Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie has sparked discussion with his comments on FIFA, politics, and South Africa's participation at the World Cup.
Gayton McKenzie π
βInfantino has been the best person for African football. His relationship with Trump isnβt our business. He has been very kind to Africa. I donβt care about his relationship with Trump. This World Cup is not what people think.β
βI respect Americaβs rules. Did everyone in South Africa get their visas? Yes, so whatβs the problem?β
βPeople, for example in Ghana, say Bafana Bafana must lose and you think if they stop a Ghanaian referee, I will care? Maybe you (Marawa) have a kind heart, but me, no!β
βIf South Africa is sorted, our players are sorted, my team is sorted with visas, thatβs it.β
Are you with the Minister on this, or is the politics too big to ignore?
