Minister Gayton McKenzie has come out swinging against his political opponents, rejecting racism allegations and accusing his critics of a targeted campaign to bring him down. “Half my family is black, I can’t be racist,” he declared, pushing back against the storm of claims made against him.
He directly named ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba and EFF leader Julius Malema, saying, “Mashaba and Malema want my blood, but they won’t get it.” McKenzie suggested that the accusations are less about truth and more about political warfare—an attempt to silence or discredit him amid ongoing tensions.
His defiant remarks have added fuel to an already intense political climate, with debates over identity, race, and leadership taking centre stage.
