[@snappy9061]

Wow this was such a great conversation. Next time l am back home in Zim am visiting Amagugu with my kids who have never been to the motherland. While they may not understand now their heritage, they will eventually am sure. Thanks baba Nyathi

[@vikkisakala1163]

Thank you for bringing us this amazing, deep, informative and inspiring speaker. Yes he deserves a doctorate....the need for an truly African mindset ...I was blown. Thank you Trevor, yes it is definitely beyond the sensation !...

[@Bhizarapenga]

Bravo!!

[@AlfredBimha]

uBaba Phathisa Nyathi is a national treasurer. One of the custodians of our Zimbabwean History.

[@ruvimboomusasira2595]

This is champions league. More life to Phatisa Nyathi

[@thulanitshuma128]

Thank you very much Mr Trevor for your program, it enlightens us. Ubaba uPhathisa Nyathi has it all, he is loaded, a moving encyclopaedia, its a pit that as Africans we haven't learnt how to appreciate our own beyond colour and tribe. If this man was on the other side of our Country he could be far, he could have been given sponsorship and an Honorary (Phd degree). Anyway his knowledge will stay and coming generations will benefit from his books and articles.

[@geraldchinyama7524]

God Bless Uncle Phatisa Nyathi

[@transporter9821]

Great conversation and please bring Cont Mhlanga baba uNcube

[@proudkaturuza6121]

Pure Legend this man

[@nkosiphilempofu3798]

Ohhhh my god 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@victorkwasara]

The irony of this particular conversation being in English is great.

[@pharaohlomazolo950]

well i agree with the last bit, may we have all his works in digital audio mode or pdf, coz we are surely busy but like on this platform, was plugged in whilst pushing the grind. Also may you, @Trevor Ncube through your publications try and serialise some of his works, it would surely be worthy it

[@blessedsarema1076]

bring Cont Mhlanga as well

Dear Sir, could your guest get a federal grant?

[@blessedsarema1076]

interesting

[@butholezwewsiziba5546]

Some one needs to write a full wikipedia of this icon and also a book on the Life of Phathisa Nyathi

[@nkosiphilempofu3798]

Where can I find “instuck” on any social media platform ??

[@charijindi1876]

"All knowledge is indigenous"

[@geeteepictures3461]

On point Phathisa, about the black man being his worst enemy, ashamed about being himself. Ashamed of his food, names, language, and even skin. I am afraid he even wishes he could be extinct!

[@Liam-vh8bz]

Self hate 😢

[@alvinmoyo9796]

Where can I find the books

[@israelchitsa6633]

I would love you to help me write my book about my life and another special one
