Central Karoo District Mayor Gayton McKenzie may have been lauded for the money raked in from wealthy guests at his gala dinner in Sandton just over a week ago, to raise funds to eradicate pit toilets and fixing bad roads in the central Karoo district, but shortly after, he found himself in hot water again.
McKenzie hosted a lavish gala dinner a week ago in Sandton Hotel, for stakeholders and businesses. The cost per table was R20 000, the cost per person was R2 000 and to sit at McKenzie's table cost a whopping R100 000. The dinner managed to raise R1 million towards fixing potholes, swimming pools and bringing an end to pit toilets in the Central Karoo.Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.

MarvinCharles_ South Africa is becoming an even bigger dump. Potholes everywhere. Guys be on the lookout when you driving across the country. It’s so embarrassing. I’m embarrassed but I’m glad this man is trying something. Please support him. Support anyone who is making a difference.
MarvinCharles_ Yingadla-ngadla le. Bathathe kwedini kaBawo!!
MarvinCharles_ One of the useless publication of all time!
MarvinCharles_ He know the jail because he is always against the law since he was born
MarvinCharles_ Because of that gala dinner we are going to start fixing potholes today in Beaufort West and the toilets from tomorrow that means job opportunities for our community. So please hands of our District Mayor. I'm ANC councilor and for me this coalition in Central Karoo is the best
MarvinCharles_ What about Cyril Glencore Ramaphosa corruption saga
MarvinCharles_ Thats why SA will never move forward because the negative thinking You against him because of his race or what? This man is tryimg to fix things and u all cry Ure ANC gvnmt wanted a freaking glow in the dark flag . Time SA wise up
MarvinCharles_ But when the ANC does its all cool this year after collecting money from the business community there was load shedding during the gala dinner & ramaphosa ran out the door Ninganyi
MarvinCharles_ Well done. Moenie baiza nie
MarvinCharles_ Things must indeed be changing if a million rand can fix toilets, potholes and a pool. We are accustomed to millions getting lost...like needles in a haystack.
MarvinCharles_ So what was he supposed to do when there's no money?
MarvinCharles_ When are you reporting about this?
MarvinCharles_ That's not how u spell GLENCORE, RAMAPHOSA &ZONDO🤡
MarvinCharles_ How much spent?
MarvinCharles_ We’ll watch this space.
MarvinCharles_ So you come and get money from Joburg? We have lots of banks here. Just saying. 😇
MarvinCharles_ Jealous written all over.
MarvinCharles_ Mmmmmmm
MarvinCharles_ Smear champaign my $$....He has done alot more than most officials that has been in government for years. Watch this space, he will turn around the Central Karoo 🤞
MarvinCharles_ Well done Mr Mayor GaytonMcK, people who know why they are in the office. Please don’t disappoint like the the rest.
MarvinCharles_ How much did he use to raise 1 million rands?
tshepaMotshewa MarvinCharles_ whose swimming pools will be fixed
MarvinCharles_ More likely to go into the pockets of him and his friends but okay 👍
MarvinCharles_ It didn't take long for him to work his way to the money🤔 another case of mismanaging funds coming up I think so. Again I say, it's all about the money for GM. This has nothing to do with the ANC or race, it's about him, finish en klaar.
MarvinCharles_ Only in South Africa...
MarvinCharles_ Gutter journalism.
MarvinCharles_ Nothing new ANC do it all the time, no complaints and no R1 million raised
MarvinCharles_ Leadership
MarvinCharles_ 👌👏
MarvinCharles_ Am rooting for this man you called 'ex convict ', I want him to show the country how a rehabilitated convict is/does instead of the not so rehabilitated back-sliding to gangster tendencies questionable ones running the country currently...
MarvinCharles_ Is the municipality not have budget from treasure
MarvinCharles_ Business men robbed😂😂😂😂
MarvinCharles_ So you ignore the good work done by GaytonMcK and instead parade the whining on councillor of that corrupt party of thieves 🤷🏾♂️
MarvinCharles_ For someone who is new to his office, this is a fantastic move. Now it's time to see how his ideas are put into action.
MarvinCharles_ I think former prisoners who served their time in SA shows a much better understanding than those who were in exile and not actually in a jail cell.... Well-done Mr Gayton
MarvinCharles_ GaytonMcK well done! This is why MYANC must be voted out. People need leaders who care about them
MarvinCharles_ Is this the same councillor that was found guilty of mismanaging council funds in court who is now speaking about violation of finance act?
MarvinCharles_ Haibo there is tax payer money for potholes. What happened to that money!!!!
MarvinCharles_ Check out my chat with Billionaire South African investor Rob Hersov where he indicates his admiration for Gayton McKenzie telling me that 'he has the magic!'. Clearly these business leaders and stakeholders agree - Youtube:
MarvinCharles_ With sincerity and gratitude in my heart I am sharing this testimony so other people will know that this platform is really legitimate am grateful AmelieBtc1
MarvinCharles_ People from all over the country attended. It was held at a central venue. The best part was the enthusiasm that the attendees went home with. I understand that it was a ‘no bullshit’ event. Why the smear campaign news24?
MarvinCharles_ News24 always at the forefront of attacking competent people of color. Gayton isn't my fav politician but this is a positive thing. It may violate 1 or 2 anti-development laws but it's morally correct.
MarvinCharles_ Good leader this wat we need to uplifting our people lives to be better Thank MAN for the good heart!!!!! 💯🙏🙏🙏 Respect '' '' '' 'Respect
MarvinCharles_ Potholes will be fixed, pit toilets be irradicated & swimming pools built. That's what matters to the people of Central Karoo. What's with the smear campaign News24?
MarvinCharles_ No it wont. It will be used as a picket liner.
MarvinCharles_ Wonderful.
MarvinCharles_ For those who have subscribed whats the rest of the story saying?
MarvinCharles_ You sure . How can he be mayor .
MarvinCharles_ Kanti Gayton McKenzie held the Gala dinner in Johannesburg not in the Central Karoo! Are there no Entrepreneurs in that District, is he not from that area! Why not local business people there
MarvinCharles_ Well done good reporting 👏
