He shares what it was like performing during apartheid, when the band wasn't allowed to mingle with audiences and had to get dressed in the kitchen alongside the workers before stepping on stage. A powerful, personal story of talent, resilience and the moment that left him humbled and lost for words.

Kenneth doesn't set out to be controversial, but he isn't afraid of the tough topics either. He unpacks whether we've become overly sensitive as a nation, what the conversations around Leon Schuster say about us, and his take on Trevor Noah's rise to global fame. He also reflects on why he loves South Africa's democracy precisely because it's so loud, why everyone having an opinion is a good thing, and a simple truth about life: people are born and people die. So what should we do? Stop loving? Funny, thoughtful and very Mzansi. Press play and join the conversation.
