Coming on to give kudos to Vusi Thembekwayo on representing South Africa and it's dynamic wins & losses... siyabonga MaVusana 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@m.a.n.m.a.g]

You will do the same on an international level soon🤝

[@FictionHubZA]

Pen. Kanti nawe ukhona.😂

[@FitnessGorillaa]

Basically msunu ka sizwe?

[@thobanimathenjwa]

Most definitely. He's raising the flag without making noise about it. That's what it means to be intentional about representing your home country. Iyasebenza lendoda. We surely hold him in high regards.

This is by far the best interview I have ever witnessed in my entire existence on this planet. There is nothing anyone can say to convince me otherwise, the articulation, content, information, and delivery is absolutely astonishing! May God bless the both of you and keep you.

[@nomadcapitalist]

Thank you for the kind words. Glad you found this interview informative.

[@johnmooney6862]

I agree

[@Epicmotivation360]

Vusi is a natural born speaker and smart guy

[@MindQuestSouthAfrica]

They are not going to talk about the white elites that are causing these problems. They threaten and capture our politicians, if the refuse to be captured, they kill them. Why isn't these self-proclaimed "smart business leaders" and "yada yada capitalists" ever say anything about what is really happening??

[@LUCKHEF]

I LOVE how nomad dad clearly has ALOT of knowledge but still lets person he is interviewing get points across …. VERY PROFESSIONAL

[@nomadcapitalist]

Thank you for the compliment!

[@DeepHouseTecnoLounge]

He knows how to choose who to be interviewed

[@Fredotanga]

I noticed that too. i always preach the power of family to people, we still have a long way to go.

[@justmoreseed]

Thank you Vusi for not representing a false view of SA, you stated issues and available oppotunities with such an honest view. 👏

[@michael-bryanthicks8148]

Paraphrasing Vusi: I have not seen a people progress who are stuck on who hurt them in the past rather than taking responsibility for how they are going to progress into the future. He’s a very smart man!

[@darlingtonmakovere265]

I've been following Nomad Capitalist for about 2 years now and this was my first time seeing Nomad Dad funny enough. It was great to see Vusi on this platform. Vusi has really outdone himself and i believe that theres still more to come. Bob was asking the right questions here. This was a very informative interview!

[@enochgodifk.a.6723]

@VusiThembekwayo is a mouthpiece of and for Africa. The man represents the entire continent. Beautiful discussion and insightful conversation.

[@nomadcapitalist]

Thank you for your comment. We're glad you enjoyed the conversation!

[@ChiTheAesthete]

Glad he was invited to talk, Africa is the next frontier. High risk but amazing returns

[@scholarlyreader383]

High rick. .you must be mistaken

[@cryptounleashed5305]

Completely agree 😊

[@micahmusabe938]

Vusi, the man, the myth and definitely, the legend. Love from Uganda

[@samuelo2002]

Great interview. Many countries in Africa are not obsessed about the past & who pained them. In many of these countries, the past is still the present because, the inflictors of the “pain”, just don’t want to leave. You have the World Bank, IMF, France, EU etc, desperately trying to make sure Africa remains where it is. We’ve seen the changes in Burkina Faso, Niger & Mali where these young guys have taken power & ruling with the “intentions” that Vusi outlined and have achieved great results, but the West is not having it and the result is over 17 coup attempts to take them out, especially Ibrahim Traoré of Burkina Faso. If the West could just see Africa as equal partners, this continent will change overnight, even with bad governance, the people will strive and succeed.

[@nomadcapitalist]

Thanks for watching!

[@siZobonaMakeza]

Not often do I witness VT so nervous on a public platform. A testament to your acute awareness of the audience this channel attracts and speaks to, my spirit tells me a lot is riding on this talk… Just in case you come across this comment, my brother you represented yourself and your nation well, you’ll go down in the RSA history books as one of the most paradoxical (ironically disliked by those that look like you) but extremely effective and inspirational personalities in our humble and mostly wasted generation. Love your work bhuti 👊🏾

[@JackieTravels_]

I first watched this 15mins after it was posted, here I am again and I have a feeling I will be back. This episode is brilliant.

[@tee.n9770]

As a South African🌈, I found this discussion insightful and reflective of many of the current challenges and strengths within our country. The conversation brought forward a nuanced perspective on what South Africa is today-its complex social, economic, and cultural landscape. These gentlemen highlighted key issues and opportunities that resonate deeply, shedding light on both the struggles and potential for positive change. This was an engaging and valuable exchange that encourages thoughtful reflection on the future of our nation.👏👏

[@MKL_D]

I fully agree with Vusi's point of view of SA.

[@orediretsetsimane4573]

I think we can all agree that VT was perfect for this interview, who else can represent Africa this much other than Vusi? He runs one of the most impactful venture capital firms in Africa, he best understands the economy in Africa and the factors influencing it. I applaud his sharpness when it comes to the numbers, he definitely did his homework for this one😅

[@jaylenny62]

Whattttttt Vusi our very own??? I'm forever sold. I was just watching Vusi.

[@dumilemabuya7610]

Siyabonga MaVusana. So great to see you here.

[@fabrifibraa]

He's a great public speaker.

[@andile5945]

Wow. Brilliant questions by Nomad Capitalist dad. And Vusi equally sharp!

[@semperfidelis722]

Vusi is one hell of an ambassador for our country, as much as our country and government is a lot of work, he still chose to convince the world why we should be optimistic about our future, definitely have learnt something from this.

[@8StringKeith]

Andrew, This is the job the US Media USED TO DO!!!! Thank you for actually doing the heavy lifting of real journalism 🙏 Sincerest regards, Keith

[@alkebulanafricanconversati1728]

Thanks VT for making us proud 👏🏿 , giving an honest assessment of our country 🇿🇦, and for elevating other African countries. We win together, and indeed immigration is really a problem.

[@Islam4All805]

As a Nigerian I can tell that Vusi is one of the most intellectual business minded soul in SA

[@AudioCardinal]

What a great interview….. Vusi dropped a lot of gems…. There’s a lot of hope for the continent of Africa moving forward

[@SimonAtVolkswagen]

Shoutout to Vusi for representing us exceptionally well. Great conversation gentlemen 🖤

[@ngana8755]

I'm very impressed by Vusi. He's a great advocate for his country, warts and all.

[@kamohelomoloi]

I have my issues with Vusi, maybe I'm jealous of him or whatever But truth is we need this guy as at a Ministerial Position he could bring about some positives. We need this guy.

[@banelemngqibisa1169]

Just by listening to this interview, i realised that Africa is Hungry and ready.

[@manganim197]

Vusi is one of our own. Proud of him.

[@wojohowitz5432]

This was such an important conversation for me to have listened to. It resonates with everything I have been contemplating. Will now look to South Africa and other African countries to invest in. Of course I am in this game to make returns, but to be a part of growth and change in Africa makes me feel like I am contributing as well.

[@MachoMandem]

Didn't expect this collab! 🇿🇦

[@MZEEWA255]

Very insightful, thanks Vusi from Tanzania 🇹🇿

[@rukirabasheija23-vf6vr8qb8n]

A big thanks to Vusi. Advertise East Africa 🇺🇬🇷🇼🇰🇪🇹🇿

[@iramunn9611]

Brilliant man Mr. Vusi is, excellent insights, and exemplifies the calibur of speakers you had at Nomad Capitalist Live. Thank you for sharing.

[@nomadcapitalist]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@thembasithole3274]

Accountability, personal responsibility, leaders to take us there and get it done and vision for the country, Who do we blame for our past? Getting stuck in arpatheid! 30 years is a long time not to drive our vision as Africa...thanks Vusi!!!! Without vision we are stuck.

[@Squmama_NKR]

Here for big brother Vusi Thembekwayo. We’re not related but the gems he gives the world exceeds what any family member has given me. 👏

[@asdahl756]

VUSI'S intelligence, clarity of thought and rhetoric are top !

[@moakm9626]

You've definitely won those public speaking tournaments

[@davidheaney1095]

What a great man, speaks a lot of sense.

[@wonke-bo4fx]

Am from South Africa❤and am follower of Nomad capital😂🎉

[@zwethandie]

Thank you, Andrew and The Team, Dad and Mr. Vusi Thembekwayo, excellent work!

[@nomadcapitalist]

Our pleasure.

[@chinweamaka]

Nigerian living in DRC. When you mentioned both countries, I shouted "Yesss!!!" 😅 I don't know why, but thank you for the mention and thank you for representing Africa well.

[@RobRoy619]

This guy is an example for South Africans he is a very smart, responsible and well spoken gentleman. I imagine a lot of his fellow countrymen feel inspired by him.

[@zakesmanda8455]

I love how Vusi kept on saying "WE" instead of "I". It simply shows humility while recognizing the fact that there is a team behind him. I also enjoyed how he has advocated so much for South Africa asacountry in this interview. Great interview @Nomadcapitalist.

[@nomadcapitalist]

Thank you for watching!

[@SoundGuyKelz]

I just had this conversation with a friend that the impact and influence of the messages being passed across from the US via its media and entertainment, to the world is hugely underestimated.

[@ZintleMagazi]

Vusy representing us well! Siyabulela bhuti 👏Thank you Nomad Capitalist for this great, informative video

[@nomadcapitalist]

Our pleasure.

[@dickensmuhwezi7374]

So proud of you VT. Much love from UGANDA ❤

[@G-ManWaseKasiInManchester]

Greatest. Love the realism he projected in this interview.

[@ulisirius9027]

A wide topic! BRICS and business possibilities. BRICS and working possibilities. BRICS and educational possibilities (study or apprenticeships). Businesses and education. Business and social responsibility.

[@3ws_L]

Wonderful questions, well constructed answers. No interruption, perfect and super professional interview. Thank you🇿🇦❤.

[@manchino1540]

Insightful powerful conservation indeed, thank you so much grootman Vusi for the impactful empowered presentation of our continent, now and in the future🙏🏿

[@Fabienscritique]

We need more content like the one was displayed here... Thanks for bringing quality / realistic content into this platform.

[@ethekwini-os9tb]

AFRICANS can be greater than Europeans think . Well done VUSI .

[@TraverzeCulture]

We do business in Africa in Kenya we offer Travel, Relocation Services, Humanitarian Initiatives, and Medical Tourism. Africa is definitely the new frontier. Much success 🙌🏾

[@TheAtoZMedia]

Very insightful and objective analysis about investment opportunities in Africa by Vusi!

[@alice-MizAbrahams]

Great and needful conversation, blessings Vusi, listening to you brings a glimpse of hope for SA.

[@nomadcapitalist]

Thank you.

[@lerryperry]

This was a very profound and informative interview. Vusi, all the best to you. Nomad Dad, keep up the good work.

[@AfiDeSouza-qf6nf]

There is an impact here, about every single points they shared.

[@j9_njoroge]

I love Vusi. He is a genius. Blessed man of God 🙏🏽

[@pasekaedmond7309]

We are well represented. We are proud of you VT. MUCH RESPECT

[@tustak]

People blame others for their failures, but they take credit on themselves for success. Both collectiveness and the individualism exist and plays out at the same time. But to know know when, what and who to blame/credit is the key, and only true and rationality must be used.

[@vincem2759]

He made a great point what the USA exports. Everything we export can be both good and bad.

[@meganhess9531]

My Son was born and attended most of his schooling in South Africa. We moved to the USA where he got honor rolls and scholarship and his teaching other kids now. He will one day be the minister of education in South Africa. I’m proud of my son and I want him to give African kids opportunity to learn and thrive too.

[@joy_villa]

YES! God bless you and your son!!!

[@muzingwenya7494]

🎉 This podcast is worth watching it all over again. Thanks gentlemen 🤝❗💯🎉

[@rebeccarenner4949]

Bob and Andrew. Spot on for Africa. Just have to move slowly and navigate carefully who and where. This is the direction I’m headed.

[@trackdiaries]

I'm from and live in the uk and I'm planning to move to cape town next summer.

[@Behave_New_1984]

Same... Where do you think it's good with small resources?

[@carl4017]

Cape Town is lovely. I grew up there. I'm in the UK now but leaving for cape town over the British winter months is an absolute blessing.

[@AskRecieve]

VT the Best ...Morena 🙏...Great choice Nomad Team👏👏👏

[@2106harish]

Great interview full of insights. I agree, you have to look in the mirror, tell yourself who you are, what you need to do, do it and go forward. Thank you!

[@nomadcapitalist]

You're welcome - glad you found this interview informative.

[@tantradossantos4501]

LOVE the Nomad Dad vibe... 🎉

[@siyabongasibanyoni6830]

im so proud to have Vusi represent South Africas entreprenurial potential

[@chinweamaka]

I enjoy listening to Mr. Vusi Man is beyond brilliant!

[@nomadcapitalist]

Thank you for your comment. We're glad you enjoyed the video!

[@musawenkosizulu9274]

I think one of the biggest issues we have in SA apart from corruption is the lack of vision in leadership. People in government are there just for vibes and benefits, that is why they are social media influencers.

[@Moneyfcsa]

South Africa was represented

[@Dgreatson]

WOWW... Vusi for SA President❤💯🤜🤛🤝

[@amadern]

Bob Henderson,how cool to meet Andrew’s dad.

[@ssenkubugeumarmukz8821]

This is good and super insightful mostly that it’s told on an American set where there is a clear difference in not only culture but also economic clear lines 😅😅😅 well articulated Babaaa!!! Yours is an amazing calling

[@cryptobeanbag7148]

What a humble intro.

[@MUHAMMADABUBAKARYUSUF.NICEONE]

Thi is great and intellectual conversation presentation of how to build an economy, that change every poor economy into economic growth and development ❤❤❤

[@alvinbaloyi4077]

He sets the Example that we should follow to branch out period"

[@Behave_New_1984]

It's not about white/black/ethnicity.... It's about deeply ingrained values, customs and culture of a particular population. This can only develop (in positive or negative way equally) over many decades/centuries.

[@davyslanguages]

Vusi my guy. Congratulations

[@crypticnomad]

He really is good at public speaking. He had good points, but beyond that, the presentation of them was much more effective than I think I could have been. In general, it was refreshing to hear nuance and intellectual honesty being presented by a well-spoken speaker. It has actually motivated me to look more into public speaking in the way he framed it. This discussion made the value of it apparent to me where it wasn't so apparent prior.

[@ronfesta771]

Me thinketh one very sharp, educated, motivated and....... excellent communicator!@!?😉😃

[@THELOF1]

Fantastic interview, listened from beginning to end. Need more people on like this from all over the world.

[@SeanDJames]

This was an informative interview and I'm looking forward to more content on Africa.
