According to IOL, McKenzie, who spent time in prison, has many examples of how his sport can help children.
"When I grew up, a boy in our street always walked with a ball under his arm. While we would rob and steal, he would play with the ball, and we would make fun of him. I can tell you so many stories about why a child in sports is a child out of court. We are going to stop gangsterism through sport."

Local netizens said the new sport's boss deserves a chance to prove himself, while they admitted picturing McKenzie getting a different job.

"Minister of Prisons would have been right."

"Let's give him a chance. In fact, let's give them all a chance. We will soon see whether we wasted our votes in the next elections."
Sanjai Tentwala asked a question:
"How will he end corruption as a sport in the ANC?"
Shreneve Shane Singh noticed something:
"Presently, you will not even be able to get a petrol attendant job with a criminal record in SA, but you can lead us in parliament."
Mara Zanin backed McKenzie:
"I truly hope he succeeds."
