Every Zimbabwean should camp here and hand over the flowers. Flame lilies for this Legend. We absolutely love you Ntate Gwala🙏🏾 Can we get Amapiano tracks from the new school South Africans based off of Ntate Gwala’s music…better yet feature the Legend…he’s still here looking like he hasn’t aged a bit👌🏾👌🏾🔥🔥🔥

The thing is we appreciate these people in SA. It’s just that here we have an eclectic taste in music across many genres. So ouR Attention is always spread across many artists.

he is more of a Zimbabwean legend this one...his songs are played in our radio stations and we have never stopped playing them....ema shabeen we still play his music

The smile Mr Gwala has when he tells his story 🥲

I was born in 94 and i still listen to F Gwala's music

Yoh David... What a legend you've brought to this platform. I have memories of his music while growing up in rural 🇸🇿.

Freddie you must listen to Ezra's your tube ngisakhumbula they play your songs so much from Zimbabwe

Big up Bra MDava for hosting this legendary musician, some of us grew up listening to him in Zimbabwe in the early 90s and now we are still fans in the Uk 🇬🇧 and the diaspora. We have made Freddy Gwala and the late Dan Tshanda our own.

Dan Tshanda interestingly his father was from Zim, his real surname was Chihuri.

Madamara himself..enjoyed that..lots of love from Zim

He is a legend in Zimbabwe. Thank you landlord Mashable’s for bringing him to the podcast

Freddy gwala is a legend, my father is a former prisoner and I know all his songs because of my dads prison experiences. Lena ingwenya

You can tell that he really loved Oliver Mtukudzi by the way he speaks about him.

I hope South Africa knows one day the many legends you have in your hands … in other worlds and places Freddy Gwala would and should be gracing the corridors and hallways of revered musical spaces. He is the DNA of something truly special. Those of us who experienced his magic and electrifying influence growing up in Zimbabwe feel truly blessed. We embraced this massive talent and he embraced us right back and we will forever love him for it. This is a guy who cared about his Zimbabwean fan base waaay before this US dollar craze that is attracting other artists to Zim, long live to his music and every good thing he stands for !!🙏🏾❤️🇿🇼

I was praying for Bra Freddy to mention Tshilamoya on the interview. His name will live forever in Zim through that song!!!

I love how he described his home, the love he saw between hus parents and warmth experienced . Indeed, a good background is critical to shape a man.

David dressed up for the occasion 🥰

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I AM HERRRREEEEE.... DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES IVE ASKED BRA DAVE TO INVITE THIS MAN??????? THANK YOU BRA DAVE

🤣 Is it me or what? I just noticed that David is wearing the checked shirt life Freddy.....lol Great show as always....

I don't usually watch interviews longer than 2 hours, but I made an exception for this one because it is Freddy Gwala's first interview. Thank you, bro Dav, for the interview.

Freddie is very intelligent hands down! This man has multiple hits for days!

I always take advices from people like Freddy Gwala because his lifestyle isn't fake. From the 80s until today, he has seen almost everything in music and he's still existing. Thank you Mr Gwala for gracing our households with great music.

Bra Dave, you always make me feel proud of being South African. Madamara!!!❤🙌

Guys this thaema deserve a legendary award singer, composer and producer. Listen to Pure Gold, Platform 1 he was up there.

This mighty man has to be given his flowers whilst he is still in the Land of the Living. He is simply amazing, a well of Wisdom and a special gem

I like how King Dave dressed up for Ntate Gwala👌

I stay in Soweto, I see Freddie thrice a year very humbled guy..... I can't wait for the day u bring Mdu Masilela though that's my favorite ❤❤

oh my GOD my lovely artist 😂

What a Legend!!!! wow, thanks a million Mr Mashabela, always wanted to hear Mr Gwala speak on his life story!

Man what an absolute legend 😭

FINALLY THE LEGEND telling his story

Amadamara thank u for inviting this legend

My favourite artist. I knew his songs before I knew his face, my late father used loved him. We were kids singing his songs not even knowing the lyrics especially the Sotho part. I hope he is doing well

Wish these legend can work with younger producers so to fuse and tap into the “now” generation ..

Ooh am so happy to see this legend

Thanks Bra David for documentation of our history.

UFreddy Gwala ngubaba wethu, ngeke simlahle thina eZimbabwe, noma kubheda kanjani. His music has been an awareness to our youth about jail life and I am sure there is low crime eZimbabwe because of his songs.

This is the type of stuff we subscribe to 😊

Grootman i grew up listening to you NAMANJE, I hope you geting your royalties for your awesome craft

Grew up on this man's music in the dusty streets of Bulawayo. I can assure you, this man was the very definition of 'blowing up' in the 90's. Everywhere you went you heard his unmistakable sound. He is an honorary Zimbabwean and still the man as far as we are concerned. Lathi siyakuthanda mfowethu. Wishing you nothing but long life and good health.

Since oskido is ashamed of us fine keep him sigrand ngeDamara he is ours koBulawayo

This is absolutely amazing and beautiful. Let’s give the man his flowers while he is still alive.

Baba Gwala Salute for your work, we still love your music,, Sir you speak sense & you have so much wisdom I hope the young musician can listen to you.
