A petition to move Gayton McKenzie from the Ministry of Sports, Arts, and Culture to Home Affairs is gaining traction, The South African reports. This follows McKenzie’s concerns about Miss SA finalist Chidimma Adetshina’s nationality. McKenzie has called for an investigation into Adetshina, whose parents are Nigerian and Mozambican. However, Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber has dismissed unverified social media claims. T
The petition, started by Carol Mbhalati, argues that McKenzie should be moved to Home Affairs due to his dedication to addressing illegal migration. It highlights the current Home Affairs Minister’s failures and McKenzie’s effective track record. At the time of writing, the petition is close to reaching 5,500 signatures. Additionally, there are petitions to remove Adetshina from the Miss SA pageant and to oust Lerato Kganyago as a Miss SA judge.
