WATCH: McKenzie vows to make 'spinning' one of SA's biggest sports
New Minister for Sports, Arts and Culture Gayton McKenzie has vowed to make ‘spinning’ one of the biggest sports in South Africa.
The Patriotic Alliance leader was appointed as a minister by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Sunday evening.
The PA is one of 11 parties that form part of the new government of national unity.
‘Spinning’ is a South African motorsport that involves driving cars at speed in circles and performing stunts in and out of the car.
In a video making rounds on social media, Mackenzie said that ‘spinning’ and ‘stance’ are not crimes.
‘Stance’ is a style of modifying cars which emphasises lowering their suspension.
"Spinning and stance is not a crime, and you are going to see,” McKenzie said.
"I am so excited because I promised that spinning shall be recognised and I am going to keep that promise. I am going to make spinning one of the biggest sports in this country.
"We are going to stop gangsterism with sports.”
