Mandla N | Life Story | Black Brain | City Ses'la | Diep City | Black Door | Media Industry 

Our Tyler Pherry... big love for bhuti Mandla always he deserves his flowers 💐 while still with us

The fact that AFDA has such great alumni would make one think it's a brilliant school and it absolutely isn't. I've learnt more about the film industry in this hour than I did this whole year at AFDA. So many of my fellow students dropped out and I'm even contemplating leaving AFDA myself. That place sucks the passion out of you. This episode has given me hope and reignited something in me that I allowed AFDA to take away so thank you very much to you bra Sbu for the platform and bra Mandla for the generosity in sharing what you know. Very insightful and valuable information for us filmmakers.

Bro Mandla is not selfish, he is sharing great advices

Our very own Tyler Perry. I enjoyed this interview so much siyabonga Bhuti Sbu 🙏

I would like to thank Grootman DJSbu for creating this platform For me it's no longer hustlers corner, it's the institution Boma Masterclass kinda thing I'm learning everyday,my mind is more open to things around the world Thank you Grootman Siyabonga❤️ Much Fatela

I never get tired listening to Mandla N👌👌

I love how transparent he is about the industry especially with regards to the finances.

"Cheap is expensive" ~ Mandla N. I heard that! 🙌🏿

THIS IS A FRIKKEN MASTERCLASS OF NOTE!!! Thank you for concisely summing up what we NEED to actually work in the industry. Yes I went to film school but feel a lot of the time could have been spent doing practicals, filming and sharpening the skill. If they'd just give people what they need instead of drowning the students in unnecessary theory our industry would express itself so much more richly and more polished. Looking forward to the Film Masterclass you mentioned Khehla 😊🙌🏾🙏🏾! Thank you again

We need cinema’s in every ward in every township…

Wow Sibusiso please bring him back. Any mentoring for small kids who love film making or television. Tanko to Mandla N keep on creating ngiyabonga.

SABC should bring back City Ses'la...one show I never missed yoh. Mandla N is such a breath of fresh air when it comes to entertainment space😊

Everyone needs to watch this episode I have learnt so much and I think he needs to come back and teach us more

This is the best podcast episode I have ever watched.... The best I have EVER watched!!!!!!

One of there most interesting interviews ive ever watched on THC. Big ups👊DJ Sbu. Im a big fan if Mandla🙏🙌 asibonge🙏

I remember u gave my mom her first TV gig on city sesi la now she's grown bcoz of uu

My inspiration Bhut Mandla N love what he’s doing on the screen 📺 one day wish to work with him🎉🙌🏾🙏🏾

wow great content, thank you so much for the knowledge😃😃😃 This is what we need as young filmakers and Podcasters

Learned so much about the film & tv industry in the first 20 minutes of the show! I would gladly attend a masterclass by Mandla N. He doesn't hold back important information and he speaks so passionately about the industry.👌

Grootman Siyabonga for this master class,i am a film graduate and this was quite enlightening.Shout to Bhut Mandla for empowering young aspiring film and tv individuals.😊

Thank you for this just reminded me my purpose.

The show is nice with Sbu alone 😊as the presenter

loved it, thank you Sbu. always wanted to know more about Mandla N because his work really grabs my interest so this was insightful.

Very insightful episode. A masterclass is really needed

Ohh my word🎉🎉I did not know this was Mandla N the producer, I mean I know him from Ses’top la playing Mandla ✨✨☀️🍾such a beautiful interview thanks DJ Sbu ❤❤

Cheap is expensive 🤞🏽🤞🏽 lesson of the day

Thank you so much for bringing bhudi Mandla I really learnt a lot

This episode was so amazing. I’m not into the business of TV but he just broke it down so beautifully.

to dj SBU and Mandala N👍🙏🔥🔥mofaya

😭Damn can't believe I'm only seeing this now.. What a great episode ❤️

This episode was very dope. Keep at it SBU. Love from Zimbabwe.

One day people will appreciate this episode, so inspiring and informative.

Always had respect for Mandla N may God protect you

Great episode I need more info I wish I had seen and heard all these 10 years back... Bhuti Mandla N big ups, I am inspired. Hope we work soon.

This is truly educational, the other side of the big screen..nice one guys 👌

this was my first act visit to the podcast , holy im ready for the deep dive im so impressed beautiful guys Mandla is a beast

CONTENT OVERLOAD!!! The type of content a black child needs right now in this country. To Mindlos and Sbu! Yizoyizo guys💯👌🙏🙏🙏 Blessings! We can’t wait for a follow-up interview!

Sbu my brother I'm very proud of the work you are doing and your guest. Mandla we appreciate what you are doing. I'm inspired let's build our own movement and stop supporting Afriforum but our own black consciousness. I hope to see Julius MALEMA my president on your show please

Great masterclass. Leadership and HC team for me the progressive convo would be forming a forum that present interest of Africans. Because everyone from every industry has grievance about lack of support from government. Clearly it’s not for us. Sad we have to look up to a Afriforum as if we don’t have brains that can push, protect and advocate for our agenda. This is an issue of organization. Leadership2020 do you mind pioneering this for us? 🙈

Thank you for this!!!! I'm in the industry too and have had the pleasure of observing you work sir, truly inspiring indeed. We are learning from afar but feel close to you from platforms such as these, thank you greatly 🙏🏾🙌🏾. Amazing indeed ✨. Thank you brothers

Such incredible conversation, a lot of information shared. Thank you very much..khezwo 🔥🔥🔥

Big up Sbu you are the man...Mandla is a giant...I learned a lot from this episode..bring more of such people

What a great interview... My son is studying Fine Arts at Open Window and i recommended this interview for him to learn. Thanks Sbuda & Mandla for such a dope episode. #MOFAYA

whenever bhut' Mandla speaks I listern, thanks bro Sbu for bring Mandla 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

This has been an absolute inspiring masterclass. Black child it's possible. #UngapheluMoya🔥🔥🔥

The inspiration in this episode 💯👏🏾

Amazing conversation, I learned a lot and how brands are advertised. I fell in love with Audi from Jason Statham's Transporter.

Mandla N is a legend, and his passion into the industry is too deep

City ses'la was fire.

Hi bhuti Sbu, please kindly tell ubhuti Mandla that i have an excellent idea that i would love to share with him. It's a drama-series built around a coloured community. It's basically just awesome. He's gonna love it🙏

Thank you Budda Sbu

Thank You Dj Sbu. I'm sad I missed this. I wanted to ask The legendary Mandla N. which Casting Agencies does he recommends or does he work with under Black Brain. I'm studying Acting in Tshwane University Of Technology, also major in Scriptwriting.

Siyabonga bhuti Sbu. Can we please have Psychology content, hai there's not enough information for psychology students out there.

Another mind-blowing episode thank you Dj Sbu

Diep City beyize kahle ai kodwa since season two ulahle i plot. Love him for what he's doing for the arts though

He's so Bae 😍 didn't hear anything 🤧 lol

Great content. 👌🏾

Such a informative interview. May you please invite Tebogo, Desiree and Angus from bomb

Dope

Malom Sbu thank you for the continuous great work. Just as a suggestion, may you please request the full name and surname of the people mentioned in interviews so we can check them social media or possibly support them. Tebza was mentioned and yet I don't know his surname. Kgaupe the iconic photographer was mentioned and yet I don't know her surname.

This was wonderful.🙂

So inspirational. Brain Brain Phambili

Thank you for the content

Epic episode 🙌 👌

OUR VERY OWN TYLER PERY !!

Bhut'Sbu, for sone people abathi iTV these days plays stories ezingathi its "NEWS"... In that, the shows are more like recreating what is happening in our society, like the drugs and killings etc... I hope and wish (if they can aboBhut'Mandla) create stories that will flood our "spaces" giving us the picture or an idea of WHAT & HOW the South Africa we'd love to live in would look like, because I believe a lot of us don't have an idea of how my "daily doings" are contributing into making our living conditions worse... Maybe, what I'm trying to say is, they must sell us a picture of how "The Perfect South Africa" would look like, so that all of are somehow pushed/programmed to work towards that dream... Ngoku, TV is full of drugs and crime etc... But if TV can be used to teach my kids to never take drugs or to never do crime, just like how our old Gogos and Mkhulus would create stories ezazisenza soyike to do bad / wrong things... I'm not sure if I'm making sense... But (for example) TV doesn't have a lot (if any) of shows such as this Hustlers Corner which for me is more worthy of "air play" than what is on TV currently... Like, THEY MUST PUSH THAT AGENDA which aims to make South Africa (or even Africa as whole) GREAT and a lovely/comfortable/safest place to live in... ❤ Yah, something like that... Otherwise, MOFAYA 🎉

Amazing interview bro fire sbu
