After allegedly making attempts to delete his defamatory tweets, Ntsiki Mazwai says McKenzie deserves to have his title as Sports Minister stripped from him.

Like Prince Kaybee, Ntsiki accused McKenzie of failing to take accountability:

"We're dealing with somebody who, instead of taking accountability, will prefer other methods. I stand with the EFF in the call for the removal of Gayton McKenzie as the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture. We do not deserve a non-leader like that; he is not a leader."

"We must get rid of Gayton."

"It is time to call this man by his real name, Gatyeni Makena. He's a fake, vile, racist and blatant liar. Maybe Home Affairs needs to probe both his name change and that of his son."

"He is a big liar. He deleted his tweets and now calls them AI. If those tweets were not racist, why did he delete them? He thinks we are stupid."
