Episode 3 - Prof Phillip Tobias
At last I got to
see Journey to the Core -
Congratulations, Mazeltov etc
etc – I love it, a great
programme and what a lovely old
man Prof Tobias is. I could
spend hours listening to him. I
loved the glint in his student’s
eyes when they talked to him /
listened to him and /or talked
about him! He is clearly very
well loved. Michael

Self help books, I have read
them all. Watching the last
episode, just moved me to a
place I can't fully express in
words alone. I had been going
through a personal crisis when
the show first came on and three
episodes after, my breakthrough
came. Realisation, need for
action and integrity are what I
take weekly from the show. Prof
Tobias is truly an amazing man,
I went and read up on his
research and boy was I blown
away. Truly is a blessing to be
an African in Africa.

The whole
world is aching for good news,
for heroes. Everyone needs a
hero and here, sensitively and
elegantly, you bring us the
unsung heroes, the people in
this chaotic and harsh world,
who with their dedication and
their passion, lift the load and
show the way. I salute you!
You’re a team doing and exposing
a rewarding and vital subject.

Watched your program last week
and it was awesome. Everything
looked well thought out and the
pieces just flowed so
wonderfully together. Looking
forward to the next one.

As one of the many
privileged students to have been
at the receiving end of Prof
Tobias’ riveting lectures, I was
thrilled to be reminded once
again of the incredible stature
of this true South African icon.
He is every bit as humble as he
is accomplished. You could not
have found a person of better
integrity to profile on your
superb series. Thank you for a
wonderful show that was out of
this world!

MESSAGE FROM
PROF PHILLIP TOBIAS |
It
was an unusual privilege to have
been invited to participate in
“Journey to the Core”. This is
an example of a rather rare
programme which takes the viewer
and listener beyond the surface
with its all too frequent
superficialities, probing deeply
into the heart and soul of those
taking part.
There is so much to digest and
appreciate in each programme,
that I feel sure that many
viewers would welcome the
opportunity to see a further
series of these uplifting
programmes.
I warmly support the proposal
that “Journey to the Core” be
given a second series as well as
a rerun of the first series by
the SABC.
Its educational content and
spiritual underpinning will be
of immense value to those who
missed it on the first time
around – and even to those who
would like to view it for a
second flighting. With warm
personal regards, Phillip
Tobias.

I was sceptical about
what I could possible learn from
the "academic" Professor Tobias
but was pleasantly surprised.
Thank you. And as much as Prof
Tobias opened my mind to a few
new ideas I became very aware
that I was also watching a very
good piece of TV journalism that
satisfied my hunger for things
spiritual while stimulating me
on an intellectual level as
well. Finally we are able to be
inspired by the many great South
Africans in our country. For too
long we have had to watch Oprah
and Dr Phil for "inspiration".
Thank you for bringing our own
stories to life and may there be
many more!!! Well done to all
involved.

Professor Tobias’ episode was
outstanding! Our whole family
loved it. I knew him, but it was
nice to see this personal side
of him that is so gentle and
sincere. Lorato Scherpenhuyzen
Thank you for a happy escape
each week and a big ‘well done’
to the SABC for showcasing this
important topic.

Professor Tobias has been
an inspiration to three
generations of my family - it
was a delight to share his
personal journey and to get to
know him better.
