Minister Gayton McKenzie has firmly rejected allegations of racism, stating he has “never in [his] entire life” used the k-word. Addressing the controversy head-on, McKenzie dismissed the claims as baseless and politically motivated.
He believes the accusations are part of a deliberate smear campaign orchestrated by the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), aimed at damaging his reputation and credibility. McKenzie maintained that he stands against all forms of racism and refuses to be dragged into what he described as manufactured political drama.
With tensions running high in the political arena, McKenzie’s denial adds another layer to an already heated discourse—one that continues to test the boundaries between political rivalry and personal integrity.
