"The thing about racist is that you have to believe that you are smarter.
To to be racist, you must believe that you are smarter and God loves you more
You have to be religious but also believe that God has favourites." - KG Mokgadi
In this episode of The Best Medicine, Dr. Riaad Moosa is joined by comedian KG Mokgadi and Doctor Musaed Abrahams for a thought-provoking and hilarious conversation about the recent wave of racism surfacing on social media. They unpack the bizarre narrative pushed by AfriForum, Elon Musk, and even the U.S. government about so-called “140+ race based laws” in South Africa. Riaad also reflects on his Twitter feud with Olympic swimmer Roland Schoeman and the role of propaganda in shaping public perception.
KG shares his unique perspective on why racism is ultimately a tool of the super-wealthy to manipulate people, and the two discuss how these narratives play out geopolitically. They also explore the importance of a strong military for Africa, the absurdity of “white genocide” claims, and how South Africa keeps moving forward despite the noise.
On a lighter note, KG gives an update on his fitness journey, Riaad tests out AI-generated jokes, and they both dive into the comedic process—how finding the right details can make a joke truly resonate.
Plus, Riaad shares details about his upcoming show What’s the Point?, running in Johannesburg after Ramadan. Get your tickets at Webtickets (avoid scalpers!), support the podcast on Patreon, and enjoy this deep yet entertaining conversation.
