In today’s world, political debates no longer belong solely to TV studios and press rooms.
They’re happening just as loudly on YouTube channels, TikTok reels, and podcasts — and one voice that’s cutting through the noise in South Africa is Katlego Moagi.
Known for her hard-hitting political commentary on her channel Citizen Concerned, she’s quickly become one of the most fearless critics of corruption, poor governance, and public manipulation.
And now, she’s turned her attention to a new controversial figure: American psychologist and self-styled Pan-Africanist, Dr Umar Johnson.
A Clash of Voices as Johnson Visits South Africa
Last month, Johnson landed in South Africa at the invitation of the MK (uMkhonto weSizwe) Party to deliver a string of youth-focused lectures.
But his appearance sparked immediate backlash — especially from Moagi, who uploaded a fiery response video dissecting his rhetoric point by point.
In typical no-holds-barred fashion, she slammed his speeches as divisive, harmful, and out of touch with South Africa’s real issues.
Moagi Calls Out What She Sees as Racist Rhetoric
In one part of her video, Moagi introduces Dr Johnson bluntly:
“This is Umar Johnson, a racist from America.
He’s an MK fan, supporting MK party lies… these are the people our youth are being told to look up to?”
She didn’t hold back. From the very start, she positioned Johnson’s words as not just unhelpful — but dangerous.
Empty Seats and Scrolling Phones
Moagi also poked fun at the crowd at one of Johnson’s recent Pan-Africanism lectures.
She noted that many attendees looked more interested in their phones or snapping selfies than listening to him preach about global wars and supposed post-apartheid oppression.
“I wonder what he gets paid to fly all the way here and say this nonsense,” she quipped.
Who’s Really to Blame for South Africa’s Problems?
One of Johnson’s core messages is that white oppression still dominates post-apartheid South Africa. Moagi wasn’t buying it.
She responded with visible frustration, asking why Johnson was blaming white people when the ANC has failed to deliver proper classrooms and basic services for the country’s youth.
“He’s pointing fingers at white people while our kids are stuck in broken schools built by a corrupt government. Whose fault is that?”
Moagi Demands Specifics from Johnson’s Rants
As Johnson made sweeping statements like “white people think the world belongs to them,” Moagi wasn’t having it.
She challenged his generalisations with sharp sarcasm:
“Which white people exactly? The ones I see begging at the malls or working odd jobs to survive?”
Her point was clear — it’s easy to generalise from a distance, but the reality on the ground doesn’t always match imported ideologies.
The Enemy Isn’t a Race — It’s Corruption
Moagi believes that focusing on race diverts attention from the true culprits: mismanagement and greed.
“People are not your enemies because of their colour. They’re your enemies because of what they do.
This man wants to recruit people into his own racism — and that’s not what South Africa needs.”
She argued that the ANC and its offshoots like MK are the ones failing citizens, not some imaginary international conspiracy.
“Fix Your Own House First”
In perhaps her most scathing moment, Moagi turned the mirror back on Johnson’s home country.
“Go back home and deal with your own gang culture, your broken communities.
Don’t come here trying to export your propaganda.”
She reminded viewers that the chaos in South Africa isn’t being driven by foreign powers, but by local politicians and elites abusing their positions for personal gain.
Moagi Schools Johnson on South African Mineral Rights
When Johnson declared that South Africa’s minerals “don’t belong to us,” Moagi fact-checked him immediately.
“Someone tell this American fool — the minerals do belong to us.
They’re owned by the state. That’s the law. You can’t just dig them up even if the land is yours.”
What South Africa Needs Right Now
As she closed out her video, Moagi left viewers with a powerful message:
“Our country doesn’t need more division. It needs unity. It needs peace — not imported hatred.
And we definitely don’t need this man speaking to our children.”
For her, the danger isn’t just in what Johnson says — it’s in the idea that people like him are being given platforms to influence young minds at all.
Whose Side Are You On?
The debate is heating up. Katlego Moagi vs. Dr Umar Johnson isn’t just about two personalities — it’s about what kind of future South Africa is building.
So what do you think? Do you stand with Moagi’s call for accountability and unity? Or do you see value in Johnson’s pan-African perspective?
