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_ 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 👏
