Tuning in live from hospital, in Beijing china. Waiting for my operation on Monday. I need your thoughts and prayers chillers.
Update: The operation was a success, however, the road to recovery will take three months, I'm not out of the woods yet, thank you all for the support.
You're in our prayers fam!
Good luck with your operation! Feel better soon!
May God be with you tomorrow.
We are with u in prayers 🙏🏾
Amen
We are really sleeping in Sol’s interviewing skills !!!!!😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺🔥🔥🔥🔥
You held it my G
You’re alone there. Those who know, know that Sol is a goat. Has been and will always be🫡
Ay you been sleeping alone... don't faka us
Who's WE?👀
true skill
Excuse us not "we"
People talking about everything but the elephant in the room: AKA and Anele. Melinda makes a great point of discussion with this book
This lady is so comfortable with her past/present imperfections its inspiring..she's courageous..I want to get to that levelzzz..wow!
Sol is definitely a great fit for such interviews
Bra he is asking the right question. Why 3 books that has the similar story line.
💯
His good
Mac g would be asking about sex😂
He's really good !!!
Sol & Ghosty murdered this interview....Speedy recovery MacG 🙏🔥
Ghostly is secretly cooking...
WHEN AN INTERVIEW IS KIILED
They did🔥🔥🔥🔥
Definitely
He's not dying please, just flue
Melinda Ferguson's story shows that our lives are like diamonds passing through the furnaces called the vicissitudes of life...she's the testament that we can overcome any challenge. Her life story is like a novel, that's why she's a prolific author...
I loved her books!
Well said
Vicissitudes my nigha,konje kusho ukuthini lokho?!
Trials and tribulations@@cheesecoole
@@ntjayabophelo5223 Aweh!! 🙏🏾
This lady is fearless bruh. Big time. I love her honesty and how she is not scared of anything. A good South African woman. ❤❤❤❤
Sol was born for this, it's just in him and you can't tell him otherwise. God given talent 🙌🏽
He's very good❤
Yizo 👊
Well driven, well narrated 🙌🏼
Sol is so incredibly smart loved the interview
I agree 💯
Macg said Phakama chiller, Sol said, thuma mina, 🔥 Ghost lady said I'm right there with you.🎉 Great one
Best comment
Dineo said "anixi tivi"
You nailed it
Ixesha lifikile.
Ghost Lady was personal on this one. She was on fire, great interview. Melinda has balls of steel!
Melinda is the booom johhh standing by her shit.
I know you guys love AKA but that doesn’t exempt him from being a good person who did something bad. The two can coexist
Exactly Im a fan too but I can't get over the fact he mudered her we all he was a drugie he pushed her he dam did
Real
Sol is really climbing the corporate ladder...one day he will have to be given interviews alone, life will always find a way to push you to your dreams...Sol is really doing well.
Let's give Sol his flowers. He handled this with care.🎉🎉
💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🎉
You guys can complement Sol without disrespecting MacG. They’re both good and honestly we don’t know the kind of information MacG would’ve gotten out from this author if he was present. That you can’t take away from him!
He would probably be asking her who smaahed her or something along those lines and laugh about it
MacG with all that smash nonsense was not needed here
Literally. We suck at complementing without disrespecting someone else
I concur
Melinda dishes out everything without fear
I love her so much
This needs to be a new feature on the network where
Sol does serious interviews by himself and gossipy interviews Mac by himself then Monday show as usual.
💯
dont disrespect out leader like what gossipy interviews macg has done one the best interview and he can still do so
@@whynoteducate3786Exactly
Ey kodwa phela umbono wakho mfwethu... buye ninayo yini pho!!!
Agreed, the interviews where we need to know who has smashed and what what, we can have Mac and then Sol as a ghost, but these serious ones we need Phenduka alone
The way this woman broke everything down..... I have to salute her.
RIP AKAnele 🙏. This may go down as one if the best interviews thus year! Shout out to Melinda Ferguson 🎉❤ I need that book!!!!!!
i agree. i thoroughly enjoyed it
The way chillers don't appreciate such informative episodes
They want the real goboza kind of shows lol.
@@Bakii.Lopez9 which is odd, it shows kinda how uninformed and uninterested our people are
This is not informative lol, just biased, non objective , non factual and paid promo
But you could have said it better.......".something like this is a great and very educational" epi instead of bashing people.
Tony is that you?
Sol has the perfect energy for this sensitive topic. I hope Mac get well and can't wait to have him back ❤
Yeah MacG after finding out about her Hillbrow days would have probably dared her to attend to DJ BJ for 1 poin 5😅😂
Thank you, Melinda, for doing this interview. It hardly felt like a typical interview due to Sol's approach. While I haven't delved into Melinda's books yet, her demeanor suggests she makes a great author and journalist. Her authenticity and straightforward personality make her an engaging conversationalist. She doesn't sugar coat or assert superiority but rather articulates her points with respect and grace.
It seems almost providential for Melinda to delve into these narratives, particularly those involving Black tragedies like Anele & AKA and Senzo & Kelly. Some aspects of life are simply suited to certain individuals; it aligns with their inherent purpose and mission. Few South African journalists or authors would likely undertake such deep exploration and public presentation of these stories, given the cultural complexities woven within them that may instill fear. I remember on one of the episodes following the AKA's murder, even Sol and Mac hesitated to speak on that. Melinda's impartiality as a white journalist brings essential objectivity, crucial for reporting on such matters. She makes a good point in highlighting that these stories are of public interest, and In all cases, people want to know the truth. Her passion in writing, together with her history aligns perfectly with that need, and I hope the book does well.
Kudos to Sol, Gostie, and the entire team for your work. 👌👌Wishing Mac a speedy recovery. May the souls of AKA, Anele, and all those affected by the tragic manifestations of toxic love continue to rest in peace. ❤
Lalela, I do not like reading but I do read her books ,Melinda's investigation skills are on another level. Her work is laced!
so nobody is gonna speak about how FIRE Sol's jacket is?
😅You made him take it off😅
We need a whole episode to discuss it 🔥🔥
Paris x Nike x Jordan all in one, can’t go wrong…
hey that Sol jacket is absolutely Fire like you said...damn
Can't see the logo clearly, Mercedes-Benz or Jordan??
Ghosty is asking all the right questions and not mincing her words
Love when she shines
I was looking for this comment!!!! she did so well
Best interview I've ever seen 🙌 I'm very fascinated by this Melinda chick . Yall South Africans are lucky to have a mind like this I'm telling you now she's a rare breed.
Everyone is afraid to say He killed Her, why? this woman is right. 😮We hero worship these guys and overlook their flaws. I'm buying this book
So true
It's a Satanic cult, they protect each other from the President down to the artists, Djs, business men, politicians and etc. It's a multinational cult.
Why should we say he killed her when we don’t know?
Celebrity Obsession Disorder. Ppl still worship Diddy, R Kelly etc to date😂😂😂
@@TheHumanitarian23an illness
Sol does a brilliant job with such interviews! I’m glad it’s him 😊 #alllove
Neh ? I’m enjoying this interview !
@@Sma_Radebe he does a stellar job man I remember when I watched the one he did with the guy who directed (I could be wrong ) but was involved on Sound of freedom.
What a dope interview Sol. You’ve officially unleashed yourself as a host too instead of being under the Co-Host box. Well done dawgie!!!!
It's not a box bro it's a role. Sol has no limits and I'm shocked that you guys are surprised by his abilities.
Sol has no interest in being the main host , he’s mastered his craft as co host to a point where the host has to live up to his level. It’s an art and a legitimate role and skill .
sometimes being a co-host has limitations...I think 959 Breakfast can do without him because he is not the main man...I was disappointed that he was not given the main responsibility when Dineo left...
@@mafolokgaogelostimela3080 Sol said himself that he doesn’t want to be the main host, co hosting is a real role, you’re making it sound like it’s a means to an end, it’s not. There are skills in these and both are important.
Melinda speaks her truth!!! "Someone has got to do it"
This interview was short,
She knows a lot than what she's telling us
It’s all in the book
she knows nothing. she is trying to get people to buy this book
Lol.@@hlelatuluma1494
She knows nothing. Sol says he read the book and is basically a compilation of what is already on social media.In her defence she says she was writing it for people who didn't know or follow AKA😅😅
A few minutes in and I can already tell that Sol is going to kill this interview. 👏👏👏
M loving how ghosty is so invested into this, well researched and asking relevant questions
I don't want to lie, I had my reservations about this lady but she makes so much sense. And she's so neutral !!! I'm definitely buying the book.
Thank you MacG for trusting Sol with this interview. He killed it 🔥
Halala for Us who liked the show Before even watching❤
There's an opportunity on the Podcast for Sol conducted interviews with Ghost lady, for the more laid back adult-like interviews. It would add variety to the channel, beyond the "loud" and "goofy" Monday / Thursday shows. Chiller's Digest.
I concur. Chillers Digest it is
MakiG can be ignorant as fck, he is too playful..
I like this, I also paid much more Attention in this episode, the interview was amazing, loving the Sol & ghostie combo on such sensitive interviews ❤❤
100%! Conversations with more substance for the lady back chillers please
Good point
I agree that there’s no black person who was going to write the book
Nah this lady made really valid points people are just trolling...good interview Sol❤
True
Word this is factual and drugs are reality taking life of those whom we love.
True
This lady is hardcore she's a G
Also a liar
@@acaciosramodike2115let’s not be too quick to judge time will tell and unveil.. look what is happening to diddy😂😂 jaguar wright/kat William have been telling the truth years earlier now the truth is catching up.
@@Nomelis thank you...time will tell.
@@acaciosramodike2115 liar and people calling her a G because she is a former crack head.
G for MacG yeah 😂
This is the first time hearing the state of how Anele was after falling and it literally gave me chills.
I had to rewind it 4 times😢
She had cigarette burns on her body also
@@nwlf1512oh no💔
@@nwlf1512So sad, I hope her story is well told
And that aka didn't go down there to see if she is ok. Yhoo! Did he at least call for emergency? This is heartbreaking
I love the fact that Sol was not interrupting her when she speaks 🎉😊great 1 Sol
I am glad Mac G wasn't here, He would be dwelling on the Hilbrow sex life than what we really need to hear...SOL KILLED THIS .... WELL DONE! BRILLIANT INTERVIEW, I LEARNED SOOO MUCH
Oh he did killed it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mag G is very immature
Leave Mac alone guys hawu 😂 They balance each other well, the serious friend & the humorous one but guess what? They’re both pivotal parts of the Pod
Lol bathong wena MacG is more the loud, fun and hilarious kind of interviewer and sol can be both. They are both great at what they do
I was about to post this as well. Maybe e was told to sit this one out.
Sol is the GOAT his line of questioning is so dope.
Line and dope😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sol is a GOAT 🐐 ❤
He is shame....
I think Ghosty really showed today that she is ready for Broadcasting... She has really grown over the years in front od our eyes. What a fantastic performance from these two today
The way she briefly explained Anele's last few minutes got me tearing up. It makes sense why her family was really really fighting to get this case reopened and properly investigated 😢
Me too 😢
My skin got the chills. I had goosebumps
I met this lady in rosebank she said exactly what she said to me almost word for word
Wow
She's well spoken. Great interview 🔥
She’s not, she’s a liar who’s paid ! lol
Ghost lady was on fire. She asked this woman very good questions.
Don't think so.
Sol is more objective.
Discrediting the lady is the highest level of stupidity. I appreciate her mentioning the fact that we idolise celebrities and many in the comment section suffer from idolising celebrities. Maybe be impartial and be open to all possibilities. She may not be correct on some facts but the crux of the matter remains and her comparison of AkA and Oscar is the golden jewel of the book. Our society is rotten to the core we can’t smell shit presented in our face
Well said. So much Celebrity Obsession Disorder in the comments. Even talented ppl are flawed. The amount of drugs flowing in the industry and unexplained happenings...Anything is possible inspite of how much one idolises a celebrity
Aka once broke a fan's phone for trying to take a picture of him and had the audacity to tweet about it
Sol’s Drip is impeccable. 🔥🔥🔥
KUFIWE WENA UBHIZY UBONA I DRIP🙁☹🤧
@@zakhelemlamuli6421 😂😂😂 Bruh, I couldn’t take this woman and her Biases seriously 😂
@@fulumukwevho4744 I THINK I LIKE HER. SHE DOESNT WANA CHOOSE SIDES. SHE WANTS TO STAND ALONE IN A THOUSAND
@fulumukwevho4744 now i found the part where she’s disgusting….. she can’t say Anele didn’t kill herself
@@zakhelemlamuli6421 bruh, this lady has confirmation bias, she’s completely ignoring things that contradict her theory and u also think it’s very disgusting that she’s trying to profit off double tragedy.
if Dudu made this happen, I appreciate her so much
Dudu is a real Mbhokodo,💥
Carte Blanch on Podcast and Chill AKA The Sol and Ghosty Show, Tuesdays at 3PM.
Make It Happen! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
I love that Melinda Ferguson is not defensive about her position on many issues.
Including her opinions and race.
She is composed and brave
I love that too. She did her job well
It feels like there is a layer of darkness in South Africa and from time to time someone is brave enough to look into the darkness and shine a light. We hope we can continue to see people shine a light!
True
Eswatini here. What a story from this author 🥹🥹🥹
This lady knows her story 🤞
@@rubberbutterfly1901 truly she does
Ngakuphi mnetfu
@@rubberbutterfly1901 she is just speculating
What story? She keeps saying, 'I think'. So it's just speculation like all of us do speculate. Like Sol stated , a of that is what is in the book is what is on social media.
When she said she doesn’t want to talk about Moses Tembe, it told me everything I needed to know.
She was “taken aback” by him distancing himself and his spokesperson saying he didn’t commission or contribute to the book.
Why was she taken aback? They probably agreed that he would at least admit to contributing to give the book validity and credibility. The more he denies, this lady will expose his role in the book 😂🤫👂
Great interview. She's not speculating. She did her research, conducted interviews with witnesses. She's not just thumb sucking. AKA had a dark personality. He had toxic traits from when he was dating Bonang &Zihle. We truly enable such toxic behaviour this is how we fail victims
Remember Aka once broke a fan's phone for trying to take a picture of him and he had the audacity to tweet about it
😅😅😅
@@lwethu9241Yeah I remember that incident and I was angry on behalf of that poor fan, the fame got him and as much as I liked him the boy was rude
I'm glad they did this episode. I'm also happy Melinda wrote this, it's basically a cautionary tale for all of us.
I'm glad they interviewed her,it makes sense to write a story about such tragedy and it's a valid book
This interview had to be done by Sol🙏🏾... Weldone
I love how real this woman is and I'm definitely buying the book. It's my first time seeing and hearing about her and I'm interested in her work already.
Salute to Sol, Ghost lady and the team for this spectacular episode. The editing is fire as well, well done team. 🙌
If being well spoken makes you real then we are in trouble.. Credibility like that requires a bit of more diligence
Sol and ghost really maturely murked this interview🎉🎉🎉.I applaud the space they've given her and allowed her chance to speak freely without interupt. Sol and ghost needs a platform for serious adulty topics
Honestly i love this author and i am not saying what she thinks its true or not but i love people who speaks there opinions,❤
Sol and Ghosty killing it here. Well informed cats. Please interview Gregory Wings guys, the US promoter of Burna Boy concert that flopped
I like this woman, she's my kind of people.
Read all of Melindas books. Her writing is impeccable. Cant wait to the read this one.
Sol you were amazing on this intervie🎉🎉. Well done bro. Still watching. Great questions asked and you made Melinda comfortable
These kinds of interviews deserve Sol sitting on that chair & asking the questions. Ghost lady was made for this. She knows when to come in and when to sit back. Beautiful work guys. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview.
She doesn’t clearly say it but I think she’s just a journalist! No need to justify why a journo decides to write a book or an inquest. As journalists we are passionate about seeking the truth. It’s the profession! Otherwise great interview, great questions and great insights into the tragic love story of AKA and Anele. The author is very objective. That’s a plus!
I can't wait for her second book on this. I hope she remains safe.
she was objective? she literally painting AkA as a monster, comparing him to Oscar and O.J to sell this narrative that he was guilty
@@hlelatuluma1494 Were you even listening?? What a stupid comment.
She's not objective. She clearly doesn't like AKA. And the fact that she says she sat down with Aneles' dad, clearly she's bound to feel sorry for a grieving parent. It would have been a fair representation if she had also sat down for a talk with AKA's dad.
She's literally not objective. She admits to it herself without realizing it.
A lot of y'all are concerned about Sols skills and less on the subject but Sol really asked the key questions which was fantastic great Job Patrick❤
Im downloading Twitter just to hear that Chris Excel and Nota has to say about this lady😅
With guests like this, Sol is a good host 🥂👌🏽
"In Mega we trust-trust-trust, until the finish" Megacy❤
I was sceptical to watch this episode, but wow what a beautiful one..
Just last night I was watching this lady's interview on ETv show " my guest Tonite"... She knows her story
This Podcast Is BIGGER than Mac G at this point... Today's episode has proven 🥚zactly that.👏🏾🔥
Blasphemy.
I disagree. Without Mac G the podcast is dead
Mac has said the same thing but I don't like what you insinuating.
I like the calmness of this interview, this white woman and the whole atmosphere here❤
Couldn't have found a better guest for Sol to interview. He handled it like the G he is
All Praises to the most high, The Father of the Heavens and the earth. Thank you God, Thank you Jesus❤
Shout out to Jesus❤️🔥
Melinda Ferguson is literally my favorite author ❤❤
This was a great interview, Melinda has always been ahead of the curve with regard to SA pop culture. Her writing at TL was so good. Also this interview needed to be longer
Mhm. This hit home so hard. Just last night Sun 28/04 just had a case of GBV and watching this interview bruised and broken after my partner/mother of my child (now ex) almost killed me.
I am glad I am now leaving the relationship which turned toxic over 11 years.
Every single thing @Melinda says here I’ve experienced. The drinking and substance abuse, the fighting, everything!
I hope it reaches more people who need to hear this and find a way out. IN TIME BEFORE IT GETS TOO LATE
Solomzy was the perfect person for this interview 💯
I concur
I was so scared to watch this and I have so questions but Sol and ghosty handled it,we need more of these sit downs and conversations in this podcast,well done team,you’ve outdone yourselves.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Our hearts go out to the Thembe and Forbes family. None of these individuals are here to speak for themselves. Hope One day both families could get the closure they need.
I enjoyed this interview so much!!! Argh, Melinda is such a beautiful soul, I absolutely loved her spirit, her personality, her energy and her story. I am loving the diversity of guests you guys are bringing onto the show. Absolutely here for this! Sol did a wonderful job with the interview, definitely missed McG.
But if you related to anele’s story because of addiction and suicidal attempts doesn’t that influence your opinion on what really happened. I have a huge problem with people thinking their opinions are facts. Also to say this is not for monetary gain is crazy. Also being able to sit with Moses several times but not extending the same grace to AKAs family by saying you don’t need permission to write a book because articles have been written without permission. This is not an article,this is a book and this case is still in trial. You’re pushing a narrative on people and it’s biased. None of this is factual
True, it's really Biased...
Finally somebody said it yohhh 🙏
She’s so biased!!!!
No one can wrote about book with all the facts because AKA cleaned up the crime scene 😂.
Well nowhere in this interview does she claim her statements are facts.
I won't lie, none that was said takes away from the fact Kiernan is our greatest MUSICIAN, man got like 5 or 6 CLASSIC TIMELESS projects
This is all her opinions they really mean nothing.....no research was done to come to the conclusions she has, she didn't give an answer when Sol asked her about research, so all this and her book mean nothing
@@nutty8089would you not count interviewing that guy who went to do mouth to mouth as research?
I will always love Kiernan, long live Supermega, live long. ❤❤❤
Celebrity obsession disorder.
Anele's death was sus tho
Sol allows Melinda to cover her points in depth , his follow-up questions unlocks more information for us. Great interview to say the least.
Melinda's courage to make her own study and share this story about a fatal love story, especially about such a controversial yet sensitive subject is admirable. My condolences and respects to the families of both AKA and Anele. ❤
Sol held it down. This was a perfect interview, it gives talk tv vibes.
Great work Solomzi and wishing Mac a speedy recovery!
AKA was a great patriot of South Africa and loved the culture he was Black also so please lets not entertain this notion of he exploited the black culture!!
u have that celebrity disorder that was being spoken about
Coloured people recognise themselves as a different race from black people. Aka was coloured bro.
@@lesolk people will always be different can't just blanket it like that while the evidence is there when it comes to AKA just look at his surroundings the people he spent time with all his life the music and if course the culture. Stop this nonsense.
He was not black. He was coloured.
You completely missed this ladies point
Sol!! Your interview was absolutely amazing….you held her accountable, you had a listening ear, you introduced new schools of thought to the conversation. You just held it down. Ghost lady was just impeccable as well as a cohost. [edit] I’m a huge AKA fan, but I like the conversation Melinda is bringing forth even though I don’t share all her sentiments. Great job guys
Wow, what an amazing interview. I need to read this book. Melinda has such a cool, calm and collected attitude, and Sol killed this as the interviewer! He's definitely suited for serious chats
I'm oupa glad this interview happened with Sol - great comeback questions!
One can just see that Sol is an avid reader, so well spoken as well.
An avid reader who cannot finish a book - don’t be dumb
He wanted to know which chapter is key in the book
@@DanielMathebula-kq9tb “Don’t be dump” shuuu I wouldn’t say that to someone, but thanks for the enlightenment Sir.
This feels like Melinda is settling some score with the Forbes, particularly Lynn. Reference to the project that didn’t materialize which they both were working on. Just an opinion
Exactly…. You can tell that she is siding with the Tembes and she has found Aka guilty without evidence, her information is based on hearsay and she’s here to get Lynn not Aka
@@AsaMPodcast I do not think so. The videos, the smoke burn marks on her dead body needs explanation. Him waiting it out instead of seeking for help there. She has raised great perspective regardless of personal issues
@jabulilenenzhelele2179 A suidal person can inflict harm on themselves.. unless she reported it to the police, we cannot conclude it was AKA until her mental state was fully explored..
SOL bro you're talented, don't limit yourself, spread your wings, you and Ghosty handled this interview very well.
