Episode 247 | Zola 7 on Brenda Fassie, Lance Sthehr , Media ,Zola 7 Show, Music ,Epilepsy 

I met Zola in Mellvile he is humble and full of knowledge, He helped me find a place to stay in Westdene then things went south I couldn't afford a place he let me stay to his place for a while 🙏🏽

This man gave me my start! I grew up about 5 houses away from his house Ezola 2 Sehoole Street and he truly is a humble person who wants to see black people win. I got a Bursary through him & I will forever be grateful!

Zola is an Icon for real. Can listen to him all day.

Bhut Zola needs to be celebrated whilst he is still alive lomuntu did so much for black people and still wants to do more , he needs to be supported and celebrated. What an icon👏🙌

Iam gonna shine in the dark njenge stars ebusuku Sing all day njenge nyoni zezulu ngoba ngibonga bonke labantu base kasi, uthando olungaka ngigcwele ngalo We love you Zola❤

Chiller's where you at??They said it cant be done so lets show them we can, hit 7 likes for Zola7 on all comments in the comments section.

Yo, MacG is sober on this podcast. He's not drinking his Grandeur as usual...even his line of questions is different here. He's showing Zola a lot of respect 🙌🙌🙌

God bless every black person reading with health, wealth & peace.

I remember when Zola shoot his hlabelela music next to the primary school I attended, he bought us lunch and told us to stay in school. this is a living legend

10 minutes into the interview and I already feel like South Africans will regret not helping this man when help is all he needed.. Thank you

Macg definitely giving Zola his flowers now, it's great to see

I have met Zola 7 personally and I can confirm. He is such a normal person and very down to earth yet a whole public figure 😁. Zola 7 is a national treasure. Zingu 7

"Some people will train you to hate your father" that line hits harder if you relate😖

"Apartheid was fighting sober black women, if they got the women drunk, we would have lost the battle a long time ago". That hit home.

Zola really is an icon living and full of wisdom. He is not you're typical music artist he yearns for knowledge always and seems to pass it down every chance he gets. May we celebrate and appreciate him more.

The "Utatakho" situation sounds very similar to Somizi's cook/dinner show and the guy who accused him of stealing his idea and had e-mails to prove it. Big ups to Zola for standing up for that kid.

We owe our freedom to our sober grandmothers

Our DMX our Tupac our first rapper most educated guluva

There is no south African artist that I respect more then this guy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Zola is like an African mystic. Out of his mouth flow the streams of wisdom. This is a man who ponders deeply on every word he says. I pray I get to meet him in my lifetime

Ngiphethi ngudu etafuleni....Zingu7 Amantombazane ekamereni ...angu7 Gebengu zam mazphelele ...zingu7 Guluva sekuyabeda kuzophenduka amatafula....GCWALA!!✊

Am i the Only one who can't wait to Watch this???.... i have goosebumps already 😊

I’m only 22, grew up on this guy’s music as a kid.. funny thing is I’ve never watched any of his interviews but i can tell he’s what he preaches in his music, a very smart man too and nobody is perfect but mane i really love that he acknowledges that.. long live to Bongikosi., i wish to meet him one day.. and ever since i took this path of being a music artist myself I’ve been longing to have a man to man conversation him just to get some game.. wish that dream comes true.. either than that I’m forever giving him his flowers while he’s still alive... and may he find peace from whatever that they put him through, i never had an idea that they manipulated him this much.. let alone that there’s people that hate him because of what the media said about him.

The comments on the Israel Zulu interview lead me here!!! MacG is doing the things. We may have all these icons shaping us into the better women and men we could ever be , For me its still MacG and his team!!! BIG UPS GUYS! You need a slot on television ngoba the world needs to see your work my brother.

Zola (Quoting John Schaar) "The future is not some place we're headed, but one we're creating; and the path to it changes both the maker and the destination" 🐐🐐

I can’t believe I flew to Cape Town to watch this in the cinema and now I’m here back to the live chat family that I love... Hello members. I love you all!

45 000 views in 5 hours. South Africa loves Zola 7 with a passion 🔥

It's a blessing to listen to Zola for free. I'd pay good money to hear him speak

Zola has got a lot of life in his eyes. He’s got fire in his eyes. That’s a good, good thing.

MacG didn’t take a sip of anything during this interview 😱. He is a Zola admirer.

We love MacG for giving Zola 7 his flowers while he is still alive.❤🥺

Hit a 👍button if you also appreciate this interview and the guy Zola 7 himself... Icon indeed

I swear this was a deep podcast!!!! This not just for S.A, This is for the whole AFRICA!!!!! Love from Zambia!!!!

I know it's been some couple of months back since this interview was recorded but i to come back here and listen to the icon's wisdom Zola 7 may you live long Guluva and to Mac G #salutebozzalami

I think Zola should do a movie about the truth about the South African music industry. I believe it will be big and eye opener for new people coming to the music industry or before they come to the industry.

"I'm not working untill I find an honest company" our very own Dave Chappell!!! Respect to this guy!!!!!!

This is a 7million worth viewership, and will watch it 7 times for the next 7 days...

Chillers We here🔥🔥🔥🔥

That man got the jewels...I always considered him our South African 2pac because he embodied every great thing pac did(Music, acting, positive, man of the people)...everything he touched turned to gold let's honor this man

I just discovered this podcast umfowethu.. I've been living abroad in Switzerland for more than 10 years now. I just wanna say ngiyabonga eksê. The quality is there, and so much content to go through. And this bra Zola, I also met him when I was studying at RAU.. Melville side.. and he is one of the most down to earth celebs eva eva braMac! Hola Skabenga, hola 7! You've just earned another subscriber umhlobo wami, from a white boy who's lived in Madela kufa, Tembisa. Aweh braMac!

Here’s my idea. Can all the SA artists who aren’t benefiting from their music please let us know,so we can boycott the music?? Radios and Tvs included!

2008 was my first year in JhB and at UJ, met Zola at campus square PNP and I was with my mom. We went up to him, he gave us his 5min and was very nice. Till to date my mother remembers how humble and normal he was.

It's amazing just how Zola smiles from just the simplest little things ........

I've listened to a lot of artists speak, but there is always something valuable to take from Zola all the time after he speaks... God Bless and May the Almighty give you the strength to heal & be strong.

Abuti Zola is so relaxed, he looks like he’s enjoying himself. Well done MagG This guy is museum, Zola is special. I think we are ready for a President ya artist as a country. 🤞🏾

I Thought uZola Was Gonna Say His Favourite Song Is "LWANDLE" .. That Song Is Classic. MAC G Is THE BEST PODCASTER IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD. This Niqqa Is Talented. Bless You

There can only be one Zola 7, and he is that guy, a national treasure. It's hard to think about him and not feel all emotional and inspired🥺🤯 🔥 👌🏿🕯️🙏🏿

During this interview, MacG did not take a single sip of alcohol 🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏

this guy is totatally the opposite from his persona we saw growing up..made me want to go back to all of his music and listen again...big up to the brother,you are an inspiration to the young generation,more life to you

Zola's story its really heartbreaking. We thank the lord for your life Zola.

When he held that cassette and said "life can be simple" I felt that ❤

❤️ Pray his 10 year old son will watch this one day. beautiful episode

"Some people will train you to hate your father" that line hits harder if you can relate with the drama of baby mamas in nowadays.

Our problem is that we always need to celebrate our special individuals when they're gone. This guy deserves a big recognition. He is indeed an icon

It's time he wrote a book about life . He is just full of knowledge and wisdom.

Who else went to listen to Zola's songs while waiting for the premiere 😎🎧🎵 Nduna yamabutho🔥🔥🔥 Getto fabulous 👌 Ngudu👌🔥🔥🔥 Khokhovula👌 Mdlwembe...etc💛💛💛

Zola spoke in-between words. If you can hear, you're listening with your heart.

"A COUNTY THAT SPITS UPON ITS OWN HERITAGE IS A DEAD COUNTRY" CREDO MUTWA

He Rocked Bulawayo for some years we have a vip corridor for him in our town He's got a special place in our hearts He's our Legend He could unite all the Ngunis through his music He part of our southern African music history big up Big guy #Let's support Zola # EZASE NTUMABE KWA NTUTHU"

Recover Zola, u're not alone in the epileptic world. Your knowledge is very building.

MACG: "Who is part of your family now?” Zola: “Geez let’s go ask Mandoza, grab a couple of candles, go to Prokid , Jabba and Mandoza I know where they lie…”

Guys we need to give it to Zola ... his name didn't fall in a sky it was God's given 🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥

His intellectual capacity is just beautiful...my hero

I just love how Zola constantly made reference to education And kids going back to school

Zola embodies ubuntu- the humility of this Icon👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽May Gods bless his soul

He doesn't mince his words he speaks straight....that line "Too old Too safe Too tradional" power

"I'm gonna shine in the dark like the stars ebsuku Sing all day njenge nyoni zezulu" He is indeed the last of the dying breed💐💐

Zola 7 is our Tupac in south africa he speaks the truth

This brother is rich in spirit- very rich and blessed. “The deep”,Brother you need to impart that to other young africans.

What an interview to be watched over and over? Be blessed ZOLA 7. Your Legacy man.🙏🏾🇳🇦

I wanted him to go in on the religion vs tradition topic, coz Zola is uMoya walking and has so much depth on this subject. Dankie Grootman. More life to you and really hope you get that that TV deal you deserve with the IP.

I think this will be the mother of all MacG's interviews,the waiting is killing my curiosity🍿🕔

Zola and Menzi Ngubane could've gave us powerful healing stories if thy worked together 📺😭

It is through such people, like Zola that you realise how resilient and strong Black people are despite how crazy the world is. Wow. Good interview.

Zola, what a podcast. The wisdom on this man. May God continue to lead him hle. His heart is in the right place. Thanks @MacG

First video to reach a million views on this podcast

The quality of this INTERVIEW feels like the THIS IS IT CONCERT Micheal Jackson wanted to do before he passed #HOLY GRAIL #I love ZOLA his the real GINTSA i noe

MacG please tell Zola to put all his songs in streaming platforms. iTunes only has two albums.👏🏽

I am so proud of maturity within Zola. What a man he has become.

I came across this post on my Facebook and I thought I should share it with chillers . Izolo lokhu You were making people's dreams come true. You fed the needy with your kids money. You travelled countries representing South Africa as a servant, leaving abo Mvelo, Lwandle, Bhambatha, Nyezi emuva with no one protecting your family against all odds. You cried daily when you heard stories of infants whom are not being taken care of. You stood up and influenced big Companies like Cell C to help You feed the needy and the orphans. You made dreams come True with your show Zola 7 ,You left Your mother waya emazweni... You took out money from your own pocket and paid school fees of girls from Tanzania ( Dara Salam) who were prostitutes and they changed since that day to become an asset to that country. You represented South Africa in African Countries until you were honoured by the Shakur family as the 2pac wase Mzansi. Nkosi sikelela I Africa if this is how we going to honour and celebrate our heroes downfall... Zola I believe in you I'm sure the whole South Africa do believe in you, I don't care what the media is saying about you. This is not a downfall to you.. This is a temporary set back. You'll bounce back.I'm singing your song "Ngizokulinda uzubuye cause you promise uzobuya Ngizokulinda uzubuye" .The devil and his people ngeke balunge. I'm singing your song "Qina ndoda ekhaya babheke wena". I wish Steve Biko was still alive to see this stupid journalist who celebrate the downfall of a black man... not just a man but a Hero to many. I salute you..I won't believe all they say I will turn around and walk away and I know you zola 7 did try to make the world a better place..And for me you Still Shine like Stars ebusuku .......... I salute You Bonginkosi Dlamini wola 7...✔💯 #Repost

You can tell that MacG loves Zola, the way he looks at him...

This is the quote : “The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made. And the activity of making them changes both the maker and the destination."

Zola needs to do a documentary and tell his own story.

Thank you Zola we all went through depression at some point, what a genius, intellectual, academic, living legend, mentor, teacher i mean he's everything your mind can come across, big up to you man and thank you #macg

Zola is one treasure we need to polish every now and then, but guys I need to say this Mac G is the best when coming to asking questions (classic)

😭😭😭 what he said in the beginning literally brought me to tears. The thing about parents and accepting that it's okay to be different. 💝💝💝 I needed to hear that because I've always felt that my mother wants me to be like her and I'm really NOT.

As a guy who grew up in uMthatha the librry sill functions ite has heled many peaple I used to study there for my matric and passed what uZola did for us as a community was really amaizining I wish he could have built more libraries this is one of the guys who is 100 percent pro black rpo people... Salute bhut'omdala

The way I respect this guy I don't know how much I love him. He is a legend our hero.

I Find His Self-awareness, His Message Delivery Astounding His Ability To Speak To The Person He's Having A Conversation With Is Captivating.🙌🏾 #Respect For Zola #LoveLightWisdon.

🤣🤣🤣 They been trying to cancel MacG since the beginning, that drink spike story by Zola tells it all

Yoh this guy did not waste any words😭spoke truth and nothing but the truth🔥🔥😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

This man was and is the life of this country he stood for what most couldn't try to get to the people I respect him beyond words

A real icon indeed. What a mind blowing podcast. I wish my son Sihle get it as he once wanted to meet him but didn't get reply from the letter he wrote to him years ago. Never too late to try again. May the Lord protects his soul as a precious African gem!!

I'm listening this interview for the second time now .I jus like it ..he got nice stories to tell.the lucky ones are the ones getting to spend time with him (Iconic Zola )

The can only be one MacG, they’re hating because they can’t do it like him. MacG you are the legend... yerrrr I’m impressed 👌🏾😭

I can't wait to listen to the amount of gems that are going to come out of this interview.
