The GL (which is of course a more important measurement than GI as it takes into account the quality and quantity of the food consumed) of Mealie Meal is quite low.
Basically anything with a GL below 55 is considered low.
140g ( 1 cup) of Mealie Meal when cooled, has a GL of 23. When hot it is 35. Thats pretty low.
But a cup of Jungle Oats (the original), when cooked, only has a GL of 14 which is considerably lower still.
1 cup of Old Millstream Brown Rice has a GL of 16
A medium sized baked potato has a GL of 18
So to answer your question, pap has a slightly higher GL than the other basic starches, but is still low.
Anyway, if DJ endorses it, it's good enough for me.

There is a taxi rank here in Bryanston that makes pap and steak for 25 bucks. Since DJ convinced me about pap, I get it at least 2 x week now for lunch. 
A huge piece of grilled steak, pap, and the most awesome chili gravy.
I can never chow all the pap though, it's too much.
Now everyone in the office is buying it as well.
Pap and vleis, one of South Africa's best institutions!

To subdue another tribe, you must strike it once and for all. Total war, total subjugation to the paramount king and total destruction to anyone who raises even a whisper against him! Never leave an enemy behind or it will rise again to fly at your throat! There's no other way!

I know what you're talking about.
