DA Calls for Probe into McKenzie's Grants | Johannesburg News
Description
The Democratic Alliance is demanding an investigation into Sport, Arts, and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie over allegations of political favoritism and misuse of public funds—nearly R110 million in arts grants allegedly funneled through a panel stacked with Patriotic Alliance members, plus R31 million spent on a controversial FIFA World Cup program abroad with missing details. The DA accuses McKenzie of setting biased criteria and bypassing accountability, while the Patriotic Alliance dismisses the claims as a political stunt ahead of November elections. The Public Protector is now being asked to probe whether public money was mismanaged or used for personal/political gain.
