One thing I love about alternative media platforms such as this podcast, is that it gives inspirational South Africans such as Adv Mpofu to tell us their truth and the journey they travelled thus far.

Father and son conversation I'm loving it👏👏

Being independent as a man, is the greatest achievement. Well done sir. Your footprint is live.

A mean who's child turns out to be such a gentleman shows the true character of the teacher ...

I'm Zimbabwean. I had tears in my eyes watching your interview because your dad narrated the story of my life. My mother did everything your grandmother did. I also was awarded an Alfred Beit secondary school merit scholarship. It changed my life and that of my offspring. Those who work hard consistently are favoured with luck. There is hope for those who work hard.

This is great conversation. Thank you Sizwe and Dali! As a white South African, I love to listen to people of other cultures' experiences during Apartheid. I have to mention, though, that limitations on Education were also experienced by white South Africans. My mother was one of 7 children, growing up on a small farm in rural Eastern Cape. They, too, walked a couple of miles to school each day, from the age of 5 - barefoot. She used to tell me how they would put their feet in cow dung to warm up during the cold winters. They were very poor, even though they had the prospect of acquiring land (which is a major difference, I guess, between the white and black population of that time). My oupa had to buy the land even though his ancestors grew up there (don't know what was up with that). He had all of his children's teeth pulled because they were so remote and he could not afford the dental care! Hahaha. My oldest uncle went to University, and ended up working for the CSIR. The second oldest had to drop out of school in Std. 8 in order to assist in tending the farm. The 5 girls were all prompted to go into nursing, social work or education, as these were the limitations put on women at the time. I think those years did all of us a disservice, even though - granted - some had waaaaay less going for them than others. It is so heartwarming to see our black children today succeed and have bright-eyed ambitions to start businesses and build their own empires. May God bless Africa and may we find each other on mutual ground.

@@BonganiMagadu Hi Bongani. This was in the Eastern Cape. My grandfather had to buy the farm and I think he made his last payment when his children was grown. Obviously they were at least able to sustain themselves off the land, as I believe was the case for many of the early Afrikaners who were allowed to buy land. That generation was generally on the poor side, which I believe is why the then NP government decided to intervene to solve the "Arm Afrikaner probleem" by reserving government jobs and access to land to whites. This is where we went down the wrong path, because black people was prevented to do the same, although I am not sure what exactly the laws were in the so-called Bantustans or tribal areas like Ciskei and Transkei. How did land ownership work in these areas? Did tribal leaders rule over it all like today in areas of KZN?

Thanks to hear from you that whites as well had restrictions for education and land although we use to hear from our politicians that our struggle is going to free whites as well from their government

Beautiful Family. True South African Heroes.

I miss my father a lot, around this time I would be having a man-to-man conversation with him. Rest in peace.

It's the professionalism for me!!!! i am so emotional.. i can't watch this now. I need strength!!!

One of the many stories that HAVE to be told. I loved every minute of this interview. Eye opening, educational from so many different points of view and enlightening. Thank you!

iam not South African , but everytime i see Sir Dali Mpofu i feel like i belong here i feel like iam home here. Thank you Adv Dali may God Bless you indeed.

Sizwe, where can this episode be submitted for an interview of the year? It's perfect in many respects. It's an unapologetic display of affection, love and respect between father and son. Something rare in our society. It's also a professional interview, formal yet personal and full of passion at the same time. That you can balance the three, with the close relationship between the subject and host, is exceptional. It has a biographical quality about it, while relating the hidden part of apartheid history of our country. It counsels' those who may feel overwhelmed by their problems. This story proves nothing is beyond your capacity to overcome, only if you do so decide. It's a story of hard work, resilience and meeting luck along the way and quickly snatching it. No procrastination and feeling pity for oneself. This interview is a winner for me. Big ups Sizwe ❤🎉💪👌🚀

To the Mpofus. Words do not go far enough to describe how amazing Advocate Mpofus has been in our lives. We now have interest in politics and law and economic issues because of your work. Your work in the Nkandla Case that was public, is unparallel. and the nice thing at the time the Chiefs Justice was also someone that was very astude. Advocate Tembeka, its amazing how black lawyers can do so well in RSA.

You are blessed SMWX your father has brought memories 😢😢😢well life is short 🙏 May God bless your 👨‍👩‍👧 dad and a loyal family ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Amazing that Dali had his mom as the stronger of the role models as his dad got sick. Sizwe also gave greater credit to his mom while at Wits University, having to deal with identity and racism. Bravo to the strong moms we have!

⁠​⁠@@Intothelight1981dead? Do you understand legacy? Has it been undone? What happens to those who refuse to learn history? In any event you can chew and walk at the same time. Steven Friedman and other scholars have spelt out clearly how corruption is deeply embedded and has been a constant feature of South African political life since the arrival of Jan van Riebeeck and colonial settler project in 1652. “The most corrupt period in the country’s history was the last few years of apartheid, when the attempt to combat the successful international sanctions campaign made corruption, protected by government secrecy, the core government strategy. This was often done with the collusion of private businesses. A particular feature of the last years of apartheid was a blurring of the public and private which was continued into the new order in at least two ways. The first was obviously corrupt - the illicit networks which operated during the last years of apartheid recruited people in the new government: former enemies quickly became business partners. The second was more complicated. It was widely assumed that the ANC would soon govern but its senior officials lacked the means to live the lifestyle expected of people of standing. Businesses, for motives both pure and impure, stepped in to help with cars, homes and private schools. When businesses realised they would need black business partners, the only candidates they knew were the political activists with whom they negotiated. So, it was to them that they offered the shares and seats on boards which were essential if business was to adapt to new political realities. The seeds of post-1994 corruption were, therefore, deeply planted in the country’s past. But corruption since then is also a symptom of another way in which the past was carried over into what was meant to be a new society. Before 1994, the groups which controlled the state used it to ensure that they controlled the economy too.”

How wonderful to see this beautiful father son interaction. Thank you. One can see the love and respect from both. Inspirational.

Thank you so Much Sizwe for bringing forward your father to this interview. He is very inspirational to our lives as South Africans be cause he save innocent people by implementing justice as he is saying.

Conversation with dad❤ how lucky you are to have a father also showing an amazing bond between the father and son.❤❤❤❤❤

Interesting story from the big man. Reminds me of the stories my mother shares about her time in the 70s and 80s, she grew up in Qonce in the former Ciskei.

This is beautiful man! I respect what you did here. Unmatched. As a father myself , I really wish my father was still alive, it was going to be an honor to do this with him. God bless you Doc..

He's so competent imagine an advocate who's been a judge

"some of us don't have a PHD" 🤣🤣 Nice one interviewing your dad during family season. Spread the fire🔥🔥🔥

The people's Advocate. What a great man and a leader!

Sizwe what you doing for today your dad is amazing man.. Without you we wouldn't know the fire that has purified him to become such a fine and precious legal mineral 🔥🔥... Thanks bro, we appreciate your Chanel ❤❤

Oh boy, what an inspiration advocate Dali Mpofu is, I can relate to his story. I am from the villages. I left school in grade 4 and went back, and I made it to the university. I was a leader of the house committee as well, etc.

Advocate Mpofu we are so grateful in Southern Africa to have you in our country your unfailing love for South Africans its amazing Sir izimpil ozilwayo for South africans is more than apartheid and you still grounded in love Advocate may God bless you and your family❤

The people's advocate. Progressive Blacks must admire for this man for his selflessness

This conversation was good to learn a bit of where Dali came from. And to have risen above that is impressive and should be respected. It however does not take away the stain of highly questionable decisions he has made, and the depths of depravity he has dived into. It does not absolve those things.

I need a Dali Mpofu SC autobiography asap ❤⚖️ Dr Mpofu-Walsh please talk to dad.

I wish l could have such conversations with my father but due to circumstances beyond my control it won't happen happy for advocate Mpofu that his law library will have someone to inherit

Awesome interview. I can only imagine how proud the two of you must be feeling, as the guest & host; father & son. A rare privilege especially to traverse the many thought provoking topics which demand analytical rigor. Congrats Dr. Sizwe. Congrats Adv Mpofu.

Its so interesting to watch father and son bond in public professionally and get an insight into the family lnsight. Keep it up Sizwe from Eswatini

Protect this man at all costs

dont know how much I always wanted to see this two great minds together. I see where Sizwe gets his strength.

I finally found this podcast. Very touching intro interviewing your dad! This is my favorite Advocate. Taking the president Zuma defence opened my eyes on the kind of person he is especially after he joined the EFF. Resolute person, takes decisions and follows through. Salute!

Great storytelling, the best way to disseminate knowledge from one generation to the next, great job Dr,

Respect to this moment. Its an annointed moment. How many people can have a moment like this.

I wish to see Sizwe on the other side one day. I wish to know about his childhood, upbringing etc

Siswe, what a wonderfull topic you brought with Advocate Mpofu,i like this man,especially when he presents his cases in courts, he is extra brillient. You have taken after him.Keep it up.

Awesome Sizwe, well done on giving your Dad such a Father's Day gift! I'm very proud of you - I used to babysit you as a 4 months old baby at Barnato Hall when your parents would go out on Dinner Dates and so on! I could never have known that I was part of bringing up a Genius! Good luck with your legal studies! Incidentally, I was studying my LLB Degree at the time!😍

Hi, from Saudi Arabia, I admire your dad greatly - for his patience, endurance, and resilience, albeit brutal and harsh at times. LOL. 😊 The content of this heartwarming, and often distressing, conversation would make an excellent book to give insight into the experiences and life of someone who persevered through some of the most unbearable trials and tribulations of socio-economic issues and more importantly CRIMINAL, DIABOLICAL, HEINOUS APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA! Like a beautiful water lily, he rose from an odious-smelling Lilypond of gutter education to become a sophisticated world-class intellectual who can confidently convince and persuade others. He is one of a few ( in our millions) who can express, clearly and intellectually, the nuances in the experiences of a resilient, forward-thinking black person whose narrative and ambition was to conquer and eradicate apartheid! A remarkable personality who may inspire millions in South Africa and abroad, to develop and improve themselves to remain relevant! Thank you! I must confess a tear!

You guys have a good relationship to be cherished. Great conversation Dr!

Wooow, this is beautiful to watch.Splitting image of your Fr Dr Sizwe

Its so healing and refreshing to watch this❤; just to see the father-son connection. Sizwe is so blessed to have a father like this🫶🏾 May God continue to bless you brother🎉

One of the striking moments of the Advocate's life is when he got stabbed at the beach in the Eastern Cape. I wish we gotten an insight into what that was about and whether or not the perpetrators ever got caught. There is so much to ask. I also wanted more discussion about his life in the EFF and his life at the SABC. In my view, he is the last solid CEO SABC ever had.

Thanks so much 🙏. That's really all I can say. Thank you kindly.

God bless that generation. Please. Give them peace. They are truly the roses that grew from the cracks in the concrete that Tupac described 🤞

This is perhaps the best interview so far. Great chemistry as usual. Looking forward to the life in the law episode. Lots of love from the UK. Ayeye!
