Prominent broadcaster Sizwe Dhlomo has voiced his thoughts on Gayton McKenzie’s plan to resign from his role as Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture.
The leader of the Patriotic Alliance (PA) previously noted that his resignation would take effect on Tuesday, 30 September 2025, when his party intends to formally withdraw from the Government of National Unity (GNU). This announcement came after McKenzie’s party issued an ultimatum to Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero, demanding the reinstatement of Kenny Kunene to the mayoral committee following his exoneration from any misconduct, after he was discovered at the residence of the man believed to have orchestrated the murder of DJ Sumbody.
As the resignation deadline nears, the nation is eager to see if Gayton McKenzie will uphold his commitment, with Sizwe Dhlomo engaging in the discussion using his characteristic humor.
