YES THEY MUST DEMAND TRAVELING COST FROM ALL MINISTERS GOING FORWARD. WHY ONLY MINISTER GAYTON MCKENZIE. SALUTE 💚💚💚🙏🙏🎂

[feriedajansen]

Why only Gayton, why can't the other members also give a lay-out of all their traveling expenses..

[noluthando]

I was on same flight with him back and we were in Business Class. I was surprised he wasn’t flying first class

[michaelmkhize]

If you got nothing to hide you are as forthcoming and not defensive...Great interview well done Honorable Gayton❤❤

[maxinefoster]

Why compare Mama Joy with Gayton Mckenzie? So many ministers has traveled abroad now recently. Can they give breakdown of the cost?

[StuckUpColouredzaza]

Gayton is right. He would be willing to be transparent about his costs but it doesn't mean he will or has to. It's up to him ultimately. It's not a precedent that's been set for him or any other minister or for the president for that matter. South Africans don't know how government operates. LOL. Someone needs to perhaps discuss this on their YouTube or TikTok channel. I'll throw this idea out there 😅 It will definitely be a most watched video, a Youtuber's dream 😅

What about 20 government officials who goes to a meeting and arrives with 20 government vehicles. A car takes five people, just use 4 cars. But they don't see that. It's not just ministers, go down the ranks. Millions are being looted.

[StuckUpColouredzaza]

Tell me you've never worked in government without telling me. What Gayton explains here is exactly how it works in govt and parastatals alike, especially from notch levels 13 and upward.

Hai this must have hurt Gayton Shame,

[GeraldineDeKlerk]

Why don't that person who is responsible for the figures not coming forward and show the naysayers how the balance is balancing...I know if my company sent me on their budget I'm not gonna ask questions unless I receive bad service

[JeffreyCochrane-fjny]

What is 800 thousand to gayton people steal millions he is a very rich he keeps on answering the same question you by asking him its all over social media

[JohanLiebert]

400k went into ground transport according to the breakdown, I know for a fact having lived in Paris for years that VIP transport costs 10k per day how did you spend 400k in 7 days??!!! A shift needs to happen here, first of all that trip wasn’t necessary let’s not lie to ourselves, secondly ministers are supposed to be public servants why are we booking first class flights for them?! I can’t even imagine how many millions went down the drain for Lesufi’s London trip.

[roymutlow]

Mmmm - transparency ??? Still no breakdown of the costs and reasons so what was the interview for
?
