A clip of Gayton McKenzie confessing to taking advantage of women in his past – which he went as far as classifying as rape – has resurfaced on social media. This follows backlash to the Patriotic Alliance leader’s old tweets in which he repeatedly used the K-word.
The Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture has faced growing calls for him to resign amid the racial scandal.
GAYTON MCKENZIE ADMITS TO SEXUALLY EXPLOITING WOMEN
In a clip posted on the X platform, Gayton McKenzie addressed a crowd at a public event last year.
In it, he gave the public a glimpse of his life as a criminal.
He said: “I didnt respect women when I was a gangster.
He added: “Some of you don’t know what rape is. When you sleep with a girl when she’s drunk, it’s rape, because you don’t have her consent.
“We used to make women drunk in order to sleep with them, but that’s rape.”
Gayton’s comments had many South Africans reeling in shock.
@ThisIsColbert: “Minister Gayton McKenzie says he used to rape women? Is the Patriotic Alliance president a rapist? Does Cyril Ramaphosa know about this?”
@TheeBLCKBARBI: “This guy needs to be in jail asap”
@tau_molebogeng: “What a disgusting person.”
REFORMED WOMANISER?
In 2015, Gayton McKenzie appeared on SABC’s Morning Live, in which he admitted to having a philandering past.
The politician was invited to speak about his book titled The Uncomfortable Truth.
The book was written from the former convict’s experiences with love, casual sex, and relationships.
“I’ve got eight kids with six different women. Those were in my player days…in my very naughty days”, he told a surprised Leanne.
Gayton added that the book was filled with words of advice for women, including his three daughters. He said, “I want to leave them much more than money. I want them to be different. I don’t want them to be played like I played women.”
KENNY KUNENE TOO?
Like Gayton McKenzie, his Patriotic Alliance co-founder’s old tweets have also recently resurfaced.
In a few instances, the “Sushi King” made derogatory comments about women. Some of them hinted at taking advantage of intoxicated women. Others, Kenny threatened to sleep with the wives of his critics, including Mmusi Maimane.
In an interview with Metro FM’s Phat Joe, Kenny – a former high school teacher – confessed to sleeping with underage girls.
“That’s statutory rape”, shocked co-host Pearl Thusi exclaimed.
