Gayton McKenzie frowns at report lying about the cost of his trip for the Olympics
Gayton McKenzie reacts to the report of spending over R800,000 for his trip to the Olympics 2024.
Known for being outspoken on Twitter, the Minister of the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture slammed the report, as he gave a detailed explanation of his trip.
“I left the day the Olympics started; I went for government meetings with other Ministers of other countries. I didn’t attend the Olympics, only the opening and I came back to work. I could have stayed but wanted to get to know my new portfolio. Stop lying to people,” he tweeted.
Gayton further shared photos as evidence and explained that he was performing his duties, not squandering money from taxpayers.
“I attended six meetings in Paris before the start of the Olympics, i went to the athletic villa to greet our athletes, I attended opening ceremony and watch the hockey, gymnastic & sevens game, I opened Ekhaya village & watched the rest of the Olympic Games on TV. What joyride?” he added.
