Episode 80: Ushu Mukelo: Witchcraft, Vaccines, and South African Struggles

from What A Week! · host WHAT A WEEK! PODCAST

Episode 80 of What a Week! sits down with Ushu Mukelo, a Congolese brother dropping truth bombs from Scranton. We dive into African witchcraft—think healing broken legs with shadow rituals, not evil curses—and why it’s like advanced medicine in remote villages. Ushu schools us on COVID vaccine hype (spoiler: it’s not Tylenol), South Africa’s messy land fights (white farmers targeted, but it’s nuanced), and how processed foods wreck kids’ gut biomes, fueling anxiety. From Ethiopian Bible lore to Uganda land deals, we unpack tribalism, resilience, and MAHA’s call for fresh, whole foods. Join us for real talk and a plan to barbecue a goat! #WhatAWeek #MAHA #ScrantonVibes
