Gayton McKenzie’s controversial endorsement of ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and his public support of President Donald Trump’s administration have been met with mixed reactions from the public.

In particular, the South African Presidency has distanced itself from the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture.

Last week, ICE raids across the US made headlines over what many claim were “aggressive” invasions and “violent confrontations”.

During one raid in Minneapolis, Minnesota, an Afrikaner South African – dubbed an “illegal alien” – was arrested.

Speaking to SportsBoom.co.za, Gayton McKenzie discussed football fans’ concerns about visas and safety when travelling to watch the Fifa World Cup, which takes place in the US, Mexico, and Canada in June.

The Minister of Sport, Art, and Culture touched on the topic of recent ICE raids, which were tasked with removing and arresting undocumented immigrants, particularly those with alleged criminal records.

Gayton – who is also the leader of the Patriotic Alliance, whose “Abahambe - They Should Go” strategy targets illegal foreign nationals – said: “I totally agree with ICE. We must do the same here with what they’re doing there. I cannot criticise something that I want in my own country.”

BOYCOTTING THE US WORLD CUP

He added, “If you want to go to the World Cup and you have a visa, what problems do you have? If you go through the proper processes of attaining a visa, you will be fine. I won’t be politically correct — viva ICE! I agree with Donald Trump”.

The Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture urged the public not to boycott the FIFA World Cup.

He continued: “People who are saying that we must boycott the World Cup are suffering from cow disease. The repercussions for South Africa would be severe, and we would be banned from international football.”

PUBLIC REACTION

Gayton’s comments about ICE agents had mixed reactions from the public, with some many supporting a similar venture in South Africa.

Others disagreed about his support of US President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

Meanwhile, the Department of the Presidency stated that the minister’s comments were not in line with government policy.

GAYTON A TRUMP FAN

It’s not the first time Gayton McKenzie has sung the praises of President Trump.

Here are a few quotes of how he has publicly endorsed the controversial leader…

“I love Donald Trump. He is a president of peace… I love that! I have no problem with him.”

“Let me tell you something, before all these things, my friends knew I loved Donald Trump. I love that man. The PA knows.”

“Many are saying that @realDonaldTrump has no business telling us what to do, but I will argue differently. When a man pays some of your bills, and he feels that he disagrees with certain behaviour of yours, he has a right to ask, intervene, or even instruct. That’s the uncomfortable truth right there.”

I don't see the problem here. I support the view of deporting illegal immigrants. I don't see why you can go to another country through the back door and be expected to be treated with kid gloves. People who travel to other places illegally should be deported.

The whole matter of being "immigrant friendly" should be limited to legal immigrants only.

On the flip side, these raids are sometimes excessive and need to be done right to avoid unnecessary violence

Deport illegal respectfully don't go about killing people...


nA illegal Dem be Dem no deserve death sentence....

He's right and I totally support him

If you look am closely, he is right...

Make everybody go back their country go develop am!!!

But na those people way them deport I just dey pity..

Because their own go be like starting from point -zero

Google the definition of pandering and then you will understand what this candidate is trying to do.

Trump will interfere with the elections of many countries and it will work well in some places, it will backfire in other places. The classic case is Canada and how, because of Trump's comments, the leading candidate there lost the election. So be careful how you use Trump as a background wallsaver, e fit give you blue screen of death. This is the advice I have for APC re Remi Tinubu joining praise and worship.

Be quiet.

Help me add additional contents.

They're indirectly mocking Nigeria

The mistake nnamdi Azikiwe made was championing for Niger area to be independent.

If the white had still colonise Niger area to these day Nigeria would have being far develop than South Africa.

Today South Africa thinks they're more better than their black folks from other African countries.

Nnamdi Azikiwe shall continue to rot in hell.

You see that people wey dem dey call dem Liberals/Leftist? They will never agree with this ur POV. They are the reason why this world is so messed up.

When are we going to ICE and deport the bandits and Jihadists rampaging through parts of Nigeria allegedly imported by a certain past government to ensure they won in 2015 but have apparently lost control of.

Attention sought in all possible ways

It's not about deporting illegal immigrants, ICE are doing too much. infact they are killing more citizens than immigrants. they act like thugs and the orange man do support their thuggish behaviour.

I really don't like this man,he is too petty and childish to hold such a position 😒. He has good points but he is too streetwise in voicing them out

Randdigital! can't believe such an amazing comment coming out of a South African's mouth.

There is hope for the future generations of Sad Africans. Well done.

It's because you think Mr. Trump is going to stop at the illegals if he succeeds in this gestapo style activity in Minnesota.

Poor student of history.

A majority of them are untrained "immigrants" with heavy accents themselves signing up for that bonus and a chance to walk around with impunity rounding people up like gestapo thugs.

What some people will do for money.

Out GDP never reach to carry out such a tedious job.
