TSHWANE — Sport, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie was his usual boisterous — and promise-heavy self — during his latest public proclamation.

After a visit from crafting artist Sandile Kgaphola, better known as SK Original, McKenzie cut a happy figure as he received a cracked glass portrait of himself.

"I saw this on TikTok!" blurted the Patriotic Alliance (PA) president before retorting that he intended to "revenge" the gesture.
