McKenzie and his deputy, Kenny Kunene, are avid fans of the sport, and Kunene has the scars to show for it.

Patriotic Alliance leader and Minister of Sport, Arts and Recreation Gayton McKenzie may have not been given the Home Affairs or Police portfolios, but he is happy to replace his predecessor Zizi Kodwa. Although “Abahambe” became the party’s tagline during the elections when he called for the mass deportation of undocumented foreigners, the Sports, Arts and Culture Ministry was also in his sights, said McKenzie.
“Many people will not understand. We wanted Home Affairs or Police Ministry, but the true followers will know we also wanted Sports. I told the ANC about sports off the record during the negotiations,” said McKenzie.“I’m a sports person. I love sports, I follow sports,” said McKenzie.“I’m passionate about sports and I also know about the discrimination against poor people with indigenous sports – people in the villages,” he said.
Things are happening already, congratulations 2 both ladies,we wanna assure South Africans that we will not be a Ministry that will be content with congratulating artist and creatives only but will go out and unearth more Tyla’s & Makhadzi’s , help us find more furure super stars“I have contacts in the world when it comes to sport. I believe a child in sports is a child out of court. We will listen to your ideas and you will see the difference we will make.
