“Ambassador, you are challenging me in table tennis. I hate losing. I know my strength. I will not start with you because you are the best in the world. I will only accept your challenge if you accept my challenge for a game of rugby,” said McKenzie. He said the R2 million donation of equipment from China cements the long-standing friendship between South Africa and the Asian economic powerhouse.
“As you know, we are under the Government of National Unity. I will not say it loudly, but it is the best thing that could have ever happened to my country. With the GNU, we have committed to continue the good relations with the People’s Republic of China,” said McKenzie. The minister told the gathering that before he was convinced by his friends to take up the sport, arts and culture portfolio, his sights were stuck on the home affairs department or police.
