I love how David allows his guest to narrate their story from beginning to where they are currently. You get a deeper insight into their successes and trials and tribulations hence the 3 hours which is worth every minute

I tell you what: this by far the best episode/interview ever on this show 👏🏾, I even saved it to rewatch it … it’s that good. The interview grew on me or I grew into it 🤷🏾‍♂️… Yeey this man has the Liver to say some things most of us (myself included) are afraid of saying… marriage, love, parents etc… He was dropping gems 💎 after gems 💎 yhuu 😮… so many takeaways to even mention. You are one brave man, kudos 👏🏾 for your courage… this was a MASTERCLASS 🎓

Well done Solly Mankga ... Humbling yourself is leading you to higher places in life. God looks at the renewed mind and the heart desperate for change. You are that man.

I am driving alone to Bushbuckridge from Gauteng this Saturday. This interview will keep me company in the winding beautiful-green-surrounded roads of Mpumalanga. Thank you once again Mashabela.

Bra David is one off the best Interviewers/ conversationalists in the game. He has this special ability of having his guests feel at ease and comfortably share their experiences.

I have listened to this interview more than 3 times now. My take is that you have mastered your purpose so well. You have chosen you and your assignment in life. Keep it up 🎉welldone Solly. You are such a serial entrepreneur, a true people developer, an optimistic guy, very authentic, honest and genuine, curious, persistent, courageous, enthusiastic, and optimistic. What a story!!! May God direct your steps as you maneuver in life holistically.

I love his honesty and how he tells his story. May he find healing and start to see women differently. I hope we start learning how to love our children so that they don't feel neglected and get trauma from their parents, especially by moms. And I pray he builds a relationhip with his son.

Talk about being Genuine, by far one of the most honest interviews I’ve seen on this podcast 👌🏾

He carried so much pain, but I’m glad he’s aware. Wishing him all the healing that he needs

i listen to this guy for 10 mins , 10 mins is now 15 is now 35 , 35 is like wow , good telling story , this guy has a skill

Please reach out to your son. Try and be the bigger person and reason with his mother. Remember his mother raised him alone so of cause she’ll be protective, but the kid will appreciate you fighting for him.

I watched this at three in the morning and I was amplified with the understanding that tomorrow will only, and can only be built by your own two hands. Thank you David for exposing us to such incredible individuals, I can't wait for you to have SKEEM GP! And a few will only speak about the trauma that the woman in our lives sometimes (unaware) put as through. Your podcast is proper and may it grow bigger.

Spot on David- the recreation of the same trauma may recreate what he hated growing up through his son. Solly, thank you for sharing your story and heart.

This is by far one of the best interviews I've ever listened to ...I was gloued to my screen for 3hrs ..interesting story . KingD is a legend guys. His interview skills is impeccable. Able to hold a discussion for that long and keep it interesting 🎉🎉🎉

Wow .. what a story, what a narrator, what a host … everything about this 3 hours 34 Mins was insightful .. Thanks for your story … I hope more people get to see this podcast .

After Musa's interview, I must say this is my favorite! I've beeeeen skipping it for the longest time but I'm glad I finally decided to watch. What an honest take on his experience!

The sad part is you dealing with your trauma but not being aware that you actually continuing the cycle with your own kid cause the boy will also inherit this curse until you fight yourself to change this won't stop. Be there for your son that's the healing.

There's just something about this podcast. I've watched and listened to Solly mankha and Tshidi mankga interviews before on other platforms. And I was not inspiring and touching like it is to watch and listen here on king david. Bra Dave come on there's something special about this platform. Please incase one day you feel like stopping just think of me. I'm a loyal support who watches every episode because I'm learning alot from this podcast. God bless you personally and professionally. This Is the future. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This has been very informative and motivating. I was skeptical to watch as I once watched Solly's interview on Unpacked with Relebogile Mabotja. I'm glad I watched. It felt like a first time and there's a lot I learned that I didn't know before about his story. Absolutely admire how courageous, driven and resilient he is. It really is inspiring.

Thanks bra Dave for this interview. Bra Solly is another great example of a people who started from humble beginnings.

Solly's relation to women is like when you grow up without a father as a woman, then become a single parent supporting yourself and your child. You also build a wall of defence and want nothing to do with men.

if i have to pay for watching content, king david studio podcast would be my first to pay as a member. thank you for the quality content Ntate David. you are changing lives by the people you bring to the podcast. thanks to your team as well.

Bra David, thank you for your intentionality and non judgemental approach when doing interviews. It's always so genuine and the servant-hood of treating peoples stories with the utmost respect is evident.

This interview is one of the best I have had the privilege to watch from this channel

This is a grootman! If you just arrived , I advice to watch the whole podcast. I’m busy, it has taken me 2 days to finish it but it was worth it. Thank you bra Dav❤

Wow wow wow, what an interview. I've watched it since 2am just after watching SKEEM GP. Bro Deza you're the best and you bring the best guests. 👌🏾

This guy is designed for greater things. Props to you Mr Mankga for your phenomenal story. I could even rewatch the whole interview without even complaining. What a constructive conversation you guys had. You really made me change the way I think about prisoners. It is indeed that crime bears bitter fruit, look at yourself how you have transformed. May the great lord bless you abundantly. Warmest wishes in every journey you are about to embark on.

Great interview and learning experience. But sad as well, he's treating his son the same way his mom treated him-cold and detached

Thank you Bra Dav for having Solly on... I love his interviews ,always interesting and fascinating. His stories are real testiment to everyone who has been imprisoned and wants to change there life around.

In the beginning, I felt so sad hearing how Mr Solly's childhood impacted him especially about his mom. As a mother, it made me realize the impact we have on our kids. I even felt how angry he is but was glad to hear in the end that he is working on his traumas. What a motivational episode & love how he preaches the important of education.

Your podcast is very addictive and informative, god bless you David!

Bra Dave you are born for this how you able to make people tell their true stories with such depth is amazing your energy always on top be it on radio and podcast

Great that he studied and turned his life around but some of his points and perspective on life , love are of a damaged person , he's entitled to believe that however it comes across as the same anger issue he talks about he suffers from it , in the process creating another Solly in his child , easy to say he must forgive his parents , family and baby mama but hard to do it , good luck to him and King David is thee greatest conversationalist in the world . Enjoyed this episode😎 .

This story has really touched me and gave me hope. This man has survived a lot of hardships. Thank you for sharing your story. I am going through some challenges in my business and you encouraged me to keep going.

I love how this conversation changed from exconvict to a business man. Yhoo sitting for 3 hours, this was worth watching thank you.

Thank you David for advocating for the boy😢!I feel sorry for all the pain Solly went through in prison,with the girlfriend and his mother.He's such an honest and intelligent father his son would really benefit from him!

Im happy that David confronted in depth ,man to man, the issue of Bra Solly and his son and the effect his decisions and actions will have on his innocent son . Big up David .

Mdave, Your channel needs to be right there in prisons, schools, families and Hospitals to teach all people who are victim of crime. I love you man. May my Good Lord gives you more wisdom to conquer All odds.

Bra David, thanks for this interview. The call at the end😭😭 great interview, all the best gentlemen. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

i've met bra Solly 3 times, and Hes an amazing human being, he shares information and very chilled!! its good to see you on this platform touching more lives!!

Tik tok brought me here now i can't leave. Great motivation

On the surface he truly looks like a changed man. I just hope that he finds it in his heart to do right by his child because his child will need more than just money, and he needs to break that cycle of nit having the love and support from your parents as he was deprived of that through no fault of his own. Great interview 👍

The pain he has when he speaks about his mom I get him so much

Solly I'm short of words. You are my motivator, you raised me up when I see my life as dead but alive. May God bless you and keep going son of the African soil

One of great conversations. Such a hard worker bhuti Solly, indeed hardwork pays. Apologies for what you have experienced while you were young. I am glad that you survived such terrible situations so that you can be an inspiration to us today that there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you Bhut' David for bringing this gentleman on your show. His story is a story of hope and resilience... Many of us can learn a thing or 2 from him. God bless you and your channel.

Danko. Mr Mankga and the King David-the moment when I realized I missed not listening to you all these years, damn, the best podcast in RSA

Let us take care of the boy child too. Wishing you the best abuti Solly, well done.

I never watch podcasts from the start until to the finish coz I get tired , but today I did with Solly Mankga I'm inspired, The fighting spirit he has, the human resilence ❤, Thank David for bringing him on the show 🎉 Wow

Am glad bro solly knows the root of his trauma, and this is what a lot of men need to do confront the trauma and speak about it, that's the only way to heal... even in therapy you have to relive the trauma inorder for you to heal

"A leopard never changes it's spots, I'm not a leopard I'm a human being. POWER

You a blessing indeed. Thank you David for such a humble serving. We love you.. The journey to success starts now.

Wow! What a powerful interview! I'm inspired! Motivated! The is a solution to every problem we face... for as long as you are optimistic

Wht a wow interview brother Solly I once saw u koBraaamficher in de church wow thank u.

David o senganga Ntate I appreciate you...that special moment in the end with Mme Prof and Bra Solly was the best...🙏

Ntate Mashabela ke senganga. This interview started on some deep level, you were the mediator sir. And whilst we are deep in, he says "Where were you born" wow.

I like Solly for saying I don’t want to call them “amaforeigner”. He sees value in people as humans.

If you like honest conversation, this is the podacast! Dankie Bra David

Best interview ever. May God heal you and use you to help other people.

Buti Solly, what I love more is you praying for Dr Mamokgethi, it's so heart warming to find a male person relying on prayer. I think God for your life

I NEVER CRIED this much for your story, Solly!! Thanks, Bro David 🙏🏿 🎉

He said,, "I don't have a relationship with THAT BOY"😢

I have been this podcast for the second day now due to loadshedding. It is long but I told myself that I will finish it. Every time I come back I start from the beginning because I did not want to miss anything. I always say this that the traumas Black people have are soo deep and enrooted from the apartheid atrocities. It is unfortunate that the elite and the privilege ones always downplay this notion. Truth is we inherited so much from apartheid.

I can personally relate to and a relationship with my mother, I never had one and I suffered from distinguishing what love is, with therapy and really understanding that our parents are humans as well and as we hold them to a greater standard, they will mess up, better to love and give the love you wish you had, I love the wise outlook you have bhuti. Thank you and may all your blessings come your way. Thank you Dave.

King Dave your podcast is a gift to us... This is a very learning Channel, real people telling real stories about their life which we all relate too how as human race we face difficult situation.

You are both amazing. The host asked tough questions and the guest humbled himself and I could feel his honesty 🙏🏿

thank you so much. ifocus is pivotal. society can be unforgiving but when you forgive yourself, you begin to appreciate yourself.

Well done once again for a great story. I think it teaches in so many things, inspiration to studying, reading, lessons of life in a sense of rejection, out casting etc...

Wow David, what a wise and strategic conversation. Hopefully it is transformative and advances healing towards Mr Mange. Best wishes to Mr Mankge

I can relate to all the stories tsama Grootman, please get more Grootmans to come and share, as young men or young fathers we need these stories Bra D. I listened to Jakarumba, I related to his story and how he ended up Ko ZCC, heard skhumba- I related, especially his strict mother, watched podcast ya Ntate Nawa, now Bra Solly... My point is I am in my 30s and I see and hear where they are now and I can already get strength that I'll get there, hurdles are a part of life.

Wow!!! You know I've listened to this interview for the 3rd time but it's like it's for the first time listening to it. I love it every time I listen to it❤❤❤❤❤.

❤❤❤Love how he owns his truth.But the things he said also make you realise how much pain black men are carrying.I also love the fact that he does not plan to have kids,because he is not going to put someone through the same thing.

the man him self waooo you are an open free leaving straight talker.......i respect you Solly

Guys when he said prisoners are planning to revenge by making ladies outside fall in love with them , I just thought of Thabo Bester and Dr nandipha story and was like what if...........🙆

David i love how you council with love and 0 judgement,with such empathy.Solly on the other hand has displayed such valnarability honesty and transparency ,it admirable as always and i respect him.I pray restoration over his ,our God is able.

Oh Solly can narrate, i am enjoying...remember when he was on Relebogile's Unpacked, i am humbled👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What an interview,Solly is clear and focused-David is a good listener...Both of them are best leaders.I wish we had such leadership in our South African parliament.

Wow Bra David you are wise, especially on that part where you were advising Bra Solly about his kid. The thing is you don't usually give your opinions, so today was the first time I heard you tell a guest his mistake.

I hope the brother heals... There is more to life than living through past traumatic experiences

Yoh very inspiring talk, most of the time we complain and give up about very simple things in life, it's not only inspiring for ex offenders but for people who are unemployed as well.

Only if women would understand that single parenting is hurting kids they would stop this thing of equality and keep legs closed until marriage is formalized

Thanks David you open eyes of many women's that they have to take care of there are children not always be busy 😢

Poverty introduced alot of black children to crime, early pregnancy causing child neglect. Lack of support from the family is also a contributing factor. Black tax as well.

👌👌👌 grateful that you addressing your traumas...you'll soon feel brand new and your son deserves it

I'm proud of you Bra Solly and Mdeva King David keep up the good work my brother always motivating our brothers who are in prison because some has no one there but your voice is keeping them going.

I'm not okay It's 01:49 midnight cleaning the house after a week of not cleaning, not because im busy but iv struggling to take care of self. After listening to this using my Bluetooth speaker I now realised the reason why I'm not okay. Having a parent who is there but not there ,cuts deep. I remember when I was in primary grade 7 the teachers called my mom to fetch me because I had Messed my school due to periods. My mom told the teachers she was at a job interview. When I got home I found her with friends drinking beer in her PJs @ Bra David how do I get over my childhood traumas when my mom isn't alive to cry too.😔💔

This guy has hurt too much and for a very long time. I know that pain and grew to hurt many and treated girls like objects. Even when I found God at a later stage of my life I still found it difficult to believe that I could be loved. But God’s love was so persistent including his several visitations, assuring me whenever I was attending interviews that he was behind me. Today I am healed and I can live back. We humans can only reciprocate what we have received, whether love or rejection. May this guy receive true healing from God.

I don’t know this man but there’s something special about him…

Thanks King David for hosting bra Solly I've learned alot, keep up the good work 👏

The gems and wisdom in this interview it's beyond measure.....#keep hoisting the flag Bra Dave

My heart is bleeding for this man, may you find healing.

SOLLY PLEASE WRITE A BOOK OR GET SOME ONE TO WRITE IT FOR YOU. YOUR STORY WILL TOUCH MANY KIDS WHO GROW UP WITH OUT THEIR FATHER OR MOTHER.🙏🙏🙏

I love abut Solly story. Very inspired and hope many people are. The cherry on top was when they called my fav professor Mamokgethi Phakeng. My 3 hours did not go to waste at all. I loved every second of the Interview! Good Job

This is the second interview of Oom Solly, that I've seen. His life story really echoes a lot of harsh realities...

The way this guy is so aticulate and intelligent sounding he is a real fighter I love the fighting spirit in him. I can relate to his story. How a person is brought up affects their emotional DNA unfortunately in African communities teenagers who went through such never get a chance to go thruogh councelling.

Great insight again Mr David, Solly is fine with himself.

This guy is really an inspiration to other people out there, his side of story about jail is so UNIQUE, normaly we always here people talking about serving sentences till they finish their sentences and some tell us about number gangs and bad things occurring there. He ran from serving a sentence till jail circumstances force him to conform into the standards of prison, his story is so UNIQUE!.

I salute the bravery of saying your heart and without prejudice. Thats the spirit 👏 and the other thing that I learnt myself during my time in prison too,,, There's is no too late and there's no too early in life"...trying to say in the right time all will prevail.

What an amazing and insightful Podcast. Thank you David🙏🏽

This awesome 👌 👏 👍 David you are the best....I mean you was born for this. Looking forward to meeting you and sharing my journey of 22 years direct imprisonment
