That crazy 8 'social experiment' has summarized so much about the black man's confidence. The funny thing about saving your best moves for the last minute is that when you are actually 'ready to play', the ship has already left.

🤔 It is in the white mans interest to keep the black man where he is. When the black man adopts the ways of the white man, the black man will forever stay where he is, which is exactly where the white man wants him to be. White people did us dirty. Black people doing other black people dirty because of the dirt of the white man. Bra Penuel it is so simple. It is easy to spread hate/competition in the townships cos we too close to our neighbors. Imagine a stack of matchsticks, light one & they all burn, that is how black communities are destabilized. We will make more progress the day we all spread out kancane, we don't need to have a "Joburg" in every province.

Grew up in joburg until 2004 moved to Cape town and just moved but to Joburg 2022 all i can say Cape Town is very divided.. N2 R300 and N1 .. these free ways Means Poor class, Middle class and high class.. as a black to Drive a Maserati or Porsche you must be nigerian.. our People are trapped to be not easily exposed to knowledge of inspiration.. you are found walking in Constantia or Knewlands you are escorted out as a black person.. it’s sad.. that Whites, Coloureds and Blacks are so very divided from each other.. Where as in Joburg it’s different..

There is a amazing Xhosa that's spoken by the guyz from cape town, I wish he spoke more of it...

"What's wrong with the Cape Town" ... the structural violence is deeply entrenched in Cape Town, making the barrier to entry that much harder. Sadly a lot of people choose to leave Cape Town which maintains the status quo...lack of exposure to black success is by design, it's kept far away, few in townships, working class young black professionals can mainly afford living far away from the city and I understand why they leave because everything seems like a constant struggle...that's exhausting... the ripple effect of all of these things and more make a lot wrong with Cape Town and it needs a lot of us to do the work.

Genuinely, a great interview. Slim is such a good speaker.

Betting on yourself typically refers to having confidence in your abilities and making decisions or taking actions that will lead to personal success or achievement. "bet on yourself": Remember that betting on yourself is about taking control of your life and making choices that align with your aspirations. It's a mindset of self-reliance and determination to create a successful and fulfilling path for yourself.

Thanks for the chat! Great insights. I only disagree with Slim's idea of relocating people from Cape Town as the sole solution for hope. My advice is to collaborate with local entrepreneurs in Cape Town, like SirVince who recently launched Therapy restaurant on Kloof Street, or Luvuyo from the Silulo Foundation. Building partnerships with existing talent can uplift the community more effectively.

I can fully attest to the guest's sentiments about not being "seen" in Cape Town. I've only being living & working here for just under a year & my experience is that Cape Town is no place for black people to thrive - here a black person is not only not seen, but infantilized & one's dignity & sense of self worth is eroded on a daily basis. I have decided to leave this place & will start my life from scratch, from the bottom of the food chain in my home province, with the little sanity I have left.

Consistency Pen, it can’t be the same show that interviews Vusi Thembekwayo that also interviews Slim For the first time, I see Penuel speaking more than listening merely on the basis of the guest at hand. Slim is an entertainer and was supposed to go on the McGee podcast and not here It’s like inviting Drake on Joe Rogans podcast, you’re not an entertainer Pen, you’re an informer and a teacher Love your podcast and your content nonetheless brother 🙏🏿

Panuel can you invite rutendo and asking about Zimbabwean election.

I agree with Buntu, there is just something about Cape Town, almost like its in the air. Limitations you can`t really admit to because they are subtle in nature. A sort of "accepted" discomfort. Black success is only for the few, "the brave ones", high risk takers and the "YES BAAS".

Many of us want to liberate White South Africans & other rich South Africans get out of the scarcity mindset they have. Uplifting Siya Kolisi & Lukhanyo Am doesn't mean you're disempowering a White kid... it means you can dominate the world and open more doors, for Black & White kids. Same thing with money and the economy... rich ppl need to help us, so we can help them make more money from the world.

Bet On Yourself!!! The best investment you can ever make is in acquiring skills, meeting progressive people & building a great body. Whenever ppl ask me what to do with R10,000... I tell them to invest in whatever got them the R10k in the first place, and then scale it.

Why do so many black people not feel included in Cape Town? Why are the majority of black people in CT struggling to move up financially like black people in places like Joburg and Durban?

@@iprofox3758 Coloured is a culture. Historically it's culturally of core Asian origin. Cape Town, a port city, was the heart of the old Cape Colony. Natives were ethnically cleansed and chased beyond the expanding Eastern frontier (became the native reserve). Labour was imported from Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) including of Chinese, Philipipino, Malay, Indian etc. extraction & other places like Madagascar & Mozambique, into the colony. The native reserve people & people from inland also became Cape Colony labour. This led to the Asian core culture & Africans in one domain and admixture. Particularly in 20th century, many Afrikaans-speaking Africans classified as Coloured for 2nd Class treatment instead of 3rd class (native) with the compulsory Population Registration Act. It was then that statistically the Coloured label became far more genetically African, though culturally still with a lot of the historically-evolved colonial hostility toward the native "enemy of the colony".

But aren't Jewish people have Ubuntu to their own people, isn't that what makes them great and economically powerful?

Kanye West should come to the penual show

What tripe about roads. Roads are built by government and the labour is black people. What does "in other African countries roads are built by black people" (direct quote) even mean? Also, 90%+ of people employed in Nigeria are employed in the informal sector. So are millions of South Africans. Why is it that person's own money in NGR but not SA under the same conditions. There are many foreign companies in those countries too. Historical settler colonialism is obviously another issue, but his earned money claim makes no sense.

@agrid2608

Cape Town's social, economic & spatial architecture. It's the heart of an old established colony, with a "filled" establishment. Its entire history was ethnic cleansing, keeping natives who were not willing to be subservient labour or political troublemakers beyond the frontier in the native reserve in the East., while also drawing its continual labour from that reserve for centuries. Black life in CPT feels unsettled. And among people of colour, the highest concentration of Asian colonial population being a good chunk of it, in an old port city, created a culture often with a similar hostility towards the natives as the white colonial population. Once you get to one side of the mountain its very tourist-defined with pricing for foreign expats, European retirees etc. All of this creates a economic landscape that feels relatively developed but somewhat "closed-off" in dynamic opportunity to most Blacks & Coloureds.
