“White farmers in South Africa need to give their land back to the people” ... Sjava discusses.

[@TheMelMan]

I never liked South Africa before cause I thought they have a very western view of themselves and think they are better than the rest of Africa... Till I went to South Africa and mingled with the people and I found them very in touch with their roots. I have a huge amount of respect for SA now and have a bunch of really good friends there. One of my favourite places on the continent. Travelling is very important.

[@buyanimlambo7941]

No disrespect to Sjava his a good artist and proud of who he is and where he comes from but No South African has been able to articulate the political situation in the country in a way that it actually is. Maybe it might be a language barrier or just lack of knowledge from the artists.

[@coolestafrican1444]

Certainly not a language barrier, African artist don’t talk about politics period... there are real consequences u could face after saying certain things, Ebro knows the answers to a lot of questions he asks, he’s jus wants to hear it from the Africans themselves...

[@zwelihlemtshali9240]

I really don't like the way American radio personalities always talk about racism in SA as if it is as ripe as it is in the USA. I get it they trying to address racist Americans through South Africans who have gone past the Apartheid era and are trying to heal from that awful past. First it was Trevor Noah, Kwesta , Casper now it's Sjava.

[@Nator_OfficialSA]

zwelihle mtshali I guess they just wanna know our side of the story and understand how are they different from us SA's I think

[@zwelihlemtshali9240]

Musawenkosi Generous I get it mfethu but there has been ample of people from SA who have been hosted talking about our history. Trevor Noah is even hosting a show there. This interview seemed like a lowkey ambush to Sjava but he was able to handle it. He even highlighted that he's not a politician but a musician because of the unending political questions he was getting from them.

[@lastsly]

Its called creating awareness bro...we all going through the same thing, we are all black at the end of the day. and we are still all oppressed.

[@zwelihlemtshali9240]

BOolar I can tell you people in SA stir racism to settle political scorers

[@zwelihlemtshali9240]

Ntshuxeko Makhubele I agree but they must do it with relevant people. Let them host politicians such as Malema to raise such awareness not musicians who all they know and focused on is making music. You can't expect a policemen to do a doctor's work.

[@unityseat856]

Its such a great feat having Sjava put the focus on Africa, but he really needs to brush up on his politics and the socio-economic issues that plague South Africa and Africa in general. Some of his statements were uninformed and quite frankly somewhat cringe worthy. Nonetheless, I still have respect for him and his talent!

Beautiful interview man, shout out to Sjava and Hot97. Poverty, jealousy, negativity aw'nandawo la, ngithi GO AWAY... Facts!!

[@lebomotaung1571]

Oh and Ebro correction, Shaka Zulu did not defend the whole of South Africa, he defended the Zulu nation. Other tribes had their own Kings/Chiefs and formed their own battles. Like my people Basotho had Moshoeshoe leading the battle against Afrikaners/Boers in the fight for land. Basically white folk back then came through and occupied land through killing the natives. that's facts.

[@pozakunlocked6255]

Lebo Motaung these are facts bro. I’m a bit disappointed in Sjavlin also for saying Basotho are ashamed of their traditional wear cause that’s not true. We don’t wear traditional attire everyday but we are definitely not ashamed of it.

[@heithmenningr]

Basotho are Bantu group of peoples. That means that you're colonist too, and that your ancestors came to SA, just as the Boers did. Whites and Bantus are both colonists or conquerors. The only people who have rightful claim to SA are Khoisan people. Please, go back where you came from. Whites to Europe, Bantus to Congo/Cameroon. Thanks in advance.

[@t_challathagod172]

Andisiwe Ralane True bro, the AKA interview with Sway, I almost shed a tear at his ignorance of the N word and black consciousness. His interview was akin to the lil Wayne "I only care about my bitches" interview. Sjava wants to be in a Shaka movie but doesn't know the 7 part miniseries released years back worldwide? Come on, we need to stop living in a box as Africans

[@t_challathagod172]

Andisiwe Ralane yeah I saw people excuse him too saying it's his personal experience and that our forefathers intended we live in this racial utopia when they died for us. I don't understand why one will think his or her personal experience is pervasive over other peoples experience, in a country like S. A and a continent like ours. And these people are public figures and representing the continent on an international platform. Embarrasing.

I'm South African, I luv SJAVA but the land should belong to the government. South African citizens (black or white, especially black) should never be handed title deeds because there's a risk of losing the land permanently in that regard

[@LB_die_Kaapie]

Mduduzi Maseko you realise that that means that you can't get a loan from banks basically because you won't have collateral. You want the country to fail don't you?!

[@mduduzimaseko1505]

That's my point exactly, black people don't own banks. If land is handed back to black South Africans instead of government, there's a risk they might lose that land if they fail to make repayments to the banks. Who owns the banks in South Africa?

[@LB_die_Kaapie]

Mduduzi Maseko So what?! That's true for every person who takes a loan out whether vlack white coloured or Indian. If you can't afford land or a house then you shouldn't demand these things. Just like if you can't afford to raise a child you shouldn't have a child. Both issues of the black majority..

[@mduduzimaseko1505]

Then why fight for the land if we gonna have to give it back because we can't pay back the banks?

[@LB_die_Kaapie]

Mduduzi Maseko exactly. Don't fight for the land it offers nothing but promises. Fight for education and jobs and service delivery. If you don't get it like you haven't been from the ANC then vote for another party who will provide what you want. No one is making you vote for a party that does nothing for the people!
