Gayton McKenzie points discrimination

During his speech, the President of the Patriotic Alliance mentioned how the government treats black and coloured people differently and used AKA and Mampintsha as an example to prove his point.

"There's a guy called Mampintsha, you must know him. His wife's name is Babes Wodumo, he was an artist in Big Nuz. When he died the government jumped like popcorn to bury him, and they rightly said many people are gonna come to the funeral, it will be a burden for the family.
