by Zintle Mdaka

The newly appointed sports minister, Gayton McKenzie has many people on their toes with his recent promise to publicise names of artists, creatives and sports stars who have been receiving funds from the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture.

Recently, Gayton took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to let it be known that his department will publicly name those who have benefitted from this department and the amounts they have received.  In his post, he said he had been instructed to do so and state the reasons. Gayton assured that the time when only a selected few benefits is over.

With reactions from his previous post, and X users calling out names of people they think will make it to the list, the Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader followed up with another post; where he said he was shocked when he saw how many complaining artists are benefiting from the department.

In his latest post, he concluded by saying his department has stopped paying trips for super fans, and the funds will be used where they are needed.

X users took to the comment section to weigh in, with most of them thinking of Mama Joy:
