Legendary kwaito star Arthur Mafokate has called out Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie, seeking clarity on the upcoming industry meeting scheduled for the 28th of October.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Arthur addressed the minister directly, praising his efforts in the sports sector but raising concerns about the lack of transparency regarding the event.
“Dear Minister @GaytonMcK, well done on your work in the Sports sector, may you humbly please furnish us with the names of people that you have invited to our industry meeting on the 28th of October, the criteria used for selection, the organisations they represent, sectors they belong to, as well as their membership status. Sorry for using X as a platform, we have tried other avenues,” he wrote.

In addition, Minister Gyton has yet to respond or provide the requested information before the meeting. Until then, Arthur’s call for accountability remains unanswered.
However, instead of rallying behind him, many users were quick to highlight his involvement in the South African Lottery corruption scandal.
One user fired back, asking:
What criteria was used in selecting you as one of the SA Lottery beneficiaries?

Others echoed similar sentiments, referencing the ongoing investigation into his alleged looting of the National Lotteries Commission (NLC). Another user wrote:
You are still under investigation regarding looting NLC yet you want to shift our attention. The nerve 😤
