Gayton McKenzie has clapped back at reports that his political party, the Patriotic Alliance, spiked the drinks of prospective voters with alcohol.
The Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture responded to the claims made by a Democratic Alliance representative following a by-election in Nelson Mandela Bay.
The parties disputed over the governance of Ward 34, which the DA ultimately won.
GAYTON RESPONDS TO CLAIMS PA SPIKED VOTERS’ DRINKS
According to a media report, DA representative Georgina Feldtman accused the PA of trying to bribe voters with cash at the polling station.
Feltman claimed that voters were also given instructions on how to mark their ballot papers in favour of the party governed by Gayton McKenzie.
She sensationally also claimed that the party had “spiked” the water bottles for voters with gin.
Responding to the allegation, Gayton clapped back on Facebook: “The way she is talking, she not only tasted the gin but drank the whole bottles out before she spoke s**t”.
Die way sy praat het sy nie net die Gin geproe maar die hele bottles uitgedrink voor sy die stront gepraat het 🤣Posted by Gayton Mckenzie on Friday 25 July 2025
SPREADING MISINFORMATION?
In an X post, Gayton McKenzie also accused the DA of spreading misinformation about him relating to a viral image, which mistakenly accused him of being associated with alleged murder mastermind, Katiso Molefe.
The Sandton businessman was arrested on Monday, 21 July, after allegedly ordering a hit on Oupa John Sefoka, also known as DJ Sumbody, in 2021.
On social media, an image of Gayton, PA deputy president Kenny Kunene and another man – later identified as Dan Bhuga – went viral. Many South Africans mistakenly confused the man with Molefe.
Gayton clapped back on X: “Thank you very much, Patriots. The DA was delivering fake pictures of me with murder suspects to every house. But our people know that we would not lie to them. The WC is no longer a given for the DA.”
