Vatiswa Ndara was asked for ‘’coffee’’ in exchange for a job on TV. PART 1 UNFILTERED

[@ntombindamase9675]

I could listen to her all day. She is a great storyteller. I usually avoid listening to long interviews but I really enjoyed this one. Thank you David for this interview. You are a great host, with a great sense of humor.

[@motlokwa]

She's beautiful, she nailed her character ku Homeaffairs

[@vusidlamini6275]

The is nothing wrong with Vatiswa Ndara ..She stands her ground many people don't like that !!!

[@sinazomajambe6559]

In life I've come to realize that you can do everything right, follow all the steps, live by the rules and principles of the game but you will still get people who'll mistreat you. My advice to sis Vathiswa is to focus on her craft, do right by herself & everything will fall into its own place. Every dog has its days 🤞

[@sibongisenisakhele3114]

People like to cloning. When you don't blindly follow, raise pertinent issues, without fear or favour; you unsettle the modus operandi which freaks them out. It's a challenge to be principled because you will not "fit in" or be the "liked" in any space where ethics and ethical conduct is not honoured. Strong people are easy targets for weak leadership!

[@sinazomajambe6559]

@@sibongisenisakhele3114 I hear you, you make some valuable important points. But at some point one needs to do a deep self introspection after so many unfortunate turn of events one has to ask themselves WHO IS THE COMMON DENOMINATOR? & ask themselves honestly, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT EVERYONE is at fault but me? What is it about me that attracts these certain situations that I clearly don't like?.

I'm the Vuvu male version, without "dinner and coffee",

@@makavelimoagi2462 I figured long ago 😂

[@ArenaOfLibertyMinistry]

@@sinazomajambe6559 this is true,sometimes you need to do some self introspection..I think the host almost told her this but he couldn’t because of how she defends herself.I was this person until I got a new job this year and my manager helped me an I can say I’m better now .She is an amazing actress but she must stop expecting people to be angels and she does have valid points to some extend but there’s a pattern here.Let her have her own production company and let’s talk after that

[@etvscandalfanpage2011]

I loved her since was a news reader at Metro. Loved her voice. First of all the good thing is Vatiswa has recipients she's not scared in her book to mention so and so by names. What I got here is that people in the media industry sleep their way up, jobs yes are for the qualified and the willing. Clearly when she turned that guy down someone else agreed to his terms and got a job and I'm quite sure it's something that still happens even this day and age😏

[@nishakeswa9984]

I remember how I used to love listening to sis Vathiswa on Highveld stereo when I was growing up. That's when the seed of being a news anchor was planted in me and this podcast just reminded me of my first love. Siyabonga David for inviting her, looking forward to part 2...

[@kgomotsomoruakgomo1059]

She speaks so well...I thought I love the actor but I love her the voice ...she's so brilliant I can't believe this is the same Miriam from Home Affairs

“ I can't stand injustice” felt that! Cc Vathiswa and David represents two types of employees in the corporate space. And trust me, one like Vathiswa experiences a lot of pain and betrayal!

[@bizobloka8872]

Damn, I can't believe I missed this when it came out. I think she is telling the truth about the show business: I remember being an extra in Scandal 2007 or 2008, Shona Ferguson didn't even want to greet us as extras. This business is viscious & the packing order is so vivid once you are part of it. The sad thing is, it is attracting billions but unfortunately it is not what is seems.

[@VhoTurnDoor]

I really find it annoying how people water down Vatiswa's energy to always stand for what is fair and against injustices in the name of ''playing devil's advocate.'' There is always an expectation that those who have been treated unfairly and unjustly must be the ones who become the BIGGER PERSONS by letting things go or walk away. It sets a wrong precedent because once you allow disrespect from superiors, they'll keep testing your boundaries to a point of no return. How the hell does a superior insist on a meeting outside office buildings when the issues raised are about about allowing that nonsense of ''a coffee and dinner session at her own private residence?'' Won't we turn around and say ''but what were you expecting? Wena aya kwini?''

[@khensanenkomo5333]

[@brandonkupa8277]

What I have learnt from Ou' Sis Vatiswa's story is no matter how hard you think you've got life figured out, it always has a way of doing its weird thing. But on the optimistic side of things I love her zeal and passion to still strive and look beyond the situations that altered her point of direction, not ever did it shift her focus to still keep on trying regardless of how hard she got knocked down by the countless life events. The point is keep on keeping on regardless how crazy the outside might see you.
