Summary
South Africa’s Minister of Sport, Arts, and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, is under fire after his department allegedly spent 31 million rand on a 2026 FIFA World Cup trip — sparking outrage and demands for transparency from opposition parties. While McKenzie claims the delegation included officials, artists, legends, and media — not regular fans — critics want a full cost breakdown per person. He vows to release all receipts, calling critics “hate-filled” and “stupid,” but the public remains skeptical as the debate intensifies over whether public funds were wisely spent amid national economic pressures.
