Gayton McKenzie on the DA and ANC’s “Vegas” wedding plans

Loading player...
The Patriotic Alliance (PA) Leader says “we know they have a deal…everything has been agreed, they are just working out the lobola…” He warns, “Both of them are gonna pay dearly because it will be the end of the DA - and it will be the near-end of the ANC." McKenzie also predicts an imminent three-way split in the ANC between the faction of President Cyril Ramaphosa, ousted Secretary General Ace Magashule and former President Jacob Zuma, saying: “I just think that they've pushed Jacob Zuma too far…I think he's going to teach them a lesson.” He reveals that there’s a “Black Pact” rising amongst political parties to form one party. McKenzie calls the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), McKenzie “the wild card” of the coalition of 2024 - and calls for a ban of the song “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer”. He also gives the low-down on his close friendship with billionaire businessman Rob Hersov, and divulges what they agree on - and what they don’t agree on. And he shares the details of his recent visit to Israel. - Chris Steyn Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
