EPISODE 570 | LADUMA on Maxhosa,New York Store, Riky Rick,Black Coffee,Local Brands vs Global Brands 

Our Design textbook in grade 10 had a section about this guy. Simply incredible 🔥

This guy inspires. I will own a fashion company that will compete with Maxhosa one day

The fact that Mac and Sol do the actual research on each celeb that pulls through shows the respect for their audience and their work

This is top of all African podcasts. Podcast and chill is on another level. They may suffer views but they are transitioning into another level

I love how Laduma is not entitled. He wants his brand to be genuinely loved and Supported

MacG is always shocked and puzzled by other people s success. But he is a success as well. He must tell us the process of production of Gin and now a punch. He is a success story and very soon his beverage might be sold in USA❤

Sol is just well informed, even Laduma was literally surprised that he knows his granddad was into Jazz, he was like "You know that?"

I like how he doesn't take anything personally. He is not expecting any favours or handouts. He is calm and the success just comes.

Unathi Nkayi is DEFINITELY one of the celebrities who represents Maxhosa through and through!!! She wears it beautifully too. She always makes me want me to buy a Maxhosa item!

Laduma is carrying a gift from his ancestors. He was called to be what he is currently doing.

Maxhosa,so humbled and well spoken..way ahead of times.The way you carry yourself on answering,so much ancestral wisdom my brother big ups.

First 15 minutes, PLATINUM!!! One thing we have all come to learn is that Riky opened alot of doors for people, he's what people call a believer of humanity.

Documenting black history indeed. Stories like this inspire me to push harder in life. The greatest from South Africa 🇿🇦 very proud bhuda yam.

This is the bravery Africa needs to decolonise the motherland mentally. Need more of Laduma’s in all walks of life. Africa is the future 🙌🏾

This is not an interview it’s a beautiful conversation👌

I'm a self taught Carpenter and I've always had a dream to push beyond my capacity. This episode is definitely giving me a Big boost. Stru nasi🤞🏾

This was so inspirational as someone who is building a global business.

This episode has been a long time coming. Highly anticipated. The timing of this interview was written in the stars. Everything is aligned.

Laduma has just reaffirmed what we all knew already, Makhado was a super genuine soul, extremly generous with his platform/resources. I am reminded of the time he reportedly bought 20K worth of tickets to one of Cassper's fill up, we lost a real one for sure #RIP

Listening to his family history…Sounds like he was destined for greatness, like it or not…he had no choice ♾️✨♾️

🤣🤣🤣the line when he said, bro you see prominent people wearing fake and you say "you too" 🤣🤣 that line killed me🤣🤣🤣🤣

I feel like laduma is one of those quiet people who when given a chance will never stop talking, very special guy🥰

McG with his legendary "mmmmmm" to get you to speak more

Those who are always waiting for the premier episode 🔥🔥🔥 >>>>

As South Africans we are blessed

Haikhona!! Shout out to LADUMA. Bro's been passed the torch by his ancestral lineage and really lives for the objective. Guaranteed he'll transcend beyond legacy. This is beyond inspirational. Words can't even begin to describe how moved I am.

The one thing ove noticed .MacG and Sol go with the flow of the guest .This was a beautiful interview

He gives me Black Coffe vibes. He's well-spoken and calm, gent. When I visit NY, I'll pass by the store and buy, even if it's just socks 🙉🙉

Mxah Ricky Ricky Guys Mxm He Was A Generous Person Shame😢.. We Lost A Soldier There Keep Resting Easy Macado ❤️🥺🕊️🕊️🕊️

Tjo uMac guys ❤️❤️❤️ Yazi mesethi sorry Sol for cutting you bro that humble heart. Dankie chief

This episode deserves million views!!!🔥🙌🙏🙇‍♂️ Thank you gents for bringing this legend MaXhosa!!👏👏

Inspirational 🔥🙌. I chose MaXhosa as a topic for my final Thesis in Varsity for my Graphic Design degree.

Youngsters should listen to how Transformational learning can lead you to a successful career or business.

This man is smart , wow such regurgitation of knowledge. Hes authentic . Wow , beautiful black brother . I have much respect of this chap !

Very interesting that one of the Rupert's family members was one of the first customers who made a big order,helped expose and grow the business globally. Yet bo Julius play fear mongering tactics against them for their political gains.

Thanks very much chillas for your comforting words over my situation with my Baby boy. I feel relieved and believe one day God will open close doors ❤❤❤❤

This was a business masterclass if you didn’t have your notepad out you failed the module!I buy Maxhosa for myself and gifts for friends because of everything he spoke off!He lives the values and he has mastered the business 🎉 what a legacy to leave🎉🎉thanku! I’m doing my Masters at wits business school,you are inspiring me to put more effort on my thesis

Laduma is such an inspiration. The humility is worth noticing...makes sense why he'd be cool with Black coffee because he's pretty chilled himself

One of those episodes that will be gold in 20 years time. Documenting black history with excellence

This guy is smart, he deserves all the success he got and still coming his way. Salute Sir

Nelson Mandela University in Gqeberha is the best university for Fashion and Textile.

She is sotho but dripped in Maxhosa😭😭💎💎man this interview is legendary

Loooooooooooove loooooove this guy, I can’t afford his clothes but I believe in him sooooooo much.

I think there's a South African black owned restaurant with African food in the states. Laduma of MaXhosa is a true inspiration especially that he came from the same city as me "Port Eli". I so hope he can mention his friendship with Scoop Makhathini & the collaboration with Gqeberha The Empire. @MontanaThePbn #AwtiYaseBhayi

Mag G is so fond of uma Xhosa 😊 and I like that. Mag G has a genuine heart.

It’s the way the guys conduct interviews that will forever keep them relevant. Top notch episode 🙌🏾

Dwayne Wade the basketball guy married to Gabriel Union also loves MaXhosa. I have seen him wear it and talk about on interviews and one of these American podcast

Definitely one of the best episodes ❤, coming from a Senior Lecturer at Nelson Mandela University... what a great alumni ❤

We all need to own a piece of Maxhosa on this podcast. Let’s support our own.

7:44 thanks Mac for showing Sol respect 🙏

When he started speaking abt his grandfather...got chills in my bone, so proud of this guy for respecting his roots 🙌🙌🙌🥂

Power to those that walk coz they give us Permission to dream more!!!!

Grade 10 to 12 in my Design textbook was learning about laduma. Miss dem days you the best abuti Waka

Listen, Laduma is flying the SA flag very high! This was a such a dope and inspirational interview! Shoutouts to all you!🙌🏾🙌🏾

The greatest best up coming of Laduma's Business how it started. All the support he got from the unknown he never thought could be in his supportive space in business. Great appluad to the late Ricky and Black coffee for their humbleness and generousity towards him achieving his goals through all the connections in business to even connect with CEO of Gucci. It is been said people who will help you are those you AI t close to them.

Mac is so star struck 🤩

So proud of my home boy. Really putting ,not only SA but Africa on the map. ❤

Laduma - i had to go home and bring hymns to show them the originals.. Sol- to bring him? Laduma - yeah!

This was amazing... Both Laduma and Mcgyver are so inspirational👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

This episode is the essence of what Podcast And Chill represents. Black excellence, lovely episode. This is what I’m a member for! ❤

“Luxury is a step by step process” ❤

Sol and Mac G are meant to be together MacG remembered after Sol spoke this is beautiful

Sol is the best interviewer right now in entertainment

At 1:09:52 Mac Asks Laduma if he smokes weed and Laduma mumbles when answering,Mac then proceeds to mimic him then just carries on with the conversation. Geez that part killed me 😂😂😂😂😂What a menace!

Great interview. The thing that I liked the most was the fact that he emphasized the importance of applying basic business principles well (e.g. branding, efficiency, being competitive, etc.) and not only relying on the "support a black child" strategy. If most black entrepreneurs can adopt this mindset, their businesses will thrive.

This interview... has been one spiritual journey. A huge shoutout to the gents for their impeccable interviewing skills. Laduma is a national treasure, salute!

What a fantastic episode! 👏👏 I thoroughly enjoyed learning about how the beautiful luxury brand, Maxhosa, came to be. It’s incredibly inspiring to hear such a unique and powerful story behind the brand. Wishing you all the best Laduma, and I truly hope the Maxhosa brand continues to thrive and inspire for the next 100 years to come. Keep up the amazing work!

I've ran out of words to describe what this podcast is! 😮❤

Laduma is such a humble soul omg 🥺. He’s going far yhoo!🔥

Laduma makes me so proud to be South African ❤❤❤❤❤❤

This should be one of the most watched shows ever. Gold.

Top top interview….will probably not get all the views but it’s still worth the watch…

Please bring Thandiswa Mazwai to the podcast as well🙏

Laduma is my former boss... I managed one of his stores, he is the most professional & humble person you will ever meet. Blessed to have been in his presence ❤

The brand is a work of art, It has longevity, it’s here to stay, Inspiration at its best👌🏽👌🏽

"Welcome to black excellence, do not fear for if you do, just sip on some Graduer" It never made so much sense like now

This one is a big one, he is a big inspiration for the African boy and he is a big deal and yet so humble

Tuning in for inspiration ✨️

This was a brilliant interview. Great guy behind MaXhosa brand. Well done, Gents!⭐️✨10/10

Lol Mac G and Casper's relationship has come along way

This guy…. So mature, not personal and not pitying

Dope setup, it is not too busy. Back to basic of what made me love this podcast. A dive deep conversations and a documentary of some sort. In getting to know better the people who has shaped our lives in somewhere. I hope MacG and Sol don't focus on numbers but keep at it, with unraveling whose who of this world. Cos obsessing about what would give most views would end up creating pap episodes that you can never rewatch. which podcast and chill has never been for in its inception. Keep venues random as well, especially for Thursday episode, it brings a whole lot of different vibe and energy than seeing the yellow table which just scream playfulness. Different venues makes it is all about the guest. That's just my honest opinion and my constructive suggestion.

Im inspired he shows me you must never be afraid to dream as far as you want to, respect

I met him at Back To The City and we were promoting Hlubi Africa. Shout out to Laduma.

59:54 Laduma: even when I told the teacher. This is my grandfather, he was like "you are lying" I had to go home, bring hymns and show him the originals. 1:00:04 Sol: Bring him? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love these coming from America episodes. Lets pray you get to do this and more all over the globe! Podcast & Chill to the world!!!🤘🏾

How Maxhosa speaks reminds me a lot of black coffee

SOL you're going to hell for that Hand Joke!!!! trust me son!!! 😅

Go so much respect for this guy after this interview. Humble yet focused.

As a creative, I am grateful for this insight into the industry. Beautiful interview, thank you! 💜

Been off for some time, but as soon as saw maxhosa I clicked bro he's a legend big But Laduma..

Guys! Ricky is the guy he thinks he is. Also so down to earth and relatable.

I’ve never heard anyone say anything bad about Riky, I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting this man, but I am sure he was a Great Man. He did a lot for the culture. Long Live Rikhado Makhado 🕊️

Thanks for mentioning Cassper Nyovest without any negative thing. Thanks

Dudu is a flavour... "We as Designers and Entrepreneurs, we simply just have to go HARDER " ~LADUMA NGXOKOLO Well said, your words shall echo in eternity.
