Any man and woman who calls out the double standards of media, civic organization and commentators who called out former Pres. Zuma but duck and hide when its time to call out the current president I will take my two minutes to listen to. Dr Boesak has put in some solid facts and we have to commend him for that brave voice.
The man is my role model even when he was prosecuted for the crimes of fraud he served time for his wrongs and nevet pretended to be sick like other leaders who dont want to own up to their crimes . I love you Dr Boesak ❤
I am indeed in awe everytime. I have the honor to listen to Dr Boesak, a man of integrity, something our present government do not have in their vocabulary. I will stay a follower of Dr Boesak
Shame I feel sorry for this man - he still has a utopian pipe dream for South Africa. Is he not fully aware of the corrupt politicians and the great racial divide. Sadly, the anc has hung him out to dry - why have they even sent him to prison when he helped them.
This is why we need podcasts. The freedom to speak freely and answer all questions to one's satisfaction. This takes me back to the early 90s at UWC. Fiery Rev. Always
Dr Boesak was treated abominably. He still has the capacity to go to the root of the problem. He has the respect of the rank and file of ordinary South African citizens. Something majority of ANC leaders no longer have.
Wow! What a fresh vibrant interview. Don't totally agree with him with regards the Ukraine 🇺🇦, however, It was wonderful listening to Dr.Rev Alan B after so many years. Yeah! Those UDF years was amazing 🎶🎵
Dr Boesak what you have done for this country and the fall of aparheid stuugle then the anc throw you in jail for that one mishap then they do not deserve you
Boesak talks nothing about his own people the coloureds who vorted for the ANC in 1994 who are oppressed by the same ANC. Why did you mentioned this to the ANC Boesak
Does he need to? All hos life was about taking their issues up but what happened in 1994 and continies to happen in the Western Cape? Zapiro even had a damning caricature about the 1994 general election outcome in the Western Cape. Go read what Hernus Kroel and Izack De Villiers said about coloured people who by the way returned the National Party to power in 1994 because they followed Pieter Marais, Gerald Morkel etc. A people who have suffered longer than most under white supremacy and are still suffering under it who then reward their oppressors with the power to continue their oppression. Please make clear distinctions about issues so it doesn't get muddled with other issues.
An ex colleague of mine was a direct beneficiary of the fraud case Dr Boesak was a sacrificial lamb for. He (ex colleague) and others in ANC used funds for advancement of the liberation in SA. Governance and control systems were weak, but then again we were in a war, how on earth will you account for monies (and produce receipts) for people who went underground to join ANC (that was banned)? I think he was given a 15 jail sentence but was granted a presidential pardon. He spent less than 3 years in prison. ANC and it's government failed Dr Boesak. It lacked testicular fortitude and did not defend it's own. But then again, the same ANC under UDF, campaigned for Winnie Mandela to be sidelined in the ANC because of the accusation of the Stompie matter. ANC is rotten to the core. It's hopes for renewal were pinned on Ramaphosa. Lo behold, the very same thing it did in not having Zuma be held accountable over the Nkandla matter, it repeated the same over the Cryil Phala-phala matter. ANC is dead!
Mr Boesak history repeats itself time and again!!! From the start of the ANC there was a handful counted and the rest like yourself was needed for their votes, you paid a heavy price for your stupidity so Don't blame others for your mistakes, you had and so every body else had choices in life and all you have to do is to admit you made the wrong ones, I think.
EVEN WHEN HE WAS JAILED WE ALL KNEW THAT MONEY WENT TO THE ANC AND RELATED ORGANIZATIONS HE IS JUST A TRUE LEADER VIVA ALLAN BOESAK VIVA FROM BELLVILLE SOUTH
All along I thought that Boesak was arrested for money stolen from government. Only to find out that he was arrested for money from past when it used for struggle
Boesak's letter that he wrote explaining why he would not be celebrating 40 years is, arguably, one of the most beautiful works that I have had the pleasure of reading.
The Rev indeed,thanks for teaching us about Black theology and fully support him in not going to that factional UDF anniversary,hypocrats of ramadollar must be exposed for destroying the rule of law in S.A.
The only gift I'm asking for on Women's month is to meet Mr Boesak and tell me more about happened where did it went wrong please assist me how to communicate with him please
@normanmeubel4567 That doesn't sound civil at all, in fact that sounds very racist coming from a white man implying that a black man needs a skin lighter. You people should learn to think before you speak. Hou op om julleself soos Kinders gedra man. Is glad nie nodig nie jerrr
Can Boesak explain to the people of South Africa what justice he fought for? Consider the lawlessness in our country, crime, oppression, human rights abuse, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, murderers, rape, never ending list. Where is the Church, what is their function in this sick country, why are the church silent at this stage while they had a lot to say above the previous regime????? Can you PLEASE explain, why you allowd foreign religions to enter our country, was this the intention of the church misleading the people of South Africa!!! It seems to be the case!!!
How? By not kowtowing to the minority narrative? Most of us understand this man because we bare the brunt of UDF and later ANC leadership betrayal of the black majority, they'll shall reap what they sowed
of course he starts by telling us not to believe wikipedia. these are facts though, verifiable facts: After a three-month investigation, the Johannesburg law firm issued a 600-page report damning of Boesak's conduct. Boesak, the report said, had 'enriched himself substantially' by diverting funds to buy a luxury house and to pay for an inflated salary, vacations, his second wedding and his new wife's business debts. Only a quarter of the foundation's income had gone to projects intended by Scandinavian donors to help apartheid victims. Boesak's response was to deny all responsibility, to blame his staff and to claim that he was a victim of racism.[17] It was at the start of this trial that the phrase "struggle bookkeeping" was coined.[18] The term was used to justify struggle icons' use and abuse of international donor funding for private purposes.[18]
What’s the point of apartheid “ended” means if a land reform is not done. 90% of the land is still controlled in a white minority hand. How can you have justice for the native South Africans when someone else’s still in charge of the land. We all know ownership of the land is important why it’s not discussed?
Just remember that every person black, coloured, Indian, white, and everything in between, who is and was born in South Africa is a “native” of South Africa. Anywhere in the world if you want land you have to buy it. If the majority of the land is owned by white people it’s because they paid for it. So get off your p0eph01 and go w0§k.
If you have a PHD you have a Doctorate degree. Thats Dr Boesak qualifications which he earned - it's not a fake PHD like some people buy via the back door.That title remains with you. Anyone however can insist to be address by his first name if he so wish and not by his title.
Why are you disgruntled against the man, is he not a Dr, if your answer is yes i know to which camp do you belong, albeit the case, such a hatred is uncalled for.
You could be under the impression that only a MD's ( Medical Doctor ) are called Doctor - A medical degree is a vocational degree ( like a teaching degree ) and is not equivalent - but below a PHD ( Doctorate ) degree .Any person who obtained his PHD studied for many years- 1st Bachelors, Honours, Master and finally PHD - which is called a Doctor of Philosophy . The reason people with PHD qualifications are called DR - its an academic qualification and title. A PHD is a research qualification( Dr Boesaks was theology) that represents the pinnacle of academic qualification. . With this qualification people are refered to academics and you find most are lectures at universities - they also employed in the private sector . MD- Medical Doctor who study to PHD level and who are employed at universities are called professor who teach medical students . Although Dr Boessk is a reverend- he obtained the academic title Dr. When you have a PHD and you employed fulltime at a university you are called a professor. If you not employed fulltime but lecture at the university you called DR.
Phala-phala. It will forever be an Albatros around Ramaphosa administration. My the way Thabo Mbeki made the very same remarks. Thabo Mbeki actually wrote a letter to DP Paul Mashatile about how ANC had dealt with Phala-phala matter in how it defend Ramaphosa from accounting to parliament over the same letter. Letter by Mbeki was very scathing. Google it.
Why on earth would you be against the brave plans of the Coalition Movement who has only the well being of South Africans in mind? I would have liked his strong presence there!!
I am indeed in awe everytime. I have the honor to listen to Dr Boesak, a man of integrity, something our present government do not have in their vocabulary. I will stay a follower of Dr Boesak

Provide your evidence
Dr Allan, we need to acknowledge and accept that our original ANC that we joined some years ago is dead and buried.
My ever due respect.

Spot on..... what they wanted.
AWESOME TO HEAR A TRUE MAN. THANKS, DR BOESAK.
He talk the truth
Like Mugabe
He pay his dues you can call him anything but he remains Allen Boesak the front of the UDF 🎉
I remember all those children who were buried,wow a pure leader never forgets the struggle 🎉🎉🎉🎉

i loved this interview - i have immense respect for Dr Boesak both as a Theologian and Political Activist - want to hear more
Dr.Boesak will always be known for his leadership in the udf. We shall overcome some day.

What Dr. Boesak said about Ukraine is the truth. What is your truth?
What is the basis for your disagreeing with Dr said about Ukraine?
@@sizamnce I'm not disagreeing with Dr Boesak. He accurately describes the lead up to the Russian action. I was responding to @explore.365
Finally someone with stature speaks the truth about situation in Ukraine
Dr Alan Boesak , you are my Wife's age. I am 83 .it nice to see you after all these years🎉
Dr Boesak what you have done for this country and the fall of aparheid stuugle then the anc throw you in jail for that one mishap then they do not deserve you
Dr Allan Beosak is a man of integrity and honesty, we need more of him in the mainstream media
Boesak talks nothing about his own people the coloureds who vorted for the ANC in 1994 who are oppressed by the same ANC.

Mzwndile running out of time when the Doc is telling the hidden truth
Boesak for president. He is a real threat to the ANC period. With the right resources he will move mountains.
He led from the front.
Dr Boesak is a great leader and we need him in the ANC. Comrades lobby him back. We need him.
Trusted leader of our land...

So he knew nothing about his and others funds in his bank account that Freddie stole?
We remember then, a period when tribalism was not even in our struggle. I remember 1985 in Cradock where President declared 1985 the war of the Cadre.
DR ALLAN BOESAK IS A TRUE LEADER I WILL VOTE FOR HIM ANYTIME AND MOTIVATE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR HIM ALL THE WAY FROM BELLVILLE VIVA ALLAN BOESAK VIVA.
EVEN WHEN HE WAS JAILED WE ALL KNEW THAT MONEY WENT TO THE ANC AND RELATED ORGANIZATIONS HE IS JUST A TRUE LEADER VIVA ALLAN BOESAK VIVA FROM BELLVILLE SOUTH
Hi Dr Boesak I wish and looking forward to seeing you ONE DAY IN PORT ELIZABETH SOON.
THE HOPE OF OUR NATION.
THE TRUTH WILL HURT!❤❤
Mugabe was truth
If charisma was a person, Allan Boesak has all. Pity he's off the rails for whatever reason.
Dr Boesak u r too honest with intergrity The A N C dont want people like u I salute u
You want Mugabe
All along I thought that Boesak was arrested for money stolen from government. Only to find out that he was arrested for money from past when it used for struggle
He is no traitor, most UDF members is traitors
Why he dont stand up for his oppressed Coloured people by the ANC and EFF
Boesak's letter that he wrote explaining why he would not be celebrating 40 years is, arguably, one of the most beautiful works that I have had the pleasure of reading.
ANC BEYOND REDEMPTION
I am concerned that the liberation theologians is now a bit quiet when it comes to the Ramaphosa Era.
One has to assume The New South Africa is a going concern, a huge success, no one knows the church ministers anymore. Everything's hunky dory 😢
The Rev indeed,thanks for teaching us about Black theology and fully support him in not going to that factional UDF anniversary,hypocrats of ramadollar must be exposed for destroying the rule of law in S.A.
Dr Boesak must join EFF finish and klaar 😂 man
Phew - now at least the donation box funds may be safe ?
SA loves their old.leaders too much make space foe the young
We did. It was better years ago
We need to respect them, by moving them to the side and take the country since they won't give it to us
@@fanamlawuli6761
Which country are you talking about again?
A liar a thief etc
He was sent to jail for his misdemeanor. Today the ANC cadres are stealing billions. And nothing has happened to them and their children!
@@ronalddippenaar2381 he was stupid enough to get caught before he could get at the big bucks or the cadres did not like him or both
Boesak knows the trouble that follows Ms Victoria Newland - why was she in South Africa?
Very refreshing to hear such clarity
He has never been satisfied about anything unless it suits him & his personal agenda!
Really which country are you from?
Zimbabwe is free
Of tellgram
We are doomed in the Rainbow nation.
He looks young 😊
This chap mr mbetshe is uncomfortable
The only gift I'm asking for on Women's month is to meet Mr Boesak and tell me more about happened where did it went wrong please assist me how to communicate with him please
Ramaphosa is a beach that has dichubaba,i would love to sell him a 20 litre ambi skin enlightening cream for just r10.

No sense on media give ur talk what do u do current situation 😮
People like this destroyed South Africa
How? By not kowtowing to the minority narrative? Most of us understand this man because we bare the brunt of UDF and later ANC leadership betrayal of the black majority, they'll shall reap what they sowed
Please study the struggle history before commenting!
@@ronalddippenaar2381There's nothing to be " studied ". The proof is for all to see. A total collapse of a fine country.
He destroyed the apartheid SA you're have nolstagia about
We share a Birthday ❤🎉
This much you can say - he is original in his manipulstions of the money matters
that is where we go wrong, peope who were inconvinient were prosecuted, because there was a power struggle inside the ANC.
of course he starts by telling us not to believe wikipedia. these are facts though, verifiable facts:

Why not join the Moonshot pack
Made enough money through "struggle economics" rev? 😉
