Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie is standing firm in defense of his longtime ally, Kenny Kunene, insisting on his complete innocence amid growing public scrutiny and controversy.
McKenzie has made it clear that the situation has not only stirred public debate but has also taken a deep emotional toll on Kunene himself—something he says the public often overlooks in the court of opinion.
“This is more than politics,” McKenzie stated. “This is a man who’s being torn apart emotionally over something he didn’t do. His character is being attacked, and it’s affecting him on a personal level.”
While details surrounding the matter remain under intense media and public focus, McKenzie’s unwavering loyalty suggests a calculated and heartfelt defense strategy—aimed at both protecting his comrade and challenging what he views as unfair treatment in the spotlight.
In an era where political allies often turn on each other at the first sign of trouble, McKenzie’s vocal and emotional support for Kunene is a rare show of political brotherhood—and one that may have ripple effects across the South African political scene.
