Queen Elizabeth II's legacy and its impact in Southern Africa 

So profound how Thembeka contextualises the history of South Africa. If we really knew our history well as society, we would make deliberate course in how we shape our nation and Africa at large. Not merely looking at the sad days of apartheid…but take the whole history of colonisation. Well spoken Advocate! I have been enlightened!

The lawyer/author knows his stuff like palm of his hand i am impressed

Balanced, nuanced, well researched history and information. Advocate Ngcukaitobi masterclass class any day, sign me up.

This man is very sober, yhoooo. Hayi uvuthiwe lo bhuti ngeke. Thank you for this great history lecture from a great man and scholar.

This man is a well learned man 👏

Need more of this, this type of education is needed in our schools. Emancipate our minds..

This man shows the importance of reading

Very powerful one, I had to come back for it after watching on 405

All thanks to Mr T. You really have enlightened and inspired me with this conversation

Perfect interview I wish our kids can understand our history.

Always a pleasure listening to Advocate Ngcukaitobi.🙏🏽

Thembeka you are such a knowledge powerhouse.

Advocate Ngcukaitobi is not just an author but a brilliant political historian! It was a pleasure to hear an African history that is not told from the "conqueror's" vantage point but from that of the "conquered"! He dissects the subject matter without wanting to be politically correct but by giving the naked truth. He also doesn't just criticize but gives tangible solutions to be used by the parties involved to the benefit of all concerned. From his talk, it becomes evident that Africans are far from walking their chosen path instead of being guided by their former colonial masters down an unknown path to themselves, on an equally unknown agenda! This however, does not mean that the perpetrators of colonialism don't know what they are doing! They do, as he clarifies. They are perpetuating a disguised colonial agenda! They are giving the Africans something to hold on to while they enjoy the fruits of that scheming. Africans are fighting for salary rewards, not for the benefits accruing from the ownership of the economy and the land, he says! Which are enjoyed through racialised historical structures called the 1910 Union and the Vereening Agreement. Africans find themselves in untenable situations politically and economically. The only way, I believe, for them to extricate themselves from this, is by bringing brilliant minds like this of Advocate Ngcukaitobi together to chart a path that is best for Africans as designed by Africans. The starting point would be by telling our stories ourselves and choosing what life and future we want ourselves, because a lion can never tell a truthful story about its prey! The story told by the prey would always be that much more different. I was shocked to hear him say "the ANC has decided not to make history compulsory in schools"! This is a shocking way of taming our aspirations as Africans, the example of which is reflected in doing away with iconic events like Sharpville Day and Shaka Day, with the pretext that this fosters nation building! This change and elimination of the study of history, leaves our future leaders ignorant of their heroes and their nation-building intentions. This then directly puts us once more in the lap and at the mercy of the very colonialists that we defeated! Like it happened in Kenya after the death of Queen Elizabeth. Instead of demanding reparations from her son, the Kenyans called for a three-day mourning for the Queen!! On Heritage Day, Shaka Day, there was no mention of King Shaka! And if not on the day, and not in history books either, where will that be? It can only be summed up with Alan Paton's words "Cry the Beloved Country"!

And to still have a towns called Harrismith, Grahamstown etc is embarrassing to say the least

Adv TN history lessons need a weekly slot. The man knows his staff.

Volume!!! please raise the volume on your videos before you lost them. I have to turn my volume almost to the max just to hear what's being said.

I had chosen this Advocate as one of the most intelligent person. I am from Zimbabwe but I rate this Advocate as one of the most well informed lawyer. To me he is a living library.

best interview by newzroom afrika thus far.

Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi ✊🏾❣️✊🏾😍✊🏾❣️✊🏾

Um big admirer of this Afro Stylish advocate ....he knows how to drive point home...and he has dire staff up his sleeves .....he is truly a learned and staunch reader .....and would like to have his books.....in the future ..

We love T Ngcukaitobi you are making history because history is made during ones lifetime We love you so much TAta

This interview is a Gem!!!

A great researcher and educator Tembeka is. You can't walk away with nothing after listening to his conversations. These facts are key to be widely understood.

"Soft glove over the iron fist", excellent.

Informative stuff from the advocate. As a keen student of history that was orgasmic 🤩🤩🤩🤩

I love this chap, brilliant scholar.

Thank you for educating us💁‍♀️💁‍♂️👍🏾👌🏿💁‍♂️💁‍♀️

What an informative and educative interview 👏 🙌 👌

It's sad 😔 experience to our ancestors

VERY GOOD THANKS MR nGcukatoibi the history we were taught at school , thank you so much .I know think backwards again.

elite commentary from the adv. although I would've loved to hear him touch on the atrocities presided over by Elizabeth ||

I need this book ka-Thembela Ngcukaitobi SC!

We are not apologetic but it is the price to be paid that is too heavy. Looking at the global power dynamics, they would starve all of us to death, worse than what they have done to Zim and Venezuela. Are we willing to lose 60% of our population to starvation? We don't stand any chance. Look at what they did to Gadhafi. We are batter off as colonial clerks for now until the Western hegemony is challenged by China in 2050. People like Julius don't understand the complicated dynamic and the global balance of power. They would rather get us sanctioned and starve to death for political expediency.

Very Insightful

The Advocate has always been insightful.

What a beautiful mind

SC Please continue teaching

Advocate/Author Tembeka Ngcukaitobi and your Dr Lwazi Lushaba are one of the most vital people needed in our educational systems and strategical positions of that portfolio.

Elite commentary from the adv. Although I would've loved to hear to hear him touch on the atrocities presided over by the Elizabeth ||

Much love, this is what we need, and more

what an interview! where can we find this article Xoli keeps on referring to?

So informative

On point 💯💪🏿✊🏿

I have so much respect for this man. Can they bring back them our wealth please....

Eish, Xoli, your "hands" must have been itching when you secured an interview with this gentleman 👏

Xoli thank you to invite Ngcukatoibi because he is really telling the history which we all SouthAfricanswere told at Schools.This was not a ( Hidden History otherwise they would n't put it in our History. We don't need the Politicians to tell us we know about it. Thanks Advocate you really know what you are talking about. SOUTHAFRICANS at my age must know this History too. l don't know the Young Ones if they learn the History at schools.

the guy is very smart straight on point

I don't see many South Africans commenting on the wisdom being belted out by the very informed and intelligent lawyer...bring a topic about foreigners, the forum would be inundated with terrible comments.... Zimbawe land reform should be a lesson for my South African brothers.. Zimbabwe has overcome the hurdle of the land issue largely... with difficulty of course as the lawyer said it is not easy but it is got to be done

Where is the link to the article by Tembeka Ngcukaitobi on this subject.

The sound is horrible hle

History should have been compulsory. As a child I was given a script by a Xhosa storyteller to play Paul Kruger. I viewed his zeal for independence from British rule with a limited lens and lots of admiration unbeknownst to me that my people needed independence the most. I still wonder why Ma Pat (Ms Petros) trusted me with her story. Knowing our history would agitate many of us to demand redress and a voice to change the narrative. The land is ours the pain of our ancestors can find catharsis through us and our progeny

Thank you two gentlemen for the information, even though it was really difficult to follow because of the tone of your voices. As i am now happy to have a little bit of that information of which i am really interested to know more about it. But i am not going to lie and say i was smiling to hear all that, to tell the truth, i was very angry and made me sick in to my stomach, but i am not putting a blame to the South African native people, but to the people who did that to them. I am just happy that i was not even near to be born at that time, even if i was born or near to be born, i would not have done anything to stop what happened, as those native did tried, but it was not possible for them to get whatever they wanted, because that was the way it was. As i can mention that, whatever happened, i hope it is going to be repeated, yes they have had their share, and i hope this generation is not going to allow that to happen again.

The ANC is a British project. Oliver Tambo had a head office in London when he was exiled.

Got my attention!

Yhoo such informative discussions from a young man .Teach our young ones

SADC countries have supported,fed and financed the UK royal household at the expense of Africans in the region. The poverty stricken region as a result of the British people still licks its wounds to this day and surely for decades to come.

The sound is very low though

Indeed very powerful.... His summing up of the past "plunder" under racial divisions was a tragedy.....but worse, I witnessed the anc's "plunder" at the sacrifice of their own peoples upliftment, that for me will always be , disgusting

Does anyone know the article The Adv is referring to? If so, please share the title.

Very intelligent guy

Please fix your sound volume i always strugle to hear your youtube videos

Iconic, enkosi Jola.

Indid it was good lesson whatever he says it's true we did learn it in school African history .southern African colonialism form 3 in Zimbabwe thank you for opening our eyes to those who didn't know

Hayibo! Mntaka Ngcukaithobi. Ugqats'ulufezile.Teach the Nation

Wow thank you African son of soil Themka❤️. Oh yes my brother Land matters. We are indigenous people of south African but we have no Land our government are still submissive to their slave masters

Where can I buy the book? I am In swaziland

Real talk

Africa we are suffering bcoz of Britain

Wowness

I AM LIGHT AND TRUTH AND LOVE AND LIFE

I AM LIGHT...I AM LIGHT...I AM LIGHT

Eish, this history just makes me sick in my stomach. Something has to be done, no matter how long it takes.

A serious topic of displeasure merely discussed as a philosophical exchange and that's what robs the liberation call its potency, we are focused on the discussion instead of the redress and it's high time we move to addressing the issues instead of provoking eloquent speeches

Southern British Africa 🌍

I AM LIGHT..I AM LIGHT..I AM HOLY.FIRE AND HOLY LIGHT...

Insights

It's been a please!!!! to expose the evil empire, dankie Advovo

Profound 👍🏿the truth shall set us free

Mashonaland became a protectorate and were used against King Lobengula by Leander Star Jameson and brought Mthwakazi Kingdom, who had a peace treaty with the queen from the days of King Mzilikazi. Paul Kruger of the Transvaal never violated this treaty with King Mzilikazi.

History like any other subject to be made compulsory as well...

Tag the article...please!?

This is triggering to think we are still slaves of that system

"They were 2 names that became super rich as a result" then the anchor cuts the convo. Wow modern keepers why cut the Advo?
