Former president Thabo Mbeki accused Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie of weaponising Afrophobia and being a counter-revolutionary. McKenzie said he's okay with being called a counter-revolutionary.

According to TimesLIVE, Mbeki published a newsletter comparing South Africa to England. England is also wrestling with the issue of migration. Mbeki said South Africa should find a way to integrate the abandoned and excluded migrants into the country and create a new narrative.

Mbeki noted that voters who felt neglected, ignored, and impoverished were vulnerable to forces that wanted to use their feelings for anti-revolutionary purposes. He then said South Africa's response to the Chidimma Adetshina saga was sordid (immoral or dishonourable). He then said those who take pride in saying "Mabahambe," (they must go) as MacKenzie used during his 2024 general election campaigns for the Patriotic Alliance party (now in coalition in the multi-party unity cabinet), are in parliament and government.

In response, McKenzie said he is a proud counter-revolutionary on his X account, @GaytonMcK. He also referred to the woman whose identity Adetshina's mother allegedly stole. "If standing with the South African who had her whole identity stolen and not with Chidimma makes me a counter-revolutionary, if calling for those who are here illegally taking jobs and causing havoc to "Abahambe" (they must go) makes me a counter-revolutionary, I am a counter-revolutionary proudly."

Most comments online supported the Minister (see below).

South Africa can continue the idiocy and senselessness, but karma will surely come home calling sometime someday.

SA should rest

Thabo should enjoy his retirement in peace

They just keep giving that girl more fame and I'm happy that she still hasnt said anything negative about them

She's keeping her options open so that she can always return there after conquering Nigeria

Anybody with half a brain can see what is happening here.



A man called Mckenzie whose father is a Irish whiteman from Ireland, is shifting the goal post from reclaiming land from White land owners to landless immigrants from Africa.



It is very clear for even the blind to see.


Wen he gets there, he will kill Black South Africans after using u to get to power.

Sir Mbeki is currently one of the finest leaders in Africa

If not for Mbeki, Faye in Senegal would still have been locked in prison.

Respect sir

the average black South African man is one of the most föolish person on the continent. The sooner Nigerians realize this fact, the better for us. Nothing gum those men even w with all the opportunities ANC government provided them with, opportunities which their ladies grabbed wholehea rtedly to improve their lives yet the men get angry that a Nigerian working as a security guard or delivery driver yesterday is suddenly wearing a suit today, sitting in the office while they call him boss not knowing baba had his degree certificates and other credentialst the bottomf his luggage while traveling from Naija. Yes, there are criminal elements amongst our migrants but it cuts across all peoples and they can't operate without high ranking local help especially those in government and security operatives. I'm glad this white politician has set things in motion for carnage since the black man is too foòlish to utilize his own brain

You're too pained 😂😂😂

pained about what ?

Best SA president ever. Mandela was the peace building guy, Mbeki the developmentalist. Boring as hell but Mr Delivery. Rama has disappointed me big time (had great hopes in him). Zuma was a disaster of all time.

Do u understand what is going on here?

That the white have craeted their counter EFF group to divert your attention from getting some land back and rename that country Mzansi to fighting those who supported your anti aparthied struggle.

Do u understand?

Homeboiy:
Make una let this matter die

Chidimma is now in Nigeria

Why the obsession

WannaHowzit:


Do YOU understand coloured history and identity?

Do you know how Gayton's PA party is trying to wrestle the coloured vote from the white DA in the Western Cape?

You're completely off with your conspiracy theory, unfortunately.
