[@bevturner2258]

This “fact check” on Gayton McKenzie is a very good example of how to lead a viewer by tone and dismissive attitude. The way in which the facts were presented suggested that we would indeed be surprised if any donations had materialised. Seems that your suspicions were unfounded Rebecca! Well done to Gayton McKenzie!

[@sibongakonkedludla9540]

😂 weirdly happy about this report, he's given away approximately R170k to two organisations that would have not been able to secure that funding otherwise and besides the bold statement about giving 100% of his salary to a single organization during a emotional time for the nation with the news reports around a missing child who has not been found makes him sound like a shoot for the moon land on a couple of stars guy so I'm in for it. P.S: I'm bias cause I voted for the guy 😂

[@borneyalexander8673]

From my side, I really believe and think he means what he says about donating his salary to different charities in the country. As mentioned in the clip, it takes time to set up NGOs in the country, which could be one of many delays. For me, his heart and soul are for all South Africans, no matter who you are. No one expects him to be perfect, but his goal is to make SA a better country for all of us. I would suggest giving it more time. ♥

[@nelienepillay4534]

Show us one president in the last 15 years have stepped up to what he as done in two months. He is a man that gives when he sees how urgent the need is.like in a house we may need electricity but if water gets cut we have to use the money there first

[@ninadaniels1017]

Daily Maverick is an extension of the DA and seems to be gunning for Minister Mckenzie.

[@bevturner2258]

I would agree with you based on this particular video clip. I listened to the end and was pleasantly surprised at the actual situation. That said, the whole tone and way in which it was initially presented, led the viewer to suspect that no donations had been made.

[@andreaz3223]

How about listening to the whole video before writing a destructive comment. Such comments don't support the idea that we all need to hold each other accountable. Accountable.... not being condescending.... is not criticism but investigating if the facts tally with the promises made / actions taken.

According to your own investigation, you can account for R140k that Minister McKenzie has donated in the last two months. I’m not a gambling man but I’d wager it’s R140k more than you’ve ever donated. Why not applaud him for all the good that he’s doing instead of trying to bring him down?! Surely you’re better than that?!

Ah, but has he paid donations tax to SARS on any total donations exceeding R100K pa, otherwise the recipients (charities) will be liable for this?

That's my first thought as well. When donating to entities that are not registered charities, he can only donate R100k in total tax free. Any more than that, he needs to pay 20% tax.

Thank you interesting re establishing an organization. Please. I feel the need to correct you. 1. We need to hold all our South African politicians and leaders accountable. Such fact finding journalism we just watched is how it's done. Praise was given where praise was due. Question marks where answers even from PA itself was murky. 2. Criticism is not the same as holding someone accountable. Not if you believe in facts thst must add up to promises and actions done by the actual politician. 3. Come on. Be more than that. Don't jump to 'it must be racist'. No. This election showed many South Africans want no more corruption. Keep those in power on their toes! If they got nothing to hide we 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@andreaz3223]
