Wake up@shaungunter-vj2ih on YouTube.The GNU.Viewers have varying thoughts and opinions on Mckenzie's statements regarding the GNU..He likes GNU because it's the only political party that can give him ministerial post@eniashiburi on YouTubeIf the GNU is fighting for the people then there would not be any higher tariffs on fuels, foods and on taxes….@adventuresvanlife125 on YouTubeThis explanation is just more evidence that there is no uinty in this GNU. Pride comes before the fall. How much money and time was wasted for this paricular venue, travelling, catering etc for this event? If this is what you are proud of then I must wonder what's waiting for all of us.@andrelabuschagne-jvp3f on YouTube.Mckenzie a 'sell out'?.Commenters show concern for Mckenzie's contradictions..Guess who joined the club@pauldendaal9670 on YouTubeBefore last year's elections, Mr. McKenzie vehemently critized both the ANC and Mr. Ramaphosa. Since he was appointed minister in GNU cabinet, he now is super supportive of the ANC and especially, the president! We know how much Mr. McKenzie loves super cars and mines…. Is he ( allegedly) a sell out…. I do not believe him.@mariannasteyn9772 on YouTubeHe is such a disappoint. I expected more from him. Now he is just one of the ANC puppet.
