South Africa’s Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, has sparked controversy after old tweets resurfaced showing him using racial slurs, including the K-word, The South African reports. While McKenzie claims he is “not guilty of racism” due to his personal history and fight for coloured community rights, he admits to making “stupid” and “hurtful” remarks years ago as a self-described “troll.” He apologised for his words but defended some tweets as efforts to “call out racism.” Many on social media remain unconvinced, accusing him of insincerity, hypocrisy, and interfering with any investigation.
