The New Apartheid by Dr Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh: Book Launch with Dr Sithembile Mbete 

I'm ready for a different future. An alternative South Africa please. What we have right now is not sustainable. Thank you for the conversation. I'll get the book #thenewapartheid

Thanks for watching. You can buy a signed copy of the book (in SA) here: sizwempofuwalsh.com/product/thenewapartheid

Hi Sizwe I trust that you are well Would you ever be interested in discussing your perspective or debating on Big Daddy Liberty's podcast?

Congratulations on the project, may this book be the catalyst to get the conversation going again of a dream deferred and how in 1994 democracy in RSA made apartheid legal

Love your Work, lets talk more on the subject of an alternative.

A software upgrade. A fantastic conversation

My husband and I got the book.( It was the 2nd to last book they had at Exclusive Books) I can't wait to dig in! Thank you so so much..

South Africa is going through a transition.

Fascinating man ! What I'm wondering is what role do British colonialism and the dominance of multinational companies (including covert European intelligence agencies) have on the impact of the current circumstance of 'The New Apartheid' ?

This page is full of life. CR reshuffling must include young educated, insightful, and political fundis, like Dr Mbete and Dr Mpofu... Great Book Launch...

This is wonderful Sizwe, looking forward to reading it. Thank you for inspiring a generation.

I enjoyed the conversation. I laughed so many times when Dr Sthembile had goosebumps. The question and answer about choosing to write about apartheid than colonialism was eye opening. Indeed, we have been talking colonization and decolonization, rightly so, but ignoring apartheid which is recent. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Dr. Mbete is an excellent MC 🔥… this sounds like a great book, with a very provocative title 😅, I will definitely buy a copy shortly, as soon as I have privatised some more financial muscle.

I first saw you on 3 talk with Anele and she shared the same sentiment with Sthe on how you are articulate. She even said one must have a dictionary when reading your books. I'm always learning something new from your channel, keep up the good work.

Gripping from start to finish. Great prelude, certainly will buy the book. Over two decades of 'post apartheid' numerous radio and television interviews, current affairs shows, elections debates, socio-politic-economic analysts and so forth, few have come close to this analysis and scrutiny of the new SA landscape. Non-confrontational but incisive. provocative and brutally honest. Well done SIZWE. You were aptly named.

The SA constitution doesn't address the question of feudalism and this is a big problem in SA,

This was such a great launch, thank u guys for continously opening our eyes, can't wait to get the book.

I’ve spent my Sunday morning watching this video, it’s a lifetime lesson and adds to new knowledge that has to be interpreted for years to come and hopefully adopted in our education as textbooks to be fully studied. Furthermore, the book requires extensive workshops, TED like talks and maybe a simplified high school version that can summarize the original textbook. I commend you Dr. Sizwe for dedicating your passion for this country and setting the preamble for new thinking required to totally dismantle apartheid in it’s entirety. It’s indeed an hour. I am now motivated to get my copy. Salute!

Wonderful conversation and insights. Thank you for so much food for thought, and despite where we are right now, giving so much hope and possibility for the future. Time for the old folk to hand over the baton to the youth!

Only learning about the book now, umntu has been off the internet for a minute and I gotta say this is a pleasant surprise..much needed today In this climate, you could've written about anything but you chose the truth! Enkosi Dokotela mfo ka Walsh✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿 the revolution will not be televised

Much respect to sizwe.. Am buying the book

Congrats brother, keep doing the great work. It would be nice if you can start a series on the US business lawyers who helped to write our constitution.

I am listening with amazement today (30th November 2021) and am saddened at the glaring imperfections of the new arrangement of a new South Africa. Sizwe has opened a gaping wound in the belly of the so called liberation struggle icons who have been compromised by the hidden state. Sizwe also indirectly implicates Abantu for not collaborating with their African thinkers outside SA. As he rightly put it, the architects of apartheid collaborated with Britain and America to create a psychological warfare model that would run itself in a similar fashion to a computer's operating system. Sizwe has put the entire system on an operating table and is showing some very ugly realities of the South African experiment. This is a painful but necessary analysis of the current state of affairs. This needs to be followed up with a documentary on the SABC.

Well mate congratulations this is a well timed book, AYEYE!

I am very happy to be living in these times as the intellectual work is really conceptualizing and properly articulating the reality I grew up seeing. This book, Mr Cawe's book and the scholarly work being done on decolonization make my life make more sense while stimulating my own academic interests. Thank you

Congratulations Sizwe.....we appreciate you and your work!

Very interesting take from Dr Sthe; Dr Sizwe, you also articulate the book so well with the little time you had. I am convinced to go get it tomorrow now that I know about it.

Thanks dr for always telling the truth and congratulations on the book.I just hope this open some eye's

I LOVE THE CONVERSATION VERY INTERESTING.

I wonder if the governing party's austerity measures and their push to privatise entities those measures are implemented to perpetuates the new apartheid🤔

It's Dr Sizwe by the way Other than that good dialog 🙌

Congratulations! This sounds like a great read and I will buy and recommend to friends. Can’t remember who said it but I don’t think the ANC thought it could do everything after 1994, they made clear choices to placate the minority, such as the land question and not to prioritise economic inequality that is racialised rather than seek justice for the majority. Just like with the retraction of the Covid Distress Grant and the Grant for careers, even though the government earned an excess in 2020 tax over what they budgeted for. They made a deliberate choice to let people starve. What exactly are people who rely on R350 a month supposed to eat when you cut off even this risible amount which no human being can live on with dignity in the first place? How could they mobilise the money to relaunch these payments within a week - because they had it all along yet chose to deepen their corporatist, new-liberal, austerity agenda. I’ve also been thinking a lot about SA democracy in the week the country was inflames. This podcast featuring my intellectual hero, Economics Nobel Amartya Sen, may interest you in the context of democracy in SA: famines - a lack of access to food calories, never occur in a functioning democracy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L6pkqXBOqB0.html

💙💙💙

Not Sizwe being hosted on his own show😂🔥🔥🔥#ayeye

This book is going to be a book of reference for years to come in our pursuit to attain economic emancipation.

Is the book available on E-book please? Thanks for a great launch. Well done 👏

Tmro I'm getting this read

The only relevant question is WHY the haves feel NOTHING for the have nots??

Congratulations on your book. You have just nailed it right on the head. One of critical areas that justfy that Apartheid is indeed, privatised is lack of access to Justice simply because one can't afford to pay exorbitant Legal Fees to get quality Legal services. Legal aid does offer access but this is of inferior quality which in fact serves no purpose at all if we are to address Inequality in our Society.

Listening to you’re address on space, you’ve left out one factor, culture, there are those who would prefer to live amongst there own kind, you can never force ‘integration’ via laws. Now we hear the new buzz word, ‘Smart Cities’ which is nothing but a form of ‘ghettos’. The world is an ‘Apartheid’ system regardless which way one looks at it or use other verbs to describe it.

Enjoyed and appreciated this deepdive analytical conversation about the book. Wonder if I can access it from where I am writing this, viz.: Oslo? A sense of panic and anger overcomes me everytime I visit my homeland and notice the alarmingly rapid rate of growth of private healthcare facilities all over the country. I feared this development in the 90's and tried to warn the then minister of Health in Mandela's cabinet, Manto Tshabalala.

Please define ‘Apartheid’. It appears to me that the word itself continues to be re-engineered as it was when it was first birthed. Neither Capitalism nor Communism has been successful, history shows that. The current administration in itself is a regime that practices certain aspects of ‘Apartheid’ yet hidden in by using other terms and words. The current Constitution was never envisioned as a document cast in concrete. Governments by the very nature are ‘self centered’ what I mean by that is self serving. Democracy fools the people into believing by voting for a party the interest of those that voted them now get suppressed.

comrade mpofo really danced with principles of quantum social sciences here whilst trying not to reveal his true political philosophy, which is proudly left.

Do you think that the way money is created plays a part in the status quo?

So in this book do you speak about how to make it out of this system that is built to oppress me.

If the ANC was competent and had integrity South Africa had the potential to be a shining light for the world. There was so much goodwill towards SA in the early 90s. Instead they ripped off the poor and enriched themselves and anyone pointing out their failings was conveniently called racist. South Africans, the most wonderful people I have ever met, need an alternative to the ANC and I still believe they will find it. I like SMW's videos but Dr Mpofu-Walsh, rather than continually analyse and pontificate, present practical alternatives based on the reality that SA's success depends on succeeding in the world economy.

Let's blame apartheid, and certain racial groups, and ptoperty rights, and the constitution.....vs.......let's build the next great South Arican/de colonized company that competes on a.level playing field, ie the market place, and is successfull simply because it has great products or services wich consumers love, and thus generates revenue for future growth, and doesn't need to have access to endless taxpayer bailouts wich only leads to a culture of compalceny, ie eskom/saa/saps/ANC/denel - the very reason things get privatized because their are no credible alternatives.

I watched and listened to the whole of this and find your attitude to be quite depressing but understandable. I find it depressing because a free market system (Adam Smith) is the primary cause of progress and the elimination of poverty in recent history, yet you equate it to apartheid. The other thing that concerns me is again you demonise technology which is the primary mechanism of progress in the current era. I also notice that you never once mention the importance of individual effort and ambition, which is the primary vehicle for any meaningful advancement of a human being. It surprises me because you obviously have put in much effort which I assume has been motivated by a particular ambition of your own. I find it unfortunate that academics with a few letters after their name always assume that the people who they claim to be concerned with liberating don't have the energy, talent and ambition which they themselves possess. However I did find this discussion to be enlightening so thank you and good luck with the sales of your book (in a free market) :)

Today we have more rich black than others, is that wrong?
