FADIEL BACKS GAYTON

Patriotic Alliance leader McKenzie last week moved to lay charges against Open Chats podcasters for saying coloureds are “incestuous” and “crazy”, but now faces allegations of racism himself after the resurfacing of tweets of him using the K-word.

A tweet from McKenzie in 2017 read: “Words like ‘Black Diamond’ basically means that you are a better k****r, stop naming and giving nonsensical titles 2 blacks”.

The Economic Freedom Fighters called for his removal from the cabinet, while the DA reported him to the South African Human Rights Commission.

Racism

In a tweet on Monday, McKenzie said: “I can never be guilty of racism, try some other take down but never racism.
