Sox is my all time Durban DJ and entertainer. When he disappeared I thought he went back to business. This grootman is very very very humble and talented.

[@trqyumc000]

DJ Sbu listens, his style of podcast is fire🔥🔥🔥🫡

[@nasomalamlela592]

Always been a Sox fan! Beautiful interview man

[@rainbow_static1]

I loved this interview! Truly inspiring❤

[@lungstarmgobozi8540]

Dj Sox what a humble guy.. Grootman ayi cha ngiwu dlalile mculo wakho, Sox, Tira, China man, salute bo buti, sbonge ngoku sjaivisa...

[@thizaman1972]

Sox’s story is very inspirational and can help many people in the situation like he went through.

[@djencores.a3392]

I remember when DJ Sox came to my School (Vukuzakhe High ) in 2014 talking about drugs from there I never even think about taking drugs and Ngyabong brazo for showing the way

[@sinasomxakaza9170]

I knew something was wrong. You'd bump into him walking around Durban looking dirty. It's great that he's overcome all that and talking about it, other artists overdose and pass away so he's very lucky

[@YouWell2]

lanuk' isokisi!!!😂...respect!!! well done on taking that all important decision of taking charge of your life bro. crazy hearing how DBN nightlife turned it's back on you.

[@make-it-make-sense]

Great conversation from gentlemen

[@kgosigadientertainment2220]

Lanuka isoki🔥🔥🔥

[@msizimagaye9406]

Sox used to just look at women with a straight face, while dj'ing and not entertain women

[@siphophakathi20]

That's the voice of maturity. Big up Sox!

*You cannot tell me Mthokozisi had nothing to with Sox's drug addiction;obviously out of envy.Only authentic EThekwini residents will get it. Especially those who've frequented Afro lounge;Tilt;Skybar;Country Club...etc... back in the day.GODSPEED Soxin* 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

[@gxobinjasambemntungwa9694]

If was,why is he still at the top of the game?

[@moe_ramz]

Accountability is important. Blaming others is not it!!!

[@gxobinjasambemntungwa9694]

[@nyandeniconsultants6894]

Good episode a good life story...Sbu needs to remember not every viewer is a ntwana who aspires to be a DJ....seems to direct a lot of his conversation at them...word of advice Sbu...leave the teaching and mentoring to after you retire from the game...that way any mistakes you male now wont temper with your credibility....right now your brand is under attack over the Zahara issues...its not the right time to come out advising....entertain bro...dont educate..leave that to after retirement or to cleaner brands or educators...

[@Mzansi_remedialChannel]

It's the sound problem again DJ sbu, who is in charge of audio for this podcast

[@Thu2za]

Remember back in the days when he was on gagasi fm and they hosted a show with dj tira and king sfiso every friday at 8pm, never missed a show…always heard new songs there. He started missing shows and at some point i think his car got burnt up not sure what the story was there. Glad to see he has bounced back fully✊🏿 “usenzan…we sox usenzan…ebsuku kangaka usenzan”

[@tkndlovu5099]

Bro I use to download his mixtapes. Lol got pissed that it's 30min long

[@GavuDaGreat]

Really enjoyed the episode getting to hear the story of Sox ,its the first time I hear Sox voice,through out the duration of the episode I have been thinking that he looks young not like someone who had been on drugs,that's why I loughed out loud when Sbu mentioned that too,Sox and Tira have very similar aura ,its just that Malume undwebile.You stand firm in your style Sbu,serious and education ,a little bit of humours that we know you of,I loughed out loud when you said ,:You are not like Oskido,igrootman yajaiva daar etiktok😂😂😂😂😂

[@siphophakathi20]

Very beautiful interview. Thanks Sbu and Sox.

[@sibusisokhosa8127]

I enjoyed the interview ,blessed .

[@Gajeni]

Sokisi we need your old music/albums on DSPs.

[@Ladesh04]

Dankie Grootman for bringing DJ Sox on the podcast. He is by far the best Durban spinner on the decks. Back in the day we use to club hop from Afro Lounge, Koko and many other Durban Clubs just to listen to his sets, that man is a real pioneer in the game 🔥🔥

[@mthunzimhlongo660]

EMfwethu kusa khona oScallas no Plush.

[@NhlanhlaNdlovu-g9p]

I grew up listening to sox and tira.i am happy you survived what kills most talents in our country may our Lord Jesus protect you from evil spirits

[@cheysa7927]

Dankie Sbuda from bringing this legend...its like siyamazi but asimazi.

[@mbusinzama2944]

I used to attend those house parties, black coffee was also part of those parties before he became well known Dj.

[@ndumisombambo6865]

I remember those parties Mbusi... Kwakufiwa blind..

[@mlungisijali9562]

[@sahousemusicdownloads]

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. * Please try getting someone who's gonna quality control the episodes before they come out, Sox's close up was off-synch in certain parts of the interview.

[@ChippaS6457]

Black Coffee is the only, or one of the few celebs that has never suffered from drug addicts. I wonder why most artists have never learned from him. But ke singabantu asifani.

[@hlonimohohlo8009]

Very Very awesome story, kodwa lip sync is an issue on Sox's camera. Otherwise it's very informative as always from ama grootman

[@luckymolaudzi1985]
