Who was Eusebius McKaiser?

Eusebius McKaiser was a South African political analyst, journalist, and broadcaster. He has contributed to publications such as the Mail & Guardian, Sunday Times, Foreign Policy, Guardian, New York Times, and Business Day, where he penned a weekly column. He rose to fame as the anchor of the Radio 702 discussion show and authored three books about South African politics and society.

Education:

In a colored township in Grahamstown, Cape Province, where his working-class family resided, Eusebius McKaiser was born on March 28, 1978. He went to Graeme College, where he graduated in 1996, and St. Mary’s Primary School.

He started attending Rhodes University in 1997 and earned a bachelor’s degree in law and philosophy, an honors degree, and a master’s degree in philosophy in 2003 with a thesis on moral objectivity. He did so with distinction. He received a Rhodes Scholarship to attend the University of Oxford from 2005 to 2006.

While there, he worked with Ralph Wedgwood and John Broome on a doctoral project in moral philosophy that he never finished. He was a scholar from the Oppenheimer Memorial Trust.

Career:

By 2012, McKaiser was a political and social analyst at the Wits Centre for Ethics and the University of Johannesburg Centre for the Study of Democracy. He had previously worked as an associate consultant for McKinsey & Company. Politics and Morality, a once-a-week late-night conversation show, was the first radio program he hosted on Radio 702.

Up until 2011, he served as the host of SABC 3’s current affairs program Interface. He afterwards served as the weeknight anchor of 702’s Talk@9 show. He started as the host of Power Talk, a three-hour weekday morning talk show, when Power FM debuted on June 18, 2013.

He departed Power FM in October 2014, allegedly due to irreconcilable differences with the station, and returned to Radio 702 in July 2016, replacing Redi Thlabi with a weekday morning chat show. The Mail & Guardian claims that by 2013, McKaiser had “etched himself on the national psyche” thanks to his radio work. Later, Pumla Dineo Gqola claimed that his morning program on 702, the Eusebius McKaiser Show, “shaped everyday dialogue and, with it, the culture of our time,” and praised McKaiser’s “heartbreaking, illuminating, and often joyful intellectual work.”

Due to the station’s lack of readiness to commit sufficient resources to the production of his show, McKaiser resigned from Radio 702 in June 2020. Later, he was the host of the In the Ring podcast and the Cover to Cover show for Exclusive Books on YouTube.
