Why do you say controversial? There’s nothing controversial. Stop listening to people and following media trends. Get the facts. Minister McKenzie is the real deal!!

This man has paid his debt to society, but Zuma hasn't, and we've seen Zumas' track record. That's why nobody wants Zuma anywhere near the government.

This is the spinning that killed 4 innocent children but congrats for his change in behaviour and i am happy he didn't get the post he wanted he could be tempted in cases of bribery

Pretty sure there have been kids who have lost their lives at monster truck or dirt bike rallies in the states too . . Don't fall into the trap of vilifying SA cuz of one of one of the worst western countries on earth where kids are even scared to go to school cuz of what might happen . And people die over colours of shirts.. the US is way worse.. they are always on smear campaigns of other countries and tryna hide what goes on in their own backyards ... Cry about spinning while they go to monster truck rallies and hold pride parades parading their nakedness Infront of kids and no one complains there.. c'mon
