Gayton McKenzie: From a prisoner in chains to a popular politician to a possible president…
Update: 2024-12-13
Description
At the end of a dramatic election year, Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie gives BizNews an insider’s view of the Government of National Unity (GNU) and its future - and reminds viewers of what an alternative government with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and MKP would be like right now. He speaks candidly about his relationships with some of the country’s top leaders and politicians, including President Cyril Ramaphosa, Democratic Alliance (DA) Federal Chair Helen Zille, and African National Congress (ANC) Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi. His mantra is one of “country first, party second”, but he is hugely proud of his Patriotic Alliance (PA) being the fastest growing party with three by-election wins in a row. The Minister also shares his plans for bringing some of the world’s top sporting events to South Africa. Lastly, the former prisoner - who has been voted the third most popular politician in the country and whose army of supporters on social media wants to see him as South Africa’s next president - leaves the nation with a deeply inspirational message for the festive season.
