Gayton McKenzie will appear before Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Sport, Arts and Culture on Tuesday to account for the R31 million spent on South Africa's FIFA World Cup 2026 delegation, amid growing criticism from opposition parties over the cost and value of the trip.
Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie is appearing before Parliament's Portfolio Committee, where MPs are expected to grill him over the R31 million spent on a delegation to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
McKenzie is expected to face tough questions from MPs as he reports to Parliament on the department's FIFA World Cup 2026 delegation and related expenses.
Political parties have previously criticised the high price tag of the trip.
McKenzie and his department will appear before Parliament for the first time since returning from the World Cup in the US, Mexico and Canada.
