💨 Abstract

Gayton McKenzie, the leader of the Patriotic Alliance (PA), faced backlash on social media after the resurfacing of his old posts and videos containing the k-word. This emerged following his criticism of the Open Chats podcast hosts for derogatory remarks about the Coloured community. The Democratic Alliance (DA) demanded consistent standards in addressing hate speech, similar to when they removed Renaldo Gouws for using offensive language.
