Elon Musk & Farmer Genocide...Does he really care?

"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.

Creativity is a muscle | Dr Musaed Abrahams & Riaad Moosa

Creativity is healing, but can it also be a business? In this episode of The Best Medicine, I talk to Dr. Musaed Abrahams, a doctor who walked the unconventional path, exploring digital health, wellness, and his own creative instincts. We dive into the psychology of taking risks, the power of storytelling in medicine and comedy, and how childhood interests shape adult careers. Plus, we reflect on family expectations, personal reinvention, and whether the ‘normal path’ is ever enough. This episode is about following instincts, challenging norms, and embracing your creative side—wherever it may lead.

KG Mokgadi weighing in | The Best Medicine Podcast

What happens when a comedian publicly declares war on his own weight? In this episode, I chat with KG Mokgadi about his newfound “Rocky vibes” for 2025—walking, gyming, and trying to avoid the seductive call of McDonald’s hash browns. We talk about the absurdity of New Year fitness resolutions, why Ozempic might show up on street corners soon, and how food, stress, and even relationships play into weight struggles. We also dig into his stand-up process, his love for performing across Africa, and his goal of becoming the Lenny Kravitz of comedy. Come for the laughs, stay for the wisdom (and maybe rethink your gym membership).

9. Treating Palestine-Israel Like a Patient - Part 1

The Palestine Israel situation is heart breaking. The things that I've seen on video are so unbelievably cruel, nightmarish and evil that it's almost inconceivable that this type of thing can still be allowed to happen in 2023. I'd like to express my thoughts, but I'd like take a SOLUTION-orientated approach. This podcast is about finding solutions to problems and finding some comedy along the way...I'm not sure how much comedy I'll find... but I'm going to tackle this from an unusual angle. I'm going to treat this whole Palestine-Israel issue like a multisystem disease...like a doctor. Look at the whole situation like my patient. I'm going to discuss the presenting complaint, take a history, offer a differential diagnosis, do an examination, special investigations, more detailed diagnoses and finally offer a management plan. Hopefully by the end of this we can find the healthiest way to approach this seemingly insurmountable problem, using the principles of medicine, health and wellness. We are all part of humanity, and I believe that is where the solution lies... This is part one...
