The Party People hitmaker focused on the podcast hosts and gave Sifiso his flowers for apologising to Sizwe Alakine instead of justifying himself, unlike Thakgi. He said:

PAY ATTENTION: Briefly News is now on YouTube! Check out our interviews on Briefly TV Life now!

“Sifiso is older, he knew better at that point to apologise. Also, because he’s in the industry (not as an influencer) so he knows how hard it is to move in these streets and he opted to rectify his wrongs. Only he knows why he even said the things he said about Sizwe Alakine in the first place. Age should buy you maturity, and he showed maturity by apologising and not #TryingToExplainAndJustifyBullshit”

He added that he and Sizwe Alakine grew up in Vosloorus and were taught, from an early age, that speaking recklessly had consequences.

The Goodbye producer also disclosed his desire to mentor Thakgi.

“One day I wanna sit down with Thakgi and talk sense into him. We love to see growth but it must be nurtured and guided,” he said.

"Lol, I remember when Mandoza confronted Mr Selwyn during his interview on 'Seli Mathunzi'😭😭😂😂😂"
