Thank you Gayton, I am super proud of you. Very few leaders apologize. You have humility brother. Keep on fighting for the citizens. Thank you.

The country has been in a rapid decline by being governed by the ANC. Much respect to all the Rainbow Coalition Parties for coming together, putting their differences aside in order to challenge the ANC in the upcoming elections. Most certainly this is a power move by these parties to stop the rot and turn around the country. Let us hope that change will come in 2024, respect to Gayton,Steenhuizen and Mashaba.

I've had serious issues with what Gayton has said in the past, but serious respect to him for admitting when he has made a mistake, and to correct his direction.

I have new respect for Gayton, admitting when he made a mistake. The Rainbow Coalition can be the answer to our prayers, if ALL parties work together. Let's do this!!

Thank you Alec for doing these interviews, I completely ignore other political commentary, as these interviews you do, give me access to the political climate, straight from the proverbial horses mouth. I so look forward to your interviews, really enjoy your content.

You are a big man Gayton. It takes a Lion to apologize. Humility is King.

I love this guy as black South Africa

So much respect for Gayton simply for the fact he is willing to say if he feels he was wrong or made a mistake, too many politicians will never admit that. That alone is something I admire very very much about Gayton especially after this. Absolute champion 👏👏👏

Kudos Gayton👏👏👏👏

Gayton well done for being the better man But let your action speak louder that words

A man willing to acknowledge his errors and showing growth and maturity in thinking over the years, is a man who has earned his place as a leader. PA has my vote because of Gayton.

No one should trust McKenzie. He's to blame for why coalitions fail.

Coalition politics was always going to be difficult. I am so pleased to hear that FFP is also playing a critical role in keeping the coalition going. Kudos to Gayton for this acknowledgment and also for not bowing to the arrogance of the DA. No “DA-lead coalition” is going to save us. All partners must be equal in the coalition and have a shared vision for the future of our country. Else we are over as a nation.

The ANC didn't want to share the booty so now he's on a different tune all of a sudden.

Gayton is very genuine, it is easy to run things when you are genuine.

That's what been waiting for. Service delivery focus, and not self-serving style of leadership. Thanks Gay!

Excellent news Grayston!!! So important and essential. Please keep doing good!

Good interview. Its refreshing to see politicians being straightforward and not beating around the bush. I also commend Gayton McKenzie on being able to say when he was wrong. We need more of this in SA leadership, not the ducking and diviig that we usually see from leaders.

Congratulations to BizNews and Alec. This is major. The adults seem to be entering the room.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Thank you to Gayton for his sacrifice by putting egos aside for the sake of the residents

Never been a fan of Gayton...but respect for reassessing your views, apologising and moving on.

Don't play with the people's lives. Glad the truth is out. Now it's time to move forward. Good luck. 🙏

Gayton you're jumping around like a rolling stone. You cant gather moss! You take us for fools.

OK 👍🏼 hoping and praying that there is going to be some really good changes and that these 4 parties can 🙏🏼 stand as equals and work together to Free us from this Demonic ANC 🙏🏼 🤲🏼 🙏🏼

Gayton McKenzie is a genuine guy. What a pleasure to hear a politician putting the people of SA first.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to trust Gayton McKenzie. There's no difference between him and the cult leader at this point.

I love Biz news because it doesn't interrupt people when they speak... Thank you @Gayton 4 your honesty and explanation...

Listening to him and Mashaba maybe we have a chance, if we can get the cANCer and the EFFUP out.

Atleast he’s taking accountability

Mr. Gayton McKenzie, you have the right frame of mind and discernment to lead South Africa or to be part of a coalition.

Always interesting listen to Gayton Straight honest and to the point

You can't say all parties must be equal. How can coalition trust you and give you equal when you flip flop.

Gayton your humility has given me a 70 yr old white South African man Hope for my children, continue to do what is right for our destroyed nation. Alec you should be president for hosting these important meetings and bringing parties that matter together.

Thank you put the country and the people first. Thank you we need quality leaders. We have the money the change in South africa could be awesome as long as we work together

How about an interview with Mr Mulder? He appears to be the head of strategy on all this.

If these parties can find a way to work together we may just have a chance to live in the best country in the world - RIght people for the right job - No colour, no gender, no religion.......just the right person for the job. C'mon guys! Get this done before 2024. Your vision of a great country is alligned - Detailes can be sorted out once ANC/EFF threat is removed.

Gayton please understand the name of your party. Patriotic: having or expressing devotion to and vigorous support for one's country. No matter what someone promises you or disappoints you, how on earth can you side with criminals, racists and corruption. I'm glad you have made a wise turnaround. Kudos to you.

GoodNews BizNews!

"gee my net wat jy het my laanie" - had me in stitches Gayton summed up our cultural deficiency in one spicy hot-take

Playing games with the future of our country

Well... an apology is something you don't hear every day. So respect to Gayton, despite his past faults.

I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year... Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.

What an oppurtunist.

You cannot cringe because you voted him in Mr McKenzie.

Gayton needs to mature and grow up as a politician, too many miscalculations and mistakes that need to be apologized for, it doesn't inspire confidence in someone positioning himself as a serious national political figure.

I LOVE this

Big respect to you Gayton. SA needs leaders like you.

Thank goodness G 👍

I certainly support Gayton on his stance with regards to making any agreements the political parties or alliances want to adopt public knowledge before they implement them,although this could delay implementation should it be agreeable to many,but not all,and vice versa,at least give the citizens a chance to voice their concerns before implementing new acts,which could also serve to give those in power a chance to review their ideas and implement changes based on advice the citizens offered which might be more reasonable and acceptable to a majority of the citizenry. Granted this might seem Utopian,but it's better than the dystopian nightmare we are currently living with.

Loved the interview. My word the mayor is clueless. I am shocked 😮

😂😂😂, I never comment but Gayton Mckenzie is the best.

Well done, to Herman and Moulder. Hopefully DA does not mess it up this time.

The games being played with the most important city in this country.........💔💔

wow, a party leader who openly apologize for making a bad statement, I am Impressed. You are a bigger man Gayton for this

I like the attitude of this young man, he looks always crystal clear about the fact of the topic on board and very public, i mean he is smart and matured and not emotional about everything is such calibers that must given the opportunity to run the Affairs of this country. The only thing that i sort of not getting so will in his Narratives, is harrbouring grudges against one of his own, but be able to forgive publicly so to Helen Zille, to me that leaves much to be desired.

you humility is really contagious

Hmmmm....I don't know...2024 results will show the true colours! At the moment this is just a chess game been played out!! Thank you Biznews and Alex, the only credible source that I trust with political news and points of view. Fantastic interviews!!!!!

Salute 💚 Press for your commitment To changes the life of our fellow South African people's PA leadership Salute genoeg is genoeg Biza niks staan sament vas

Hopefully the voice of a humble leader and a lesson for not-so-humble leaders

Hmmm...position ...position. All parties can not be equal and share on that basis-portfolio's! Capacity and voter share are applicable!

By the way Alec i love your programme, its very informative from the horses mouth and you do a sterling job.

Thumbs Up man.

This does not make sense. There is a lot we are not seeing that's happening behind the scenes. What I know is as residents of Joburg, we do not feature in the discussions.

Sir. Thank you.

All the kids from all these political parties should grow up, they are all in this for free money!!!!!!!

Gayton cares about himself and his own. It's a lost cause. If you're ❤️ is not at the right place there is no hope left

10000 points for Gayton! I change my perspective if this is the guy that is going into the future for the PA

This guy is not a politician. The reason we hv so many political parties is bcz they are different. You can't force DA to be wat you want.

Expect the PA to join the Moonshot pact and then flip flop again.

We need a mayor that can help our city please .

I have never heard anyone say anything bad about Cornè Mulder.

It goes to show that the parties that supported him didn't do background check. More like the Makwarela's situation.

Hey Gayton.... God says in His living word that He will use the "foolish things" of the world to put to shame the wise....... It certainly seems that you are the "crooked stick/ foolish things" God uses to draw a straight line in South Africa.... Stay rooted and grounded in TRUTH brother... Much Love from the province youll all be moving to soon WP.

ANC is using this political parties to get back to power. They don't see that. Dada Morero we know you are power hungry for power. This Mayors position Dada want this position.

Gayton we need your ACTION in the city of Joburg.

with 2024 fast approaching, all these parties are desperate to raise funds. Tender control efforts are gearing up. Action SA, The DA, IFP, UDM and VF seem to be the only parties concerned with actual service delivery. Unfortunately we live in a country whose citizens are consumed with race politics more than tangible growth and development. So long to the South Africa we once knew and hoped to build.

Gayton, i immediatey got respect for you. You are a clever man and the first politician I ever hear to admit his mistakes. Saluut Brother! You deserve a Bells!!!

Powerful message.

" We all make mistakes so lets not be too specific"! Respect for apologizing big man

There is hope on the horizon

I find Gayton a breath of fresh air . I hope the PA works well with the FFP as i would vote for eirther.

I hope the coalition parties got something up their sleeves to change the minds of ANC and non voters, because ANC will start with their PR campaign soon

I don't buy it. And I sure as hell don't trust Gayton

I hope this dude doesn't flip flop

I'm sorry, the parties getting together against the ANC will always have issues and structural arguments after they beat the ANC. Rather focus on a packt, a true packt that has buggerall to do with the ANC and only focussed on serving the citizens of this country and that district.

I see now Alec that you, Alec, have big role to play in this country's future - your role may be much more important than you realise at this point. (PS. Stop teasing us like this man!)

For South Africans!

We need vote of no confidence in Ekurhuleni as well. Bring back the DA Coalision

Not knowing that you don't know 😂😂😂 imagine you are not aware that you don't know 😅

All this interview makes clear is just how devoid of reality the political parties are. Give portfolios here, trade positions there... never heard a bigger abuse of voter's trust.

people want service delivery not motions of no confidence

Helen is a wise lady, she smoked out, this crook.

Boggles the mind that people with a criminal record can stand for public office. 👎

Gayton if all parties stop fighting and stand together only with one view."let we start open our eyes on service delivery.Thats the only way to get rid of the ANC and Eff.

That little mayor should never have been there!!!

this is my man

Let's move people why are we fighting about power struggle let move together and defeat the Government

Hope the mayor stands up taking responsability is one thing playing with the residents money is another to hell with party put our people first msaga come on leaders rsa first

Well Gayton. If you want people to trust you perhaps you should stop selling out to the ANC every time you get a little bit butt hurt. Maybe also remember that you are very much a minority party. If you want to act like the senior member of the coalition you need the votes. But Kudos on your candour. That is refreshing

I thought he was in jail for being a criminal? Isn't that uhm..... THE TRUTH!!
