South African Minister of Sports and Recreation Gayton Mckenzie recently stirred controversy with a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, where he remarked, “The sun is going down,” following TS Galaxy’s 3-2 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns last week.
The comment has raised eyebrows, as it led to discussions among his staff regarding his stance on the outcome of the Betway Premiership. In a video that surfaced, Mckenzie is seen engaging with workers in his office about the implications of the match results.
The minister’s post has sparked debates, with many interpreting it as a sign of his disapproval of Sundowns, who are a top contender in the league. The conversation has opened discussions on potential biases within sports administration.
